Increasing volumes of data to be managed?
	More suppliers and increasingly complex supply networks?
	Increasingly demanding customer expectations?
	Shrinking product life cycles?
	Reducing product margins?
	Bigger, more frequent and more varied promotions?

FuturMaster software enables you to manage each of these issues and puts you in control of the situation. FuturMaster is a flexible decision-support tool designed for the end user. We recognise that managing supply chains is about rapid visibility and control of issues rather than spending time navigating through multiple screens and reports.
FuturMaster is designed to operate independently or in conjunction with existing ERP and legacy systems. In fact, FuturMaster modules are implemented in any situation where improved visibility, control and decision-making power are required. A FuturMaster solution may be built up from any of the following independent modules:

	OLAP multi-dimensional database
	Forecasting
	Demand Management
	Budgeting
	Distribution Planning
	Constrained Production Planning
	e-Forecasting, e-Planning

All parts of the organisation (marketing, sales, logistics, production, accounts and purchasing) use the same core information (orders, invoiced sales, forecasts, plans stocks and budgets) to help plan and run their part of the business.
The role of FuturMaster is to store, process, analyse and model this information enabling all users to make a direct contribution to the effectiveness and profitability of the enterprise. FuturMaster has a built-in multi-dimensional database with the power to manage huge quantities of data in a simple and effective way. Each dimension of the database includes a hierarchical structure with an unlimited number of levels. Attributes attached to each product, customer and location enable the user to select and manage the data in a completely flexible way. The multi-dimensional database of FuturMaster stores all data (forecast, target, simulation, history, promotion uplift, budget, revised budgets, prices, plans, stock etc.) to provide the ultimate system for performance management.
By presenting the right information in the right format for decision–making, users at any level and in any function of the organisation can make the right decisions. Sales, forecasts and budgets are available in volume (several units of measure), in value (several price types), in costs and with margins, so that each individual sees the information in their own preferred format.
