Point of Sale forecasting
Gorilla’s PoS forecasting solution allows forecasting prospect consumption over the duration of an opportunity by using historic meter data (for IDR meters) or load profiles and historic distribution and transmission losses for a specified period.
The calculation itself will, by default, do mapping and gapping, correct for holidays, apply losses, and have the ability to calculate both IDR and non-IDR meters.
Forecasting consumption is a vital part of your bespoke C&I sales journey. Gorilla supports you in making sure it is automated, precise, and streamlined to reduce both your costs and risks.
Short and Long Term Demand and Production Forecasting
Gorilla’s Short and Long term forecasting solution allows demand and production forecasting by rolling forward historic consumption data (for IDR meters) or load profiles and historic distribution and transmission losses for a specified period. It does so bottom-up, at meter level, while maintaining optimal performance.
The calculation itself will, by default, do mapping and gapping, correct for holidays, apply losses, and have the ability to calculate both IDR and non-IDR meters. Weather pattern data and expected market trends can be accounted for and configured to impact each forecasting calculation appropriately.
