What we Do In More Detail
Individual Market Forecasts
Demand is influenced by a multitude of factors, each of which is subject to constant change. Relying on sales forecasts based solely on historical data often results in inaccurate predictions and missed opportunities.
While many companies have robust processes for analyzing and forecasting internal factors, external variables—such as macroeconomic trends, industry dynamics, or regional developments—are frequently overlooked. These external factors, however, play a critical role in shaping demand and can significantly impact forecasting accuracy.
Beyond Horizon bridges this gap by leveraging advanced data analytics to evaluate a comprehensive range of macroeconomic indicators. Through this process, we develop a singular, customized business indicator that integrates both internal and external variables. This proprietary indicator offers unparalleled precision, enabling forecasts tailored specifically to the unique needs of the company, product group, or individual product. With the ability to predict market trends up to 40 months in advance, our solution empowers businesses to optimize decision-making, enhance agility, and maintain a competitive edge in an ever-changing market landscape.
With the Beyond Horizon Index (BHI), we provide a cornerstone for incorporating external macroeconomic data into forecasts, enhancing our clients’ demand predictions across medium- to long-term planning horizons. Using advanced data analytics, we correlate internal customer data with extensive external indicator databases. This enables us to develop tailored, company-specific indicators that significantly improve forecast accuracy within the sales and operations process, optimize resource allocation, and create a competitive advantage in dynamic markets, while sustainably strengthening supply chain resilience.
