Why is LATAM variance so high in Q3?
LATAM's +25.5% variance is driven by a new distribution channel in Brazil adding $180K in Q3. The forecast model used Goal Seek to project acceleration into Q4.

"Panasonic initially contracted to replace an expensive, inflexible SAP forecasting system. ForQuest delivered and exceeded our expectations with our new demand planning and sales forecast solution powered by IBM Planning Analytics. Our solution proved to be extremely flexible to all our different business needs, while achieving annual savings too. We continue to engage ForQuest to expand the use of our Planning Analytics investment."

"ForQuest has helped provide insights into our business that didn’t exist. We can now manage our business groups more efficiently and effectively which ultimately lead us to a more profitable organization”
Ken Traina

IT built a base system, but the capacity planners now can just add new clients, change what they call forecast methodologies, change different things within TM1 and you don’t need IT for that. So it does reduce that ongoing cost as well"
