Better decisions, by design.

There's a lot of buzz around the cloud. So much, in fact, that it seems all of a sudden many traditional software vendors have discovered they have "cloud-based" solutions. Look closely, however, and many of them are truly "clouds" - as in vapor. At Predictix, we have invested years in designing and building our solutions from the ground up for the cloud. Our clients can immediately tell the difference, in 30-50% better forecasts, in pricing decisions delivered in seconds, in better results for their business.

Putting old applications on the cloud =
old applications on the cloud

Many vendors are touting how their solutions are now available "on the cloud." And in one sense they are absolutely right. If the cloud is seen simply as a delivery vehicle, then certainly many applications can be hosted on the cloud. The advantages of cloud delivery are obvious; put an existing application on the cloud, and you no longer need to purchase the hardware it runs on. Make that application accessible from the cloud, and you (sort of) get a version of the “anytime, anywhere” access users have become accustomed to on the web.

Simply putting an existing application on the cloud, however, does not make that application any different or any better. Its performance is no better, and its results are no better. Being “on the cloud” is a step, but not a leap; delivering old applications on the cloud will never yield transformational value. The cloud’s true impact can only be felt when solutions are envisioned and delivered that are “of the cloud.”

Designing solutions to use the true power of the cloud

When you design forecasting and pricing solutions for the cloud, you can truly leverage the power of the cloud. How? Because the cloud offers unlimited, inexpensive, on-demand computing power, you can afford to call on far more computing power, exactly when you need it, and run analyses that would never be practical or even feasible on purchased hardware. By applying much more sophisticated science, and calling up far more computing resources on the fly, you can solve for the best answer, and if needed, get that answer in seconds.

Our clients' results speak for themselves

In our own experience, we have consistently achieved 30-50 percent more accurate forecasts and delivered real-time pricing answers in seconds for our clients – much better results than are possible with traditional solutions. Those better results drive real business benefits: higher sales, higher margins, fewer stock-outs, better performing inventory, lower inventory investments with higher service levels, faster decisions, and higher customer satisfaction.
