AI-powered forecasting:
Why your rolling forecast is blind without predictive analytics.

Does your forecast feel more like “guessing with Excel” than real control?

Which levers in your rolling forecast should AI operate for you?

BI2run - Forecast

Predictive sales forecasting

Analyzes historical CRM data, seasonal patterns, and external market indicators. You identify revenue risks months in advance and secure your growth targets with valid data.

Automated cash flow forecasting

Evaluates actual payment behavior at the document level and proactively identifies late payments. Bottlenecks are avoided thanks to a daily preview of your cash flows.

Predictive scenario simulation

Use predictive analytics for driver-based what-if analyses (e.g., raw material prices, currency effects). You can run through complex future scenarios in seconds and act based on data rather than reactively.

BI2run - Datenautomatisierung

Integrated financial forecasting

Automates data aggregation between ERP, CRM, and BI systems for consistent P&L planning and eliminates manual process steps and data errors.

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.

A conventional rolling forecast describes the process of rolling planning, often based on manual estimates or linear extrapolations. Predictive analytics, on the other hand, is the technological method that uses machine learning and algorithms to recognize patterns in your data, incorporates external drivers, and thus enables a far more accurate artificial intelligence forecast.

No, it complements them. We work according to the principle of “explainable AI” (XAI). This means that the algorithm not only provides a finished target value, but also shows you transparently which drivers led to this result. The controller acts as a pilot (human-in-the-loop), validating the AI suggestions and making the final decision.

Security is a top priority in financial forecasting. Data processing takes place in encrypted, GDPR-compliant environments. We use your data exclusively for your specific models; your sensitive financial information is not used to train public AI models.

Quite the contrary. Our AI agents in controlling are team players. They integrate seamlessly into your existing world – whether you work with Excel, ERP systems, or IBM Planning Analytics. We don’t create a new construction site, but rather close the gaps between your tools.

We avoid lengthy large-scale IT projects. When introducing rolling forecasts, we start with a modular approach based on a specific use case, such as sales forecasting or liquidity planning. We usually achieve the first measurable results and a significant increase in forecast accuracy within a few weeks.

How can you master rolling forecasting with predictive analytics?

How predictive analytics takes your rolling forecast from guesswork to knowledge.

A classic forecast is often just a linear extrapolation of the past. By using predictive analytics in controlling, we identify complex patterns and causalities that remain hidden in standard reporting tools. This transforms your rolling forecast from a mere chore into a proactive navigation system that provides you with the necessary impetus for tomorrow, today.

Why should a reliable cash flow forecast not be a black box?

Transparency is the basis for trust. That’s why our models are based on Explainable AI (XAI). Every cash flow forecast is logically justified by the underlying drivers: “Change in liquidity due to optimized dunning and specific seasonal effects.” You always have the final say, in line with the “human-in-the-loop” principle.

Rolling Forecast Introduction: Scalable processes instead of large-scale IT projects.

Time is the most critical resource in controlling. That’s why we take a modular approach to rolling forecast implementation. We integrate AI-powered modules directly into your existing infrastructure (e.g., IBM Planning Analytics) and achieve measurable progress within weeks – without compromising your existing system landscape.

Artificial intelligence forecasting: The methodological target for your controlling

We don’t promise miracles, but rather a structured transformation of your planning logic. Our approach solves the typical pain points of manual planning with a clear technical concept:

  • The analysis: We integrate internal data sources with relevant external drivers.
    The methodology: A specialized algorithm recognizes trends and patterns faster than any manual spreadsheet.
  • The bridge: We connect the established world of IBM Planning Analytics with modern data science methods.
  • The goal: A measurable increase in forecast quality while simultaneously reducing manual effort significantly.
