The Web Edition of our Microsoft® Excel® based statistics software for sales forecasting and demand planning is similar to the Lite version but without support for a second language. Sales Controller Web is designed to be deployed on corporate intranets. However, to access Sales Controller through a web browser, users must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.1 or later and an appropriate Microsoft Office XP (2002) license with Microsoft Office Web Components installed. Like Sales Controller Lite, the business cycle is adjusted manually, which takes a bit longer than the Corporate Edition, which has automatic curve fitting. As with in all version, the monthly sales forecasts can be projected over a period of six years. You can also create as many Sales Controller files as is needed, so the number of sales items that can be forecast is, in effect, limitless. Using the Web Edition of Sales Controller you can quickly disseminate sales forecasts across your organisation on the corporate intranet, providing the opportunity for management interactivity and feedback. All versions of Sales Controller analyse your past sales history for patterns in the data that can be projected into the future. Sales Controller extracts four components from your sales history: the trend, seasonal, cyclical and erratic events components. The trend, seasonal and cyclical components are used to build the forecast. Erratic events such as strikes, storms, machinery breakdowns, etc cannot be forecast accurately using statistics software but nevertheless shouldn't be overlooked. Sales forecasting and demand planning using any form of statistics software, simply provides a sound basis on which to add your own experience and judgement of what might happen in the future. So, for accurate sales forecasting and demand planning, Sales Controller, like all statistics software, should be used in conjunction with expert opinion (see below for more on the basic principles of sales forecasting and demand planning).
