How we help.

We help you define, prototype, develop, deploy and manage advanced analytic models that can be trained to continually improve accuracy, relevance and quality. Here’s some of the typical customer challenges and opportunities we see.

DataScience - Element - KeyMetrics

We need to get more scientific about forecasting our key business metrics.

False

DataScience - Element - Customers

We want to understand our customer profiles better so we can have more targeted conversations.

Brand

False

DataScience - Element - Pricing

We need to optimise our pricing strategy to maximise revenue (and/ or other KPIs).

False

DataScience - Element - Manual

Our paperwork processing is too time-consuming, manual and repetitive. We need to automate.

False

DataScience - Element - Migration

False

DataScience - Element - Profile

We need to raise the profile of data science in our business with roadmaps, internal stakeholder engagement & technical guidance.

False

DataScience - Element - Resources

We need data science resources to help deliver projects due to lack of skills and/or capacity.

False

DataScience - Element - Production

We have previously developed models but they need to be productionised to improve and generate value over time.

Heathrow Airport

Forecasting airport baggage flows.

As Europe’s busiest airport, Heathrow safely carries hundreds of thousands of passengers through its terminals and onto their flights every day. Its busiest terminal, T5, carries over 30 million passengers each year, so even small advancements in planning and passenger efficiency can have enormous impact on total capacity for the airport as a whole.

We helped Heathrow to build a predictive modelling forecast for future baggage handling requirements based on historical patterns and future flight schedules, including the impact of unplanned events and variants such as weather and air traffic control issues system problems.
