What is Forecast and what is it used for?
Forecast is a comprehensive data driven, end-to-end, Professional Services Automation (PSA) SaaS platform. The forecast provides intelligent information about projects to make better business decisions. We help companies gain transparency and understand how their projects work. We do this by giving vital visual feedback that is easy to understand. The forecast only takes minutes of training and connecting to your existing applications is as easy as clicking a button.
We want you to focus on being creative and innovative, while getting paid for your work.
This means we don’t have all the resources, but we’re focusing only on the tools you need to make your projects profitable.
That’s what makes your customers dial and that’s what makes your team happy. Forecast takes care of boring things for you, so you can do what you do best.
Perfect collaboration is key to any team. Forecast allows you to comment, mention, emoji and tag everything to make it easy for you to always know what your team is working on. An intuitive, straightforward user interface will help you focus on the things that matter most.
Visualization tools and a structured overview of your projects ensure that priorities are transparent to everyone in the team, so deadlines are always met. The forecast helps you decide where to focus next, shows you what your team does, and allows managers to have a panoramic view of everything that is being done.
Not all projects are created the same. That’s why we support agile and more traditional methods to execute your projects. Create one or more ideal project templates using Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, or a combination. You can even change the model and project dashboard as you progress.
When multiple projects are executed simultaneously, resource planning becomes essential. With Forecast, it’s intuitive to drag people into projects. The forecast shows when they are available and what other projects are assigned to. Quick Book even lets you find the people currently available with the right skills or roles.
