Data and Analytics

Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics That Drive Decisions, Not Just Reports.

Candent builds the models that tell your business what will happen next, and what to do about it, on top of SAP and leading cloud data platforms.

Our Capabilities

Predictive and Prescriptive Models Built for Enterprise Operations.

Predictive Modeling

Statistical and machine learning models that forecast demand, predict failures, score risk, and surface anomalies before they become incidents.

Prescriptive Analytics

Optimization models that recommend the best action given constraints — production sequencing, inventory positioning, pricing, and resource allocation.

SAP Embedded Analytics

Analytics built inside SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Datasphere, with live or replicated data from S/4HANA. No data duplication, no disconnected BI layer.

Third-Party Platform Integration

: Models deployed on Databricks, BigQuery, and Snowflake and connected to SAP and operational systems through governed data pipelines.

MLOps and Model Governance

Model monitoring, retraining pipelines, and drift detection so your models stay accurate as business conditions change.

Analytics CoE Setup

Governance framework, tooling, team structure, and KPIs for organizations building a permanent analytics capability internally.

Where the Models Run

Applied Across the Functions That Drive Enterprise Performance.

Candent’s advanced analytics programs cover the scenarios where prediction and optimization produce measurable operational impact:

Supply chain

demand forecasting, lead time prediction, safety stock optimization, and supplier risk scoring

Manufacturing

predictive maintenance, OEE forecasting, quality failure prediction, and production scheduling optimization

Finance

cash flow forecasting, working capital optimization, credit risk scoring, and anomaly detection for audit

Procurement

spend analytics, contract compliance scoring, and supplier performance prediction

Sales and customer

churn prediction, next-best-action recommendation, and pipeline conversion scoring

HR and workforce

attrition risk modeling and workforce demand forecasting

Analytics and Autonomous Enterprise

Predictive Models Are the Foundation of Autonomous Operations.

Agentic AI and intelligent process automation depend on a signal layer that tells the system what to act on. Without predictive and prescriptive models underneath, automation executes against lagging indicators. Candent integrates advanced analytics into the autonomous enterprise architecture. Demand signals feed planning agents. Risk scores trigger procurement workflows. Anomaly detection surfaces exceptions before they require manual intervention. The result is an SAP landscape that does not wait for a human to read the dashboard. It acts on the model.

Why Candent for Advanced Analytics

Models That Run in Your Architecture

Most analytics engagements produce a model. Fewer produce a model still running accurately twelve months later, integrated into the systems and decisions it was designed to improve. Here is how Candent addresses that from the start.

Data quality before modeling

We assess and remediate the data layer before building models. A prediction is only as reliable as its training data.

SAP-native where it makes sense

Models embedded in SAP Analytics Cloud and Datasphere eliminate the maintenance overhead of a disconnected analytics layer.

MLOps built in

We design model monitoring and retraining into the engagement from day one, not as a phase two afterthought.

Business stakeholder alignment

Models are designed around decisions, not metrics. Each model has a named business outcome and a defined integration point in the process.

Full-stack delivery

The same team handles data engineering, model development, platform configuration, and SAP integration. No handoffs between firms.

The people running your CoE are the same people who would design your next phase of work. That continuity matters.

Often Used Alongside

Advanced Analytics Works Across the Data and SAP Practice.

Many clients combine CoE-as-a-Service with Candent’s SAP AMS practice. Incident and change management handled by AMS, with CoE providing architecture oversight, roadmap governance, and structured improvement. Others bring in CoE-as-a-Service independently when they have a capable support team but lack senior SAP architecture and governance capacity.

Your Data Has More to Say Than Your Current Reports Are Showing.

The right conversation starts with your data landscape, your decisions, and what you need to predict.
