Automated Forecast Data Processing & Validation
Client Challenge
A Fortune 500 enterprise struggled with standardizing and automating production forecast data. While they stored extensive parametric forecast data, there was no structured process to extract key parameters and generate daily production forecasts. Multiple forecasting methodologies required manual calculations, system handoffs, and varied interpretations, leading to inconsistencies and inefficiencies. The absence of automation created bottlenecks, limiting the company’s ability to make timely, data-driven decisions.
Solution
Bear Cognition developed an automated data processing and visualization framework to streamline forecast extraction, analysis, and reporting. We built a scalable data processing pipeline to handle large-scale computations efficiently, ensuring fast and accurate forecast generation. A dynamic Power BI dashboard provided real-time visibility, enabling teams to compare actual vs. forecasted production, identify anomalies, and leverage predictive modeling for proactive decision-making. Additionally, we implemented automation and scheduling to standardize daily data updates, error handling, and logging, ensuring consistent forecast accuracy and accessibility.
Results
The solution fully automated forecast generation, significantly reducing manual effort while improving data accuracy and accessibility. By creating a structured, system-agnostic data source, the client achieved consistent, reliable production forecasts that supported better operational planning and resource allocation. Real-time Power BI visualizations empowered leadership to adjust production strategies within seconds, eliminating delays that previously took hours or even days.
