|  Forecast
is a powerful support tool for sales budgeting and forecasting.
Forecast is a client-server application, multi-language,
natively integrated with G- TeX (Porini ERP), but it
can also be interfaced with any other ERP system.
The outputs of Forecast are used by sales management
to create sales budgets and by production management
to define purchase and production plans and control
them while the season progresses.

etc.). |

| • |
Creation of predicted manufacturing
orders based on forecasts and projections. |
