TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A POWERFUL FORECASTING ENGINE
As part of the Mainsail commercial excellence suite, Mainsail Forecast is built on a powerful and customizable back-end analytics engine. With this platform, commercial teams have access to sophisticated life sciences forecasting methodologies, housed within a sturdy technology infrastructure.
TEST SCENARIOS AND MANAGE ASSUMPTIONS
Life sciences companies must account for every detail that could impact product performance. They must also understand how variables change under different scenarios. From tracking complex patient flows and accounting for new indications to creating country-level forecasts, companies need a powerful and flexible platform to manage this intricate web of calculations.
ORGANIZE DATA
Keep data organized and agilely slice and dice results for analysis using Mainsail Forecast’s flexible infrastructure. The platform enables commercial teams to adjust forecasts while maintaining data integrity.
CREATE ENGAGING VISUALIZATIONS
Data visualization helps commercial teams bring forecasts to life and make the implications of forecasts clear to stakeholders. Present data in interesting ways using Mainsail Forecast’s built-in visualization functionality and integration capabilities.
case study: Overcoming forecasting complexity in oncology
- Perform complex calculations related to treatment regimens, patient flows, lines of therapy and more.
- Enable stakeholders to view and, where appropriate, adjust the assumptions of the forecast to test scenarios within Mainsail Forecast – all without creating version-control issues that were common with the company’s old Excel-based model.
- Integrate forecasts into the company’s business intelligence tools, allowing users to easily create compelling visual representations of forecasts.
