Case Study: Forestar achieves data confidence and faster forecasting with Acterys

Forestar boosts forecast frequency 3x with Acterys

Forestar, a national real estate development company, faced significant challenges due to an outdated legacy forecasting system. Manual data aggregation from 300 communities led to errors, inconsistencies, and a lack of transparency, which adversely affected financial reporting and shareholder confidence. To overcome this, Forestar partnered with Acterys to implement a modern, cloud-based forecasting and planning solution.

Acterys provided a powerful solution that integrated with Forestar's Power BI infrastructure, streamlining data integration and enabling real-time reporting. The implementation resulted in a streamlined forecasting process, enhanced data accuracy, and full transparency. The results for Forestar were substantial, including a tripling of forecast frequency to monthly, savings equivalent to two full-time employees, and a fivefold growth in ROI, achieving 100% data confidence across the organization.
