Why integrated price forecasting is crucial

Cost savings

Avoid bottlenecks

Stability in the supply chain

If volatile markets are identified in good time, the right hedging strategy can ensure predictable budgets and stable margins

Mastering raw material procurement

The challenges

Raw material prices can fluctuate greatly - and often unexpectedly. Without the right tools, companies often recognize market changes too late. This leads to missed opportunities and rising costs.

Late recognition of market trends

Companies often miss critical price changes and react too slowly to market developments.

Uncertainty in inventory planning

Without accurate forecasts, you risk either excessive storage costs due to overstocking or production stoppages due to understocking.

Unforeseen cost increases

Volatile raw material prices can break budgets and destroy planned margins. If an appropriate hedging strategy is also lacking, such fluctuations can mean massive financial risks.

Lack of transparency

There is often a lack of clear insight into the relationships between demand, prices and supply chains.

Demand Forecasting

Optimised supply chains – the influence of accurate forecasting

Supply chains are among the most exciting and complex problems of our time. Why? There are simply too many factors and too many uncertainties involved. The VUCA world ‘at its best’, so to speak. After the extremely expensive pandemic, Houthi militias are currently ensuring that numerous ships are diverted around the Horn of Africa (‘The Cape of Good Hope’, see Fig. 1) instead of passing through the Suez Canal. Tesla has had to temporarily halt production in Brandenburg as a result, and shipments from Asia to Europe are now set to double in price.
