F&A Forecasting has, through Indicio, built a very interesting platform that is well in line with the automation of data-processing and forecasting that Prognoscentret AB wishes to get help with. The platform provides great possibilities to understand the dynamics between ”hard” and ”soft” data and adds the possibility to evaluate which type of modeling is particularly useful with shorter forecast-horizons
Joel Jönsson, Market AnalystPrognoscentret AB
We have chosen to engage in the development of Indicio because we see a big potential in the platforms ability to radically simplify the generation of advanced forecasts at the same time as the user gets access to methods that cannot be applied in platforms currently available on the market.
