**Interactive has a "what-if scenario" strategic modeling capability and monte carlo simulation that the batch version does not.

Demo works on 720 time series from text books and up to 10 observations of YOUR data so it really is an academic product where you can see the model development, etc.

All attributes are important, but we wanted to point out that the "Series in one dataset" is a very important variable to consider as that limits the number of input variables that you as a user can identify plus the number of intervention variables(ie. pulse, seasonal pulse, level shift, trend) that Autobox can identify. So, if you choose a product with 6 series then you may not be utilizing Autobox's power to the fullest because of that constraint.

1)The Interactive version (which looks like our trial software) does not have batch capability, but does have "what-if" scenario capability. You are running one series at a time. It can import one series at a time from Excel or read flat files.

2)The Batch version can also read flat files, but also allows you to import multiple series from an XLS file and additionally has the ability to add various causal variables(e.g. business days, holidays) to your entire list of SKU's in one easy step. If you have a lot of series to forecast then you would be better off with a batch product. When you run the batch product it submits all series for modeling and begins processing.

3)The Callable DLL can be integrated into your system/application which is the fastest way to get forecasts. Our partners use this method to fully integrate Autobox into their solution.

Q:What if you buy a basic version of your package and want to upgrade to a more expensive version, will you only pay for the difference in price or will you have to pay for the full amount of the new version?

A:AFS does not encourage customers to purchase inexpensive versions and move up. Our policy is that we will provide a full credit toward any trade up or trade-in for the first 30 days. For trade ins between 30 and 60 days we will provide a 50% credit. After that you would have to pay the full price. Thus if you bought the $800 version and decided within 30 to 60 days that you had made a mistake and wanted a $1,400 version, you would have to pay an additional $1,000 ( $1400 less the 50% trade in on the $800 version). It's best to fully understand your needs. We will be glad to help you and suggest the program that best meets your needs. Call us at 215-675-0652 and we will explain this to you in full.
