Introduction to QAT
The Quantification Analytics Tool (QAT) is a modernized solution for country-led forecasting and supply planning. QAT leverages new technologies to enhance and modernize the functionality offered by the incumbent PipeLine (supply planning) and Quantimed (forecasting) tools by providing advanced visualizations, master data management, and updated planning logic on a cloud-based solution with offline functionality.
QAT is being built in two modules – the supply planning module (launched December 2020) and the forecasting module (launched June 2022). For more on the Functional Requirements used to build QAT, please see Business & Technical Requirements.
