Predictive Analytics Will Help Your Business Grow
Everyday your website will be collecting bags of data - information that you’ll probably only ever use a tiny amount of in order to check key performance indicators.
I-COM’s big data experts take all this information and statistically model what is likely to happen to your business, creating a baseline performance forecast that will help you with strategic decision making.
If you’re looking to build an investment business case, or perform due diligence on a revenue forecast, our predictive analytics solutions will help you understand how likely the projected outcome is.

What’s Involved in Predictive Analytics?
We access Google Analytics application programming interface (API) to collect several years of performance data from your site. We then forecast using an additive model where non-linear trends are fit with yearly, weekly, and daily seasonality, plus holiday effects. This approach works best with time-series data that has strong seasonal effects and several seasons of historical data, with that information to hand we can be fairly sure of our predictions.
The modelling we undertake is robust in handling missing data, shifts in the trend and allows for outliers that might otherwise be misleading.
Once we have a baseline model, we can overlay the impact strategic changes to your business will have on the three key online performance levers: traffic volumes, conversion rates and enquiry value. This allows us to predict online business growth.
