   Business Forecasting with Write-Back

What is Business Forecasting?

It is common to hear a company’s management speak about forecasts. Every decision and every process the company engages in intend to be based on some prediction to support them. The growing importance of business forecasting is obvious, especially in times of change and uncertainty:

    • Companies can estimate their financial requirements, so they guarantee an efficient use of their resources.
    • Companies can estimate their financial requirements, so they guarantee an efficient use of their budgeting resources;
    • Teams can achieve more effective control, by becoming aware of their weaknesses and implementing measures for the future.

Challenges

When using Tableau to show business KPIs or any other metrics, automatic forecasting mechanisms can be easily applied; however, on a number of business processes, it is necessary for the team responsible for the forecasting to manually input the data. This is not a straightforward task, with Tableau requiring switching to third-party tools.
