When a forecast misses the mark, you may face stockouts, excess product, rushed freight, lost sales, and frustrated customer relationships. For medical device manufacturers and distributors, those problems can quickly ripple across sales, operations, procurement, and finance. We see stronger planning start with a wider view of demand. Prior-period sales matter, but they are only one part...]]></description><link>https://www.base86.com/post/understanding-medical-device-analytics-for-smarter-demand-forecasting</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a98dd2e72f5ee628cd75e8a</guid><category><![CDATA[Healthcare]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 07 Sep 2026 04:38:03 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/84dd24_c9c714b1ebb44ab6a040df0b843ecbc9~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mariya A.</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The True Cost of Manual Quote Automation in Healthcare]]></title><description><![CDATA[Manual quote work can quietly drain healthcare revenue long before an order is placed. When product details, customer agreements, availability, and approvals live in separate places, every quote takes more effort than it should. We see the impact reach far beyond employee time, affecting margins, customer confidence, and a team’s ability to respond when demand picks up.
