Abstract: The present disclosure deals with a method, system and computer readable medium to calculate suggested data, distribute the suggested data over a distributed computing system and update terminals the new suggested data. The application gathers data from shared folders on the central server and calculates the suggested data. The application pushes all the calculated data into a centrally located database. A second application retrieves the calculated data in spreadsheet form. A data is updated according to preferences and stored the in the centrally located database. The second application transmits the suggested data to select computing systems. The computing system updates the terminals with the new suggested data.

Abstract: A system for promotional forecasting in a retail environment is provided. The system includes at least one processor coupled to a memory storing sales history information associated with a product, an interface configured to receive a promotion configuration profile including an indication of the product and a state of a plurality of promotion variables, and a promotional forecasting component. The promotional forecasting component is configured to determine a base sales quantity of the product based on the sales history information, determine a lift factor for each promotion variable, the lift factor indicative of an effect of the promotion variable on the base sales quantity, determine a total lift factor for the promotion configuration profile based on the lift factor for each promotion variable and the state of each promotion variable, and determine a forecasted sales quantity for the product based on the base sales quantity and the total lift factor.
