Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our solutions and how they benefit your operations.
It depends on the forecasting horizon - the longer you want to forecast, the longer the historic data should be to capture patterns like annual seasonality. In general, at least 2 years of data are recommended. Of course, this can also include new products or transitions with little or no historic data.
This is a common situation we have handled for other manufacturing clients. Our team supports you in properly connecting different IDs so that the data can be used consistently to train accurate forecasting models.
Yes. We can integrate any data that adds value for you - from customer forecasts and framework agreements to market insights, capacity constraints, or budgets. In addition, the External Data Hub add-on allows you to extend your dataset with further relevant external inputs.
Modules are the main building blocks of the solution. You can start with a single module - for example, Demand Forecasting & Planning - and later extend to others as your needs grow. Add-ons are functional extensions of modules. Their availability depends on the selected module (e.g., Inventory Optimization requires the Inventory Management module). Some add-ons, such as the External Data Hub, are more flexible and can extend multiple modules.
Customers have achieved millions in savings. The exact ROI depends on the modules selected and your specific setup, but Quantics ensures a very fast and high return. Thanks to our SaaS model, you can start small with limited modules at low cost, test and scale quickly, and once proven, extend the solution - or even switch to a perpetual license for long-term control.
The Inventory Management module covers core functions - such as replenishment suggestions and approval of supply orders. The Inventory Optimization add-on builds on top - applying advanced methods to fine-tune inventory policies. The Inventory Planning add-on is for businesses using Demand Forecasting & Planning without Inventory Management - it visualizes the impact of forecasts on inventory levels but does not trigger replenishment.
Implementation depends on your scope - the modules and add-ons selected – and whether you prefer a full rollout or a phased go-live across business units. For our core forecasting and planning solution, deployments can start delivering value in just a few weeks.
