DSCSA COMPLIANCE NOTE: All ERP integrations include automatic serialized transaction data (T3) exchange with trading partners per FDA DSCSA §582. McKesson DSCSA milestone achieved August 27, 2025. Non-compliance penalty exposure: up to $500,000 per violation.
FORECAST ACCURACY BENCHMARKS
NUMBERS PRECISE ENOUGH
TO TAKE TO YOUR VP.
| MODEL | MAPE ↓ | RMSE ↓ | BIAS | NOTES |
|---|---|---|---|---|
FORECAST LSTM v3.2 | 3.2% | 61.6 | +0.4% | Hierarchical cluster segmentation + seasonal decomp |
ARIMA (industry std.) | 18.7% | 184.2 | -3.1% | Single-step, no external covariates |
Naive Baseline (last period) | 31.4% | 312.8 | -8.7% | No model — prior cycle repeat |
Exponential Smoothing | 22.1% | 221.6 | -5.2% | Holt-Winters, no ML |
Linear Regression | 27.8% | 278.4 | -6.9% | Static weights, no time dependency |
MAPE = Mean Absolute Percentage Error. Lower is better. Benchmarked on 18-month hold-out set, 847 SKUs, 12 distribution centers. RMSE weighted average across demand segments per published LSTM methodology.

BOTTOM LINE: A 300-bed hospital running Forecast recovers an estimated $2.1M annually in expired inventory and safety stock waste. A regional distributor with 1,200 SKUs typically saves $280K in the first year. These numbers come from 23 live deployments — not projections.
