What is predictive analytics – and why is it so relevant?
Predictive analytics refers to the data-driven prediction of future developments. Based on historical data, statistical methods, machine learning and artificial intelligence, companies analyze probabilities, patterns and trends. The aim: to make more informed decisions and identify risks at an early stage.
More than just statistics: how predictive analytics works
Modern predictive analytics models are based on algorithms that automatically evaluate data and recognize complex correlations. Machine learning and predictive analytics enable these models to be continuously improved by learning from new data. This results in dynamic forecasts that go far beyond traditional evaluations.
Typical use cases
- Sales: Sales forecasts based on market trends and customer behavior
- Finance: Detection of payment defaults or liquidity bottlenecks
- Logistics: Demand planning, warehouse optimization, route forecasts
- HR: Fluctuation forecasts and skill requirements
Prerequisites for successful use
If you want to use forecasting and predictive analytics effectively, you need
- a solid database with sufficient historical depth
- clear targets and KPIs for the forecasting models
- a BI environment with suitable predictive analytics software (e.g. SPSS, Tableau or your own solutions)
- Technical expertise or experienced partners for predictive analytics consulting
Strategic advantages through predictive analysis
Artificial intelligence and predictive analytics not only allow decisions to be made more quickly, but often also more objectively. Instead of just reacting, companies act with foresight – and thus secure a decisive competitive advantage.
