Predikt makes AI platform for financial forecasting internationally accessible with integrator Keyrus
Partnership links potential of technology with international network and experience
Leuven, 19 February 2025 - Belgian-Swiss scale-up Predikt, which specializes in AI-driven solutions for financial forecasting, has signed a strategic partnership with Keyrus, a global consultancy that develops data and digital solutions for performance management. Together, the partners aim to help companies worldwide get a better grip on their financial data for realistic financial forecasts.
While companies often have large amounts of internal data to make financial forecasts, they often lack sophisticated tools to effectively exploit that data. Current solutions are typically limited to internal datasets, are difficult to implement and offer little transparency due to ‘black box’ effects. Predikt breaks through these limitations with an innovative platform that automatically collects and analyses more than 10 million external indicators, such as global commodity prices, consumer behaviour and inflation. The tool enriches financial forecasts with real-time macroeconomic signals, allowing CFOs to act with greater certainty and confidence, even in the current markets characterised by supply chain disruptions, geopolitical uncertainties and rising commodity prices.
Technology and consultancy
By joining forces with Keyrus, which continuously anticipates new ways of solving problems by deploying new and innovative technologies at its clients, Predikt aims to make the potential of its solution more widely accessible. Together, the partners aim to support their clients develop proactive, data-driven strategies and realistic financial forecasts.
Keyrus, with decades of experience in guiding multinationals through their digital transition, offers an ideal complement to Predikts technology. “The opportunities for predictive analytics have never been greater thanks to the exponential increase in data usage. Yet, as a consultancy firm, we find that a lot of companies continue to struggle with its implementation,” testifies Nicolas Camerman, CEO of Keyrus Global EPM Practice. “Some companies are stuck in a straitjacket and feel inhibited in what they want and can do with their data. Moreover, there are a lot of systems on the market that are complex, slow and hard to truly comprehend, hindering companies from working in a truly data-driven way. Through this partnership with Predikt, we want to offer our clients access to the powerful combination of their technology and our proven ability to optimally integrate it into their operations.”
“Keyrus' extensive presence within multinationals allows us to implement our technology quickly and efficiently. Our collaboration allows to unlock immediate value from their data and make data-driven decision-making, without lengthy implementation processes. In addition, Keyrus‘ in-depth knowledge of business processes and existing IT systems ensures that Predikt can be effortlessly integrated into existing operational workflows,” says Nick Vandesype, CEO of Predikt.
Global expansion
With an international focus and a broad network in Europe, the US and Southeast Asia, Keyrus will play a crucial role in Predikt's global expansion. While the scale-up continues to focus on the development of their AI platform, Keyrus acts as integrator and trusted advisor to customers worldwide.
“Companies such as Keyrus play a crucial role because, as integrators, they have a particularly good understanding of which technology has the most impact for businesses and the expertise to integrate it sustainably. Keyrus also offers a strong international network that will help us grow globally without neglecting the continued development of the platform,” says Vandesype.
Training
The cooperation has now started with joint projects for international clients. This includes not only the implementation of the technology, but also the development of comprehensive training programmes and the support in data quality, change management and process optimisation. Keyrus facilitates adoption with tailor-made learning platforms, training videos and structured communication plans, enabling companies to make optimal use of Predikt and leverage the full added value of the technology.
