Amplify Analytix proves more accurate, easier forecasting is possible, securing the coveted REACH Incubator award 2023
AMPLIFY ANALYTIX’S BREAKTHROUGH WITH DFAST
Amplify Analytix emerged as a winner out of 400 applicants of the highly esteemed REACH Incubator, part of the European Commission funding programme “Horizon 2020”. Working in collaboration with Tetra Pak, Amplify Analytix’s Dynamic Forecasting at Scale System (DFAST) was acknowledged for its exceptional ability to tackle the notoriously challenging problem of getting to a highly accurate forecast.
Laura Murphy, CEO of Amplify Analytix said “The benefits of an accurate forecast have long been clear: good forecasting not only reduces waste, it increases customer experience and optimises production planning and inventory, ultimately freeing up precious working capital. However, it has been made harder through trend changes during the pandemic, supply chain shocks, and spiraling inflation. We think that experience-based forecasting has become almost impossible. With the introduction of DFAST, we are proud to be able to deliver a more accurate forecast in an efficient way, ultimately helping our clients to serve their customers better.”
