Akron, OH (PRWEB) August 16, 2005 -- The Rainmaker Group is pleased to announce the release of Accelerated Analytics, a hosted service to help retailers and manufacturers collaborate to improve forecast accuracy and better manage demand.

Accelerated Analytics™ connects buyers and suppliers in a collaborative environment where point-of-sale data is used to improve forecast accuracy and decrease stock-outs. The Accelerated Analytics™ environment is a hosted service including preconfigured reports, world-class analysis tools, and color coded exception dashboards. These tools quickly turn data into actionable information and promote supply chain collaboration. Accelerated Analytics provides retailers of all sizes the technology to compete and win through optimizing their supply chain efficiency.

"The benefits of collaborating are clear -- improved forecast accuracy, higher in-stock rates, and higher sales," said Chad Symens, president & CEO Rainmaker Group. Research shows the potential impact can be as much as a 10% increase in sales and an operating improvement of 5%. Mr. Symens continued, "The key to Accelerated Analytics is that it's a hosted solution so there is no expensive hardware or software to buy. We can have point of sale data and reports up and running in days."
