Consumer Packaged Goods Industry:

The (CPG) Consumer Packaged Goods Industry spans many traditional lines of business. Whether you are
forecasting and planning hard goods with long shelf lifes or consumable products with expiration
dates, good forecasting and planning tools are essential. Managing product promotions, special events,
new product roll outs, and product life cycles can prove to be a very challenging task when using
a manual process.

Avercast Software takes the guess work out of your daily routine and replaces that guesswork with
verifiable hard numbers. Avercast believes that effective CPG forecasting and planning is best
conducted through management by exception. Sophisticated programming allows our customers to train
our software modules how to recognize both normal and abnormal product demand patterns. Upon
recognizing normal demand patterns, Avercast makes recommended purchase orders accordingly. Upon
recognizing abnormal demand patterns, Avercast brings them to your immediate attention for review.
Avercast enables CPG companies to spend less time generating forecasts and purchase orders and spend
more time ensuring their proper execution.
