about us
W Analytics was founded based on our drive to help our clients understand their business like never before and to deliver innovative machine learning solutions. Our data scientists use the most advanced tools and methodologies available to transform your data into actionable insights and to answer any business question. We will help your organization move from always looking backwards with reports and dashboards... only analyzing what happened in the past. True power lies with moving from hindsight to using foresight. With our vast experience in helping organizations across every sector innovate and grow, we will leverage this experience to give you a competitive advantage.
True data science goes far beyond tools and technology. Yes, to get the impact modern companies are looking for requires data science practitioners that can quickly understand your business and translate business questions into solutions. This also requires having a deep understanding of both business strategy and the art of effectively communicating with all levels of an organization.
That is what we at W Analytics see as our competitive advantage, and we look to bring this advantage to our clients. We specialize in all things machine learning and can help you to incorporate real-time scoring and artificial intelligence into nearly any process in your business.
Our Services
Data is the new natural resource. It must been seen and used as an asset and not an outcome of business operations. Just like oil or water, for the benefits of these two major natural resources to be leveraged, work is involved. Oil must be pulled out of the ground and processed before it becomes powerful. Likewise, water must be harnessed or processed for the benefits to be realized. Data must be collected and mined for powerful insights to be generated. The goal of any data mining or analytical process should be to produce insights and not just more data! This requires being able to tell a story with the data and to make the insights actionable.
PRedictive analytics
This area of machine learning can truly be a game changer. Anything you have historical data for can be predicted. Whether you are looking to predict which customers will leave, which employees are likely to turnover, what machines are likely to fail and when, which customers are likely to have warranty claims, or which branches are likely to be robbed. The power of today's most advanced algorithms enable us to harness the data and turn the historical data into a window into the future. This new level of insight will enable real time predictions that will allow you to change future outcomes. Unsupervised neural networks, advanced boosted ensembles, random forest, exhaustive chaid, and anomaly detection are just some of the algorithms we leverage to ring the maximum power out of your data. Unlike humans that can only take a few inputs into account for any decision, our advanced algorithms allow hundreds of input variables to be processed and mined to determine which inputs are most predictive of any outcome. GAME CHANGER!
Advanced forecasting
Traditional forecasting in 99% of organizations consists of some form of spreadsheet methodology that has been developed over time. Humans have to take data and try to use some set of historical knowledge to project future outcomes. The most advanced forecasting algorithms such as time series forecasting allow us to build models that can produce individual forecasts on hundreds or thousands of individual items at the same time. These forecasting algorithms also allow a much tighter and accurate model to be generated because each individual time series or item will have the best algorithm fit for that specific dataset. Since these are machine learning models, they will learn and retrain based on each new datapoint. By being able to have a much higher level of precision in forecasting you will be able to make much better informed decisions. This is truly a competitive advantage that can save millions of dollars and add profit to the bottom line.
Text Analytics
We have a deep expertise in the art of NLP (Natural Language Processing) or Text Analytics. 80% of the data being generated throughout the world today is unstructured, and the majority is text. Whether you look to turn customer comments into insights, use this form of artificial intelligence to digest and predict behavior based on comments, or if you want to understand employee sentiment on the most recent engagement survey, we can help. Anything that is in unstructured text can be processed using text analytics to produce a unique level of insights and context that is generally missing from your structured data. Our expertise in turning unstructured text into actionable insights is world class.
Advanced Analytics Strategy Consulting
As data continues to proliferate companies continue to fall behind in getting insights out of this new data. Even the smartest employees will struggle to know what to do with this data simply because they have not been exposed to what is possible. We can help you to develop a short and longterm strategy that will enable you to build a best in class data driven culture.
Some of our innovative use cases
Bank Vault Advanced Forecast Modeling
Reduced vault inventory by 56% and $150Million. Runs 800 individual denomination/vault level forecasts for orders and 700 for deposits to produce precise forecasts.
weather predictive model
Built a weather predictive model that enabled an organization to move catastrophe teams strategically to better serve customers and meet demand.
Bank Robbery Predictive insights
Leverage multiple sources of crime data and statistics to risk rank branches and predict which ones are likely to have a robbery.
check fraud mitigation/predictive model
Created a account level behavioral model that leverages hundreds of millions of check items and RFM analysis, Unsupervised Neural Networks, Chaid decision trees and anomaly detection to predict accounts likely to experience fraud.
work force Management forecast
Advanced forecast model that increased forecast accuracy by more than 55% and enabled the organization to steamline resource planning and save millions.
Nps customer predictive insights
Took millions of customer transactions and operations data to predict which customers are likely to be detractors or experience warranty claims. Gave the organization the ability to score future customers at the first interaction and mitigate the risk of them becoming a detractor or having a warranty claim.
