Planners manage product portfolios with data tracked automatically by Horizon

Horizon tracks every new launch against the forecast automatically, flagging it as under-forecast, over-forecast, scaling, or stalled.

When a product's run ends, planners link it to its replacement and set an exact end date. Every active product and its revenue stay visible in one place, backed by real master data.

Horizon's New Product Monitor flags whether a new launch has a forecast yet, and how it's performing once it does

Horizon flags each new product launch by forecast-setup status and tracks its sales performance against that forecast.
  • Horizon pulls every recently launched product's sales, forecast, customers, and planning inputs into one row.
  • Each new launch gets flagged automatically as having a forecast, having a profile but no forecast, or no profile at all, so planners know which ones still need setup.
  • Once a forecast exists, performance against it gets tracked the same way: under-forecast, over-forecast, scaling, or stalled. If sales come in before a forecast was ever set, Horizon flags that activity as unplanned instead of guessing at a comparison.

Planners discontinue an item with its own stop date, inventory run-out date, and taper schedule

Horizon tapers a discontinued item's forecast down on a schedule planners set, instead of cutting it straight to zero.
  • When a planner scopes a phase-out to a specific item, plant, and customer, Horizon stops forecasting it only there.
  • A stop date and an inventory run-out date rarely line up. Planners set each one separately, and Horizon stops the forecast at one while still tracking remaining stock until the other.
  • Once a planner sets the forecast's taper, a flat percentage decline or an exact month-by-month number, Horizon applies it each period instead of cutting straight to zero.

Planners link an item to its replacement, and Horizon shifts the demand over on a schedule, not all at once

Horizon ramps a replacement item's demand up while winding the outgoing item's down on a matching month-by-month schedule, avoiding an abrupt cutover.
  • Linking an item to its replacement sets a month-by-month percentage schedule for how its demand shifts over to the new item, instead of switching all at once.
  • Each phase-in or phase-out item gets its own alert, flagging what's changed and when its forecast is due to start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about portfolio management.
What is portfolio management software?+
Portfolio management software tracks a product through its whole lifecycle, from launch through active sales to discontinuation, in one place instead of scattered spreadsheets and ad hoc reports. Horizon ties that lifecycle directly to the forecast: a new launch gets its own forecast-setup and performance status, and a product nearing end of life gets a controlled phase-out or a scheduled handoff to its replacement.
How does Horizon track a new product launch?+
Horizon flags whether a new launch has a forecast set up yet, and once it does, tracks its performance against that forecast as under-forecast, over-forecast, scaling, or stalled. If sales come in before a forecast was ever set, Horizon flags that activity as unplanned instead of guessing at a comparison.
Can I phase out a product gradually instead of stopping it all at once?+
Yes. Planners set a taper schedule for a discontinued item, either a flat percentage decline or an exact month-by-month number, and Horizon applies it each period instead of cutting the forecast straight to zero.
What happens when one product replaces another?+
Planners link the outgoing item to its replacement, and Horizon shifts the demand over on a month-by-month percentage schedule instead of switching all at once, avoiding a demand cliff on one side or a gap on the other.
Does Horizon show total active products and revenue across the whole portfolio?+
Yes. Horizon keeps a running count of active products and the total revenue they're generating, visible at a glance instead of requiring a separate report.
