Predictive analytics uses historical data to estimate what is likely to happen: which customers may leave, which leads are most likely to buy, how much demand to expect next month. We build predictive models and, just as importantly, put their outputs into the dashboards and systems where people make decisions.

What this solves

The problems Predictive Analytics solves.

Forecasting, churn and lead scoring, and risk models delivered where decisions happen.

  1. 01

    Forecasts are based on last year plus a percentage.

  2. 02

    Sales teams can't tell which leads to call first.

  3. 03

    Customers leave without warning.

  4. 04

    Predictions exist but aren't used in day-to-day decisions.

Capabilities

What Predictive Analytics covers.

Key concepts

Predictions that change a decision.

A forecast or score is only useful if someone acts differently because of it. We design the action alongside the model.

Demand forecasting
Forecasts by product and location with ranges, feeding purchasing and staffing plans.
Churn prediction
Which customers are likely to leave and why, with retention actions ranked by expected value.
Lead scoring
Ranking leads by likelihood to convert so sales time goes to the best opportunities.
Risk scoring
Credit, fraud or operational risk scores with explanations a reviewer can check.
Monitoring
Tracking accuracy over time and recalibrating when behaviour shifts.

Methodology

How Predictive Analytics work runs.

  1. 01

    Frame

    The decision or task to improve, the measure of success and the constraints.

  2. 02

    Assess data

    Availability, quality, access, privacy and labelling needs.

  3. 03

    Prototype

    A small, honest test of whether the approach can work.

  4. 04

    Build and evaluate

    Model development with documented evaluation against agreed criteria.

  5. 05

    Deploy and monitor

    Integration, monitoring for drift and performance, and retraining plans.

FAQ

Predictive Analytics questions.

How accurate will predictions be?

That depends on your data and how predictable the outcome is. We measure accuracy against a baseline before deployment and report it honestly.

Can predictions appear in our CRM?

Yes. Scores can be written back to CRM records so sales and service teams see them where they work.

How often are models updated?

On a schedule matched to how quickly your data changes, with monitoring to trigger earlier updates if performance drops.
