The industry forecast model is always the starting point for a company-specific forecast model. In the case of companies operating in different industry, we often work with mixed sector indicators to take account of the diversity of client industries, or - if the data situation allows - we create separate forecasting models for the individual industries.

Contact us to find out whether a qualitatively good forecast is possible for your company. We would also be happy to offer you a free preliminary analysis of your order intake data to clarify this on a factual basis.
