Smarten - Augmented Analytics & Modern BI Tool

08/05/2026

The problem with demand planning isn’t bad predictions.

It’s that even good predictions don’t stay good for long.

You plan based on what you know.
But customers don’t follow your plan.

They shift faster than your forecasts update.

And suddenly:

The product you expected to move is sitting idle
The one you didn’t expect is running out
Teams are adjusting after the impact is already visible

It feels like a forecasting issue, but it’s really a timing issue.

Because most systems tell you what changed… after it has already changed.

What would planning look like if it kept adjusting as signals moved, not after?

This gets into that idea in a practical way:

Predictive Analytics Using External Data Use Case: Analyze the External Factors that Affect Your Business Results

https://www.smarten.com/augmented-analytics-learn-explore/use-cases/predictive-analytics-external-data.html

Whether your business is construction, infrastructure, government, highway or toll management, agriculture, travel, consumer goods, city planning or any one of dozens of other industries, your success in business may depend on external factors, e.g., weather, GDP, or other macro factors out of your control. When these factors affect the success of the organization, the enterprise must consider these issues in its planning process. Advanced analytics can help the organization merge internal data and external data to look at weather, projected rainfall, the GDP for a region and other external factors. Find out how your business can use external data to analyze, plan and predict results.

If analytics is still optional in your product, your product might be too.

Sounds a bit harsh, but this is where things are heading for ISVs.

Your users aren’t logging in to “check reports.”

They’re running operations.
Managing pipelines.
Tracking performance.
Making decisions in real time.

And they expect the product to support those decisions while they’re working - not after, not somewhere else.

When insights don’t show up in that moment,
users notice the gap immediately.

That’s when analytics stops feeling like a feature you added…

and starts becoming something they depend on.

And once users depend on it, the role of analytics changes.

It’s no longer a layer.
It’s part of the system itself - built into workflows, shaping actions, driving outcomes.

That’s the shift from feature to infrastructure.

If you’re building for users who rely on your product every day, this is worth thinking about! https://www.smarten.com/blog/when-analytics-becomes-infrastructure-the-new-reality-for-mature-isvs/

Clickless Analytics leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) with intuitive search analytics and a user-friendly approach.

This familiar Google-style search solution provides tools to search for answers with insight and context including synonyms, phonetics and abbreviation.

Enter a question, such as ‘Who sold the most fruit juice in Seatle, Washington in Christmas of 2018’. The system will recognize and process information correcting for spelling errors, e.g., ‘Seatle’ instead of ‘Seattle’. Ask, ‘Who sold the most fruit juice in Seattle, WA’, and the system will recognize and process the question using an abbreviation, e.g., ‘WA’ instead of ‘Washington’.

Cloud-first works.
Until your buyer isn’t cloud-only.

Many ISVs hit friction late in the sales cycle - not because of the product, but because of deployment constraints.

We explored why this keeps happening → https://www.smarten.com/blog/cloud-only-analytics-is-quietly-blocking-enterprise-deals/

In many ISV products, the gap isn’t data.
It’s everything that comes after.

Selecting columns.
Choosing techniques.
Figuring out how to analyze.

That’s where users slow down.

Or stop.

Smarten Auto Insights changes that.

No column selection.
No Influencer analytics.
No Algorithm Selection

Users simply select the dataset.

And the system:

– understands the data
– determines the most imortant columns
– auto selects best fit algorithm
– presents insights in clear, natural language

Completely automatic.

Which means users spend less time setting up analysis
and more time using it.

If your product already surfaces data,
it’s worth asking how easily users can turn it into insight.
