Intelligent Forecasting

Volatile markets and short-term changes in the environment require companies to make their planning processes more flexible and responsive.

• Manual process: A large number of planning processes in companies are still based on Excel sheets and the formulas stored there. In addition to being highly error-prone, this manual process leads to inefficiency within corporate planning.
• Lack of transparency: Predictions of planning variables are often distorted by human bias and actual influencing factors are not known or are not used. This lack of transparency leads to reduced confidence in the planning variables.
• Costs: In addition to high time and personnel costs, inaccurate manual planning leads to increased costs and unused potential.

With the KPMG Intelligent Forecasting solution, we offer you a solution for the automated creation of forecasts of your planning figures, which enables precise and consistent forecasts through the use of artificial intelligence and modern technologies. Our solution is based on the following three pillars

• Artificial intelligence
  Use of established and modern machine learning models to calculate precise forecasts.
  
  
• Various operating models
  In addition to using the solution as SaaS, Intelligent Forecasting can also be integrated into your systems or deployed in existing cloud systems (e.g. SAP BTP, Azure).

• Comprehensive consulting
  Many years of experience in the field of artificial intelligence and forecasting/predictive analytics enable us to provide customized professional and technical advice.

We use an iterative and modular process model to integrate the solution into your system, enabling a flexible and tailor-made solution for your organizational and technical challenges. A comprehensive concept is developed on the basis of a requirements and status analysis and the solution is tested in the form of a PoC. This concept is then used to optimally adapt the solution to the needs of the company, set up data routes and integrate the solution into the systems.
