The Dataiku Solution for Financial Forecasting helps significantly reinforce accuracy of top-down signals by allowing to easily forecast revenues, expenses, or related values through machine learning (ML) models, with time-series and driver-based approaches.
Load costs, revenues, cash flow, or other P&L components to forecast, then customize time horizons with business or geographic splits in the Dataiku Application. Add your choice of economic drivers from both internal and external sources to get immediate, actionable results to share with business and management teams.
Use Dataiku’s integrated dashboards (or make your own) to perform enhanced financial forecasting analysis. Get ML insights with historical forecasting and actual data, then share results from business-friendly explainable AI.
Make sure ML techniques can be directly compared and evaluated. Deepen understanding of historical forecasting performance and how new statistical ML techniques can increase accuracy — all in a seamless environment with full explainability.
Reduce effort by blending ML and existing forecasting techniques. Integrate expert knowledge of drivers with ML to evaluate effectiveness, then interpret each model’s findings through quick and insightful analyses of key drivers, and adjust forecasting strategies.
