Demand signalling & forecasting
Are you relying on standard reports and educated guesswork to produce forecasts? Do you include weather, temperature and the latest buying behaviour?
Walsall Advanced analytics

What we do
Forecasting
Demand by product and location
Optimisation
The right stock in the right outlet
Segmentation
Stores and audiences grouped properly
Platform
Sub-second query over billions of rows
Who we are
Thinkers and doers who love to ask questions

Our strength lies in the use of big data and mathematical algorithms to derive insight from multiple data sources, including social media data. Our passion is to deliver innovation in the field of advanced analytics, and to help our customers make every decision count.
Data science on demand
You do not need to build the function
- A team for the months you actually need one

- Honest early about what your data can support
Our services
Six questions worth getting right
Inventory optimisation
Do you have enough of the right colour, size and shape at each outlet — or too much of the wrong items, risking write-offs that reduce margins?
Customer-outlet segmentation
Would you like to group stores by customer behaviour, products sold and willingness to pay, and run promotions on those criteria?
Sales driver analysis
What are the key influencers for your product sales? Weather, advertising, social chatter — or price and promotion?
Audience profiling
What does your social media audience look like, where are they from, and who likes or dislikes a particular brand or product?
Combined data analytics
Can you map what percentage of sales is affected by social activity, and does your product mix reflect current trends?
Platform
