About the product

DT.Forecast is a software platform for building, managing and verifying forecasts based on interconnected calculation libraries and balance models. The product makes it possible to produce short-, medium- and long-term forecasts across an enterprise, industry or regional system of indicators, with a range of time resolutions — from seconds to years.

Learn more
DT.Forecast brings together data coming from DT.ETL and DT.Storage with balance and calculation models (DT.Balance), forming a reproducible and verifiable forecasting system.

Unlike scattered, one-off forecast calculations, the product provides:
  • Consistency of forecast series across indicators;
  • Automatic updating of forecasts when the source data changes;
  • Estimation of forecast accuracy and confidence intervals;
  • Storage of the calculation and scenario history.
DT.Forecast forms the predictive layer of the digital twin and serves as a management-analytics tool, allowing decisions to be made on the basis of quantitatively verifiable forecasts rather than expert judgement.

Challenges

01

Inability to quickly build scenario forecasts based on changing source data

02

No mechanism for automatically updating forecasts when new data arrives

03

Insufficient integration of forecasts with the management decision-making system

04

Fragmented models that are not tied together by a single system of indicators

05

Lack of tools for assessing forecast accuracy and reproducibility

Capabilities

Automated forecast generation
Uses data from DT.ETL and DT.Storage to build linked forecast series across the system of indicators.
Mathematical calculation libraries
Computes forecasts using regression models, time series, balance relationships and custom formulas.
Scenario modeling
Builds alternative scenarios as the controllable and external factors change, with the ability to compare results.
Monitoring and deviation alerts
Tracks the gaps between actual and forecast values and automatically records and visualizes deviations.
Accuracy and confidence-interval estimation
Calculates forecast errors, confidence intervals and uncertainty ranges for each indicator.
Forecast verification and versioning
Stores the history of forecasts, model parameters and changes to the calculation algorithms to keep results reproducible.
Extensible system of indicators
Supports adding new indicators, dependencies and forecasting equations.

Methodology

The methodological basis of DT.Forecast is building a system of interconnected forecasting models, tied together through the balance structure of the data. The product ensures transparency of forecasting, the ability to analyze model sensitivity and to prepare stress scenarios. DT.Forecast serves as a management-analytics tool that allows managers to make decisions on the basis of quantitatively verifiable forecasts. The methodology for building a forecasting model includes several stages:

Defining the set of forecast indicators
Defining the set of forecast indicators
A list of indicators and their sources is compiled.
Building the relationship equations
Building the relationship equations
Endogenous, exogenous, controllable and uncontrollable indicators are identified, along with the dependencies between them.
Building inertial and custom forecasts
Building inertial and custom forecasts
Baseline forecasts and custom scenarios with defined parameters are produced.
Refining forecasts with new data
Refining forecasts with new data
Forecasts are recalculated automatically when updated data arrives through DT.ETL.
Forecast verification and confidence intervals
Forecast verification and confidence intervals
Forecast accuracy is assessed, and confidence intervals and deviation ranges are calculated.
Storing forecasts in the data warehouse
Storing forecasts in the data warehouse
Results are stored for subsequent analysis and visualization.
