Forecasting Sales:  Three Great Options

One of the best things about a QA model is the flexibility it gives you for forecasting new sites. You own the model formula and it is completely portable across technology platforms and providers.

Whether you want full forecasting services or to do-it-yourself, you choose what works best and when your needs change, you can easily change your method. The site forecasting spreadsheet is the key to all your forecasts and gives you the opportunity to change assumptions to see how the forecast adjusts.

QA Site Forecasting Services

If you evaluate a handful of sites a year, and don’t want to be bothered with data and technology licenses, this is the best option for you. Simply send us the site you need a forecast for, and we’ll send it back to you with the data, forecast and our assessment.

Internal Site Forecasts

For analytic and detail oriented professionals who have the necessary data licenses, you can forecast sales of prospective sites yourself by entering the model variables into the site forecasting spreadsheet.

“This is far and away the best, most comprehensive and easy-to-use Forecasting tool I have ever seen. Deborah has worked tirelessly to develop the model to fit our rather peculiar needs and is always available to help when questions arise. I wish we’d had this tool a few years ago, we would have avoided a couple of costly mistakes!”
Joyce Dery, Director of Real Estate, Farmer Boys Foods, Inc.

“The models that Quantitative Analysis has developed for The Melting Pot have been invaluable resource tools for our organization and are used to assist our decision making process and analysis in the areas of site selection, growth strategy, encroachment and market optimization. We regret not knowing about the impressively accurate models available through Quantitative Analysis a decade earlier!”
