In today's world, chances are that you already are on the digital transformation journey. Even as digital investments continue, most CXOs still feel that the decision support engines are far from running at the speed and effectiveness that the best-in-class digital natives have been able to demonstrate.
There is clearly a need to redefine how organizations need to think of Analytics: hyper-personalization is required to attract and retain customers; AI/ML needs to be engineered to scale; rapid experimentation needs to become the de-facto approach for making product and service design choices.
Incedo brings a deep understanding of data science with data science consulting to help clients truly scale analytics and derive value from their digital investments.

Incedo's supply chain analytics capabilities focus on solving key problems in this space including demand/supply forecasting, inventory planning, logistics optimization, etc. using AI/ML and Technology approaches pioneered by e-commerce companies
Incedo specializes in helping organizations build next generation customer service by leveraging some of the key learnings from digital natives who approach customer service very differently. In particular:
- Start with a “no customer service” motto - need for Customer Service indicates broken product/process which need to be fixed at source
- Business processes need to be aligned better to customer needs
- AI and Tech need to be at the heart of everything
Incedo helps clients build world class customer service through 5 key initiatives:
- Voice of Customer - Use NLP + AI to extract insights from unstructured VOC data. Drive priorities from VOC
- Fix at Source - Use Predictive Models to prevent occurrences and Drive cross - functional approach to fix root causes
- Personalize Channel mix - Use micro-segments and propensity models to design channel mix. Build Resolution Rate guardrails
- Automate Service - Build out Self-Serve and Machine-Serve as predominant channel. Design chatbots from customer’s point of view
- Deploy Flexible Cloud based architecture - Build micro services based architecture to meet evolving customer needs
Success Story
We helped in service assurance by building predictive network device maintenance models for a Telco’s wifi services.
We developed a demand sensing solution for a large Life Sciences major which consisted an ML based forecasting engine and a what-if scenario planner. This enabled better planning for channel inventories and contributing to maintaining high service levels.
Risk Analytics
We specialize in two areas of Risk Analytics - Credit Risk Modeling & Analytics and Operational Risk & Fraud Analytics. Drawing upon our experience from fintech and e-commerce companies, we have developed an Enterprise Model Performance Monitoring (eMPM) framework that leverages a portfolio of ML models that help implement an ROI based risk management approach to effectively balance customer experience and risk minimization.
Enterprise Model Performance Monitoring (eMPM) Framework
With critical business decisions driven by AI/ML models, ongoing monitoring of models is critical to proactively evaluate whether internal factors (e.g. product changes) and external factors (e.g. changes in regulatory frameworks) call for the redevelopment or adjustment of models. Our eMPM tool lets you test and compare analytical models, generate necessary benchmarks and take decisions on adjustments, redevelopment or replacement.
Success Story
We implemented an enterprise model monitoring framework for a banking client, covering marketing, risk and operations analytics models to monitor and proactively flag model risk along multiple dimensions. The framework has been adopted as a core audit component by the Bank's enterprise risk team.
