Geisha Coffee Roaster
GeishaCoffee.com snapshot
Geisha Coffee Roaster based in Longwood, Florida sells gourmet coffees at wholesale, online, private labeling and fundraisers. Geisha Coffee Roaster originates from a 3rd generation coffee family business in Panama.
We have a very rare coffee "Esmeralda Especial Coffee" (Panama Geisha) and we were thinking about dropping it, but when we saw the Lokad future sales of that product we decided to bid on the Auction for that coffee. In the past we had to take the time to calculate by hand or using excel, which is very inaccurate. We now can do it very quickly with Lokad. We can estimate a lot better if we are going to need more staff by looking at the future estimates.

PCAS Aviation Collision Avoidance
PCAS.ca snapshot
PCAS.ca is a technology dedicated to enhancing flight safety in General Aviation and in particular eliminating mid-air collisions. In a very short time PCAS.ca has become the leading seller of portable collision avoidance systems in Canada and recognized as a North American authority in general aviation collision avoidance.
Sales forecasting is important to us since it helps us determine when and where our advertising and promotional resources should be allocated at various times throughout the year. It is advantageous to increase advertising and promotion as known peak periods are approaching. Conversely, resources can be conserved during known lull periods.
Also, these PCAS devices are expensive and overstocking during down periods can tie up funds unnecessarily. I mainly used forecasting as a way to make advertising most effective but I now realize I also use it to help determine how much stock to maintain during various periods as well.
Anthony Nalli, President of PCAS.ca
Busy Outdoors
BusyOutdoors.com snapshot
Busy Outdoors specialty is outdoor leisure accessories for camping, caravans, boats and motorhomes. Biggest buyers are caravaner's and camping enthusiasts particularly families.
We have around 400 products available although this grows on a daily basis as we increase our inventory. It takes a lot of time to manage the stock levels and we don't always get it right by not predicting certain trends.
Lokad can help us by seeing our seasonal changes and helping to predict required stock levels. We have run dry of certain products at a crucial time and then found our suppliers have done the same - we lost sales.
