DecisionTime / WhatIf Applications
Improve your forecasting and predictive capabilities with DecisionTime and WhatIf?
The collaborative forecasting and planning power of DecisionTime and WhatIf? is used to improve decision making in a number of industries.
Retail
What if you could know future sales? DecisionTime and WhatIf?
help e-commerce and consumer goods companies make more informed decisions about pricing, promotions, distribution, staffing and inventory. Our customers use DecisionTime
to forecast revenues and sales by product line, sales region, customer segment and distribution channel. Then they use WhatIf?
to e-mail forecasts to decision makers throughout the organization. Decision makers can then manipulate variables such as advertising, promotional expenditures, product price and competitive activities to evaluate the effect on sales and revenue.
Telecommunications
What if you could know future churn rates? DecisionTime and WhatIf?
help telecommunications providers improve their marketing programs by making more informed decisions on how to increase revenue per customer, improve customer acquisition and reduce churn rates. They use
DecisionTime to forecast revenues, minutes of use, acquisition and defection by geographic region, customer segment, distribution channel and price plan. Then, they use WhatIf?
to create marketing programs to attract the most desired customers in the most desired regions and lead them to the most cost-effective distribution channel. You can e-mail WhatIf? Files to other WhatIf?
users so a manager across the globe can develop customized marketing programs for each region based on the same accurate forecasts and WhatIf? analyses.
Manufacturing
What if you could know future production costs and volumes? DecisionTime and WhatIf?
help manufacturing companies make more informed decisions about machinery, personnel and other resources. Our customers use DecisionTime
to forecast inventory levels, production levels and efficiency by organization, person and production unit. Then, using WhatIf?, decision makers can manipulate variables such as the number of staff, hours
worked, turnaround time and machinery to evaluate the effect on production cost and volume - and make better decisions that lead to their desired levels.
Finance
Imagine having the power to create business plans that can see the future and the effects your marketing decisions will have. What if you could know future acquisition rates and revenues? DecisionTime and
WhatIf? help financial organizations improve marketing programs by making more informed decisions on how to attract and retain the most profitable customers. Customers use DecisionTime
to forecast revenues, acquisition rates and defections by geographic region, customer segment and product line. Then, they use WhatIf?
to create marketing programs that attract the most profitable customers and promote the most lucrative products and services. You can e-mail WhatIf?
files, so managers in varied geographical areas can develop customized marketing programs for each region. Financial organizations also use DecisionTime and WhatIf?
to track competitive promotional activities in order to understand the most effective response.
Government
What if you could know future expenses by program and agency? DecisionTime and WhatIf?
prepare government agencies for the future by enabling them to make more efficient use of their capital, financial and personnel resources. Government agencies use DecisionTime
to budget and forecast revenues and expenses by program and agency level. These customers also use economic variables and internal funding as predictors to understand how they affect governmental expenses and revenues. Using
WhatIf?, government agencies can collaborate in their budgeting and forecasting process and adjust the items within their control to obtain desired results.
Education
What if you could know future levels of enrollment, endowments and funding? DecisionTime and WhatIf?
prepare academic institutions for the future, allowing them to make more informed decisions about advertising, tuition, housing and alumni fund-raising campaigns. Universities and colleges use DecisionTime
to forecast revenues and enrollment by department, program and school level. Then, they use high school graduation data, population growth rates, census data, interest rates and other economic variables to understand how they affect student enrollment and revenue. Using
WhatIf?, university and college decision makers can manipulate variables such as tuition levels, advertising budgets and promotional expenditures to evaluate their affect on enrollment and revenue at each
level.
