In forecasting, intelligent solutions are not guaranteed by the most complex method nor the most expensive software. Different forecasting applications require different methods and specialised configurations - and many forecasting problems are unique! We consider only the simplest feasible solution that works efficiently & robustly for an application as intelligent - and this requires expertise embedded in software, not only statistical methods.

 

BISlab offers effective & efficient solutions for predictive intelligence. Our exclusive focus on forecasting problems in cooperation with leading academic institutions allows us to offer state-of-the are software and services to industry - all made in Germany ... and all integrated into a single software package with intuitive user interface.

Solutions for SAP APO-DPConsulting & Training

IF offers the first industry-grade software dedicated to forecasting with support vector regression (SVR) and neural networks (NN), that facilitates nonlinear, data-driven and non-parametric prediction. The software provides various expert features (i.e. input-variable & lag-identification, data-preprocessing) for multiple forecasting horizons. In addition, the software includes statistical benchmarks of ARIMA- & Exponential Smoothing -methods for forecasting competition evaluations (incl. fixed horizon, rolling origin evaluation across multiple error measures).

SAP's Advanced Planner and Optimiser (APO) offers a variety of features for demand planning (DP) - yet it leaves many decisions to the expert demand planner. Selecting adequate models (level, trend, seasonal etc.) and correct alpha-, beta- and gamma-parameters that one can trust to work robustly & automatically month by month provides a time-consuming challenge in going live and in introducing new products. We have developed a specialised software solution that analyses your assortment for value & predictability (ABC-XYZ-analysis) and recommends the most suitable APO-DP forecasting model & parameters for each of your products. We even set-up a set of forecasting profiles to start with straight away! [find out more]

We offer a wide range of consultancy services: from developing state-of-the-art neural network models for your problems, identifying suitable statistical methods, developing custom made forecasting software, supporting standard software selection & implementation (also within ERP systems), setting up organisational forecasting processes, all the way to teaching, training,coaching and mentoring schemes to enable you and your business to develop your full forecasting potential.
