Case Study: SKLZ achieves improved forecast accuracy and streamlined supply planning with Avercast

Sklz CEO realized that this outdated way of forecasting was costing sklz and losing sales, so they switched to Avercast

SKLZ, a maker of training and sports equipment with about 350 SKUs sold to major retailers like Amazon and Walmart, was relying on fragmented Excel spreadsheets and weekly meetings for forecasting. CEO Matt Peters found that this outdated process was costing the company money and leading to lost sales, so he selected Avercast’s forecasting and planning software as an affordable, more sophisticated alternative.

Avercast implemented a customized forecasting and supply-planning solution that put SKLZ’s data into a live, dynamic system—allowing the team to sort and analyze forecasts at any level, combine forecasting with supply planning, and move away from manual edits. According to SKLZ’s Director of Planning, Erica Davis, visibility and forecast accuracy have improved, the team can be far more analytical, and implementation support from Avercast (including Joe Averill) smoothed the transition.
