Robotic Process Automation, Analytics, & FOrecasting
Similar to commercial organizations, the Public Sector faces issues that require immediate attention: from a high volume of work that blocks productivity, to employee shortage, from frequent regulatory and policy modifications to insufficient collaboratory tools to allow different departments to synchronize.
RPA finds fertile ground and strong opportunities in government, as it allows to prioritize human-centric services and declutter departments from redundant and time-consuming tasks. RPA has a positive impact on cost reduction, productivity, accuracy, data analysis and decision-making.
Forecast5 combines advanced software expertise with domain-specific experience to deliver analytics for the public sector. Using our suite of simple tools, you can build annual or multi-year budgets, model different scenarios, and future impacts, find new revenue sources, and more, with a series of clicks.
Never build a spreadsheet again.
Managing by spreadsheet is familiar, but it is labor-intensive, limited, and, with advances in data science, obsolete.
That's why an increasing number of school districts, higher education institutions, and municipalities are successfully using Forecast5's data analytics software tools for decision support.
Forecast5 is the only provider in the marketplace that offers proven, easy-to-learn-and-use public sector budgeting and data analytics software designed specifically for the daily and long-term strategic needs of K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and municipalities.
