Forecaster

Recent times have witnessed businesses making grave strategic errors because of inaccurate industrywide forecasts in contexts ranging from market research or investments to competitive intelligence. While these inaccuracies in assumptions stemmed from a lack of efficient forecasting techniques, the companies started to realize how past data (related to sales or market growth) can be utilized to determine possible upcoming trends and extrapolate what could happen in the future.
As technologies emerge and industries evolve, gauging the present state of the market has become paramount. Zeta, however, gives more importance to understanding where the market is heading. In the light of the same, ZMP Forecaster allows omnichannel audience forecasting in the Audience Explorer.
