Abstract

A computer enabled business system is disclosed which provides a business with the ability to be aware on a moment-to-moment basis of their historic, current and future operational states. The business system uses a dynamic data engine for the purposes of creating and displaying historic transactions, current stock levels and forecasted demand data in real-time. As the data is created and cast forward, the data retains attributes of the original transaction data. These attributes are configured and modified dynamically resulting in precise and managed demand forecast, budget and purchasing information. Any change in the raw data as a result of a business transaction is immediately reflected in the demand forecast; hence, the data is in a perpetual dynamic state.

Claims49

Dependent claims

A dynamic data engine used to forecast future demand of product units in real-time comprising:

means for storing unit sales data describing sales of said product units over multiple seasons,
means for receiving unit sales data and continuously updating said stored unit sales data in real-time,
means for appending a forecast pattern code to a new product units product code which is substantially equivalent to a previous season's product code where said new product unit is substantially equivalent to the product unit represented by said previous season's product code,
an algorithm for calculating forecast unit sales data for future unit sales based on the historical record of unit sales in said means for storing unit sales, wherein each product for each season is uniquely represented by a multi-field product code which provides an historical reference when undertaking analysis or forecasting for future unit sales, at least one field of said multi-field product code being hierarchical, and
means for displaying sales forecasts in a plurality of views.
