Halo and VicinityBrew™ Partner to Create Innovative Demand Forecasting Solution for Beverage Suppliers
San Diego, California (PRWEB) December 01, 2016 -- Halo, the supply chain intelligence company, today announced the integration of its fast-growing demand forecasting software, SkuBrain, with VicinityBrew™, the leading enterprise planning system for beverage suppliers. VicinityBrew™ will extend its one-stop-shop capabilities by enabling customers to forecast demand from their historical data and management input – and use that data for production and inventory management.
“The VicinityBrew™ partnership is a key to our strategy of offering better analytical tools in easy-to-use software for beverage companies that may not have the resources of their larger global competitors,” said Keith Peterson, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Halo. “Many beverage companies today are reliant on best guess forecasting or using spreadsheets that require manual processing and are error-prone. This is especially difficult in fast growth markets like craft, where new SKUs and flavors are a constant. SkuBrain uses the latest machine learning techniques to recommend the best forecast for each product and channel. It offers capabilities for mature brands as well as new product introductions.”
“VicinityBrew™ has been built around leveraging technologies that are available today. This partnership with Halo and their SkuBrain forecasting product is another example of this dedication,” says Randy Smith, CEO/Co-founder, Vicinity Manufacturing. “We are helping breweries connect data in ways no other software system in the market is. By connecting our solutions, we pick up synergies between the companies and help build a collaborative software ecosystem for breweries at an affordable price.”
Halo and VicinityBrew™ will work together to bring forecasting solutions to customers of all sizes in the beverage industry – core vertical markets for both companies – as well as providing dedicated resources for marketing and customer support. Halo also offers demand forecasting advisory services for its clients.
Halo’s business intelligence innovation and long-term relationships with more than 277 customers in North and South America, Asia and Europe will be a key channel as the partnership looks to help foster the global transformation to the digital supply chain. VicinityBrew™ software for craft breweries increases operational efficiency and reduces costs by automating and integrating critical information along the supply chain.
