What levers does AI set in motion in YOUR controlling?

BI2run - Forecast

Tired of forecasts based on gut feeling?

Put an end to uncertainty. With predictive analytics, we link your financial data to real market drivers. The result: AI forecasting you can trust implicitly.

Do you want to free your team from monotony?

AI takes care of the typing, you take care of the thinking. We automate your standard processes so intelligently that you can free your mind for real strategy – right in your familiar environment.

Would you like to detect anomalies instead of searching?

Manual deviation analyses rob you of valuable time. Our AI finds anomalies in real time and alerts you to undesirable developments while they are still small and easy to resolve.

BI2run - Reporting

Should your AI be as intuitive as your BI tool?

We don’t build complicated isolated solutions. Your AI results flow directly into your IBM Planning Analytics or Excel, making your familiar working environment smarter and allowing you to get started without any interruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about AI in controlling. If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

No, nobody starts with perfect data. An important part of our AI projects is to review your existing data and prepare it in such a way that the AI can work with it effectively. Often, AI even helps to find errors in your existing data sources more quickly and massively improve the quality of your database.

Absolutely! We know how important Excel is for your everyday work. Our goal is not to replace Excel, but to make it smarter. The AI works in the background and delivers the results directly to where you need them—whether in Excel or in tools such as IBM Planning Analytics.

Security is our top priority. Your data is protected and encrypted in accordance with the strictest GDPR standards. We ensure that only authorized persons have access and that the AI models run in a secure environment that complies with your company guidelines.

We rely on “explainable AI.” This means that AI is not a “black box” that simply spits out a result. With every forecast, you can see exactly which drivers and factors led to this value. This gives you full control and allows you to present the figures with confidence.

On the contrary: AI is your new colleague, not your replacement. It takes care of tedious tasks such as data collection and calculations. This finally gives you more time for what really matters: providing strategic advice to management and planning the future of your company.

While traditional reporting shows what has happened, Planning Analytics allows you to look into the future. We support you in integrating planning processes, forecasts, and “what-if” scenarios directly into your BI environment. This transforms your BI project from a pure information tool into an active control instrument.

Why is BI2run the right partner for your AI project?

Why is the combination of Excel and AI a real game changer for you?

We know that Excel is your most important tool—and we want it to stay that way. Our approach to AI in controlling is not an “either/or” proposition, but a real power upgrade for your daily workflow. We build bridges: AI takes care of complex calculations, identifies patterns, and validates data in the background while you interpret the results in your familiar environment. This gives you full control and flexibility, but the nerve-wracking headaches caused by manual formula errors are finally a thing of the past.

BI2run - Diskussion Mitarbeiter

DO YOU ONLY TRUST NUMBERS THAT CAN EXPLAIN THEIR HISTORY TO YOU?

In controlling, traceability is key – for you, your team, and your stakeholders. No one likes to present forecasts whose origins are a murky black box. That’s why we consistently rely on Explainable AI (XAI). Our models show you precisely which drivers led to which forecasts. We create transparency instead of flying blind, so you can present every AI-supported decision with absolute confidence and strategically substantiate it.

BI2run- Business meeting

Laying the foundation & celebrating initial successes with AI in controlling

Step 1: The AI check – Where are you stuck?
Together, we will take a look at your data and identify where you are still wasting too much time on manual typing. We will pinpoint the tasks where AI can immediately take work off your and your team’s hands.

Step 2: The practical test – seeing that it works
We build a small test version for a specific problem. After just a few weeks, you will see in black and white how much more accurate and faster your predictions become thanks to AI. This way, you don’t take any risks.

BI2run - persönliches Gespräch

Bring AI into your everyday controlling activities and become an expert yourself

Step 3: Perfect interaction – everything flows together
We connect the AI directly to your familiar tools such as Excel or IBM Planning Analytics. You don’t have to learn completely new software – your spreadsheets simply become much smarter in the background.

Step 4: Fit for the future – you remain in control
We will show you and your team exactly how to use your new “digital colleague.” You will learn how to understand the results and control the AI so that you always have full control over your figures.
