AI-Automation

Our AI automation forms the basis for reliable, fully automated forecasts. This allows you to benefit from robust and efficient forecasting quality that significantly simplifies and optimizes your planning.

Forecast Explanations

With our Forecast Explanation feature, your forecasts are no longer a black box. You can see exactly which factors influence each individual forecast value. This transparency sets us apart from many other providers and offers you a clear, comprehensible basis for decision-making.

Consumer Insights

Create individual overviews to analyze the accuracy of your forecasts and flexibly adjust the data display. This allows you to gain specific insights into the performance of your planning and optimize your forecasts across different planning horizons.

Action Planner

With the action planner, you can integrate recurring or irregular events such as marketing campaigns into your forecasts. Events that do not emerge directly from the data can be added manually to make your forecasts even more precise. This allows you to retain control over all factors - even in the case of exceptional measures.

Demand Forecasting

Optimised supply chains – the influence of accurate forecasting

Supply chains are among the most exciting and complex problems of our time. Why? There are simply too many factors and too many uncertainties involved. The VUCA world ‘at its best’, so to speak. After the extremely expensive pandemic, Houthi militias are currently ensuring that numerous ships are diverted around the Horn of Africa (‘The Cape of Good Hope’, see Fig. 1) instead of passing through the Suez Canal. Tesla has had to temporarily halt production in Brandenburg as a result, and shipments from Asia to Europe are now set to double in price.
