Columbus Global

Optimize your demand forecasting in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations with machine learning for increased accuracy

Increase the accuracy of your demand forecasting in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations with Microsoft Azure services and enable higher efficiency and transparency in supply chain operations and planning.

Demand forecasting plays an important role in supply chain decision-making. It is an essential component of any supply chain strategy because it can help businesses make informed decisions about production and inventory levels, pricing, and other aspects of their operations.

Applying machine learning (ML) in demand forecasting can increase the accuracy of your demand predictions and help reduce traditional challenges in planning such as long delivery lead times, high transport costs, high inventory, and waste levels.

By utilizing Microsoft technologies, this solution enables a more accurate and reliable demand forecast for higher efficiency and transparency in supply chain operations and planning.
