Description

Enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of decision-making across various levels by leveraging a comprehensive suite of automation, scalability, statistical expertise, and transparency, drawing from our extensive experience with numerous utilities globally. As the grid continues to evolve, it is essential to utilize a forecasting platform that can handle vast data sets to yield insights that reach down to the circuit level. SAS Energy Forecasting has demonstrated its ability to deliver detailed insights derived from these extensive data collections. By providing results that are repeatable, scalable, traceable, and defensible, this solution significantly boosts forecasting accuracy across diverse locations and levels of aggregation. The forecasts produced are transparent and well-documented, facilitating communication with both internal teams and external stakeholders, which can help prevent potential regulatory fines that could amount to millions. Furthermore, taking advantage of all available data can optimize investments in smart meters and advanced metering infrastructure, ultimately leading to improved operational outcomes. This comprehensive approach ensures that utilities remain agile and well-informed in a rapidly changing energy landscape.

Description

Smart Demand Planner™, a consensus-based demand planning and statistical forecasting tool, is available on Smart's Inventory Planning and Optimization platform, Smart IP&O. Smart Demand Planner, powered the SmartForecasts®, Engine, combines strategic business forecasting at all levels of your product hierarchy with granular forecasts for the item mix to improve forecast accuracy. It provides a solid, objective foundation for your sales- and operations planning (S&OP). Smart Demand Planner's collaborative workbench allows for forecast overrides to apply, import, review, and be approved by authorized users who are responsible for the consensus plan. Forecast accuracy can be measured to ensure the best forecast is delivered to the business at both aggregate and item mix levels. This results in more efficient sales planning, budgeting and production scheduling, as well as ordering and inventory planning.
