Such project is generally composed of 2 phases that are iterated many times: creating the predictive model and assessing the predictive model using many charts. Once you have a predictive model, you can use it to make different simulations. Each simulation test for a different ways of investing your wallet inside different media’s. At the end, using the simulator, you are able to find the investments that generates the highest ROI for you.

Data transformation

Here is a screenshot of the data transformation required to create the predictive models with Anatella.

Automatic reporting

Once you have a model, Anatela automatically create a powerpoint report based on the results of the predictive models.

Some results

Here are some results generated by Anatella based on the above data-transformation. The second chart explains the effect of each group of variables inside the model. The variables are grouped into 3 themes: the external drivers such as temperature, humidity, etc (in green); the investments in ads from competitors (in grey), your own investments in ads (in red). The blue layer is the base: it’s the recurrent quantity of sales if there is is no investments in ads from anybody.

Deep insights

The first graph hereunder gives you have an idea on the contribution of each group/theme of variables. You can also “zoom-in” and display the effect of the variables that are only inside the theme “Variables describing investments in ads from competitors”. You can see that, amongst your own investments, the investment that is working the best is “Promo”: in the case of Cofidis, the “Promo” are actually the investments to have “cofidis” banner during sport events: indeed Cofidis is sponsoring The “Codifis Cup”: a very popular football cup in Belgium and The “Cofidis Team” the famous bike team.
