At PREWIQ, we understand business as the beginning of a partnership, not as a one-time software sale. First, we try to understand the reality of the company, its uncertainties and the impacts of inaccurate planning. We base the discussion on data and concrete benefits for business, production, purchasing and management. The goal is for demand forecasting to be not just a tool, but a practical support for better everyday decision-making.

MP Krásno moved from planning “on paper and experience” to data-driven production and shipping management with the PrewIQ platform. The change brought not only automation, but also a new way of working for planners – from manual creation of plans to exception control. The company significantly extended the planning horizon, manages higher complexity and action peaks while keeping the same number of planners. The case study shows how data planning helps increase performance and reduce overtime.
High forecast accuracy does not mean that planning in a company is actually working.

The key question is therefore not how accurate your forecast is, but what decisions you make based on it.
