Thrive’s Firstcast solution is a
revolutionary new system de-
signed for large distribution and

Thrive Firstcast:
How it Works
Firstcast is an enterprise demand
forecast optimization system
based on Thrive’s proprietary
patent pending forecast engine
that is proven to improve the
baseline statistical forecast accu-
racy of ERP systems and ad-
vanced replenishment systems for
large distribution and retail com-
panies, resulting in improved
replenishment buys and more
profitable inventory levels.
No matter how large your com-
pany, Firstcast is remarkably easy
to implement. Firstcast is deliv-
ered as a Software as a Service
(SaaS) and is typically live within
30 days. Since it quite simply
provides more accurate forecasts
to your existing replenishment or
ERP system, it is a painless im-
plementation because it requires
no change in business processes.
The financial impact is quick,
significant and measurable.
Thrive Firstcast:
Get The Edge
Most advanced replenishment
systems and ERP systems use
forecasting science dating back
to the 1950’s that were con-
strained by the very limited
computing power of the era.
Meanwhile there have been
many advancements in the
world of forecasting that are
difficult and expensive for ERP
systems to implement and adopt
to their customer bases.
Thrive’s SaaS model provides
virtually unlimited scalability
and processing power. Thus
Firstcast can take advantage of
the latest forecast science to
maximize forecast accuracy for
each SKU.
