Build a Complete & Accurate Forecast

Sales forecasting can be greatly enhanced by including backlog and shipment data that often resides within ERP systems. Sales reps, sales operations and sales managers should be able to easily leverage the relevant ERP data for improving their forecasts, measuring forecast accuracy and establishing trust — without having to go back and forth between multiple systems.

Yet, a systematic integration between the ERP system and the forecasting system presents its own challenges. Shipment and backlog data is stored in the ERP system in a way that operations understands it best. Integration requires complex data transformations to ensure that account names, customer names, order IDs and other variables match between the ERP system and the forecasting system used by sales. Furthermore, the systems must exchange data on a periodic basis, not just once. Finally, whenever the source ERP system changes when the business changes, the integration needs to change as well.

Right90 Shipment Connector™ for SAP

Right90 offers a pre-built Shipment Connector for SAP to address these challenges. The connector works in conjunction with the Right90 Integration Foundation™ powered by Cast Iron and offers the ability to import shipment and backlog data from SAP. By integrating "actuals" data into the forecast within Right90, customers can improve forecast accuracy. Additionally, IT can leverage the pre-built connectors to achieve integration at lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

For IT Minimized implementation risk at lower TCO
