Founder story

Frans Andersen

Frans Andersen
Co-Founder & CEO

Fifteen years ago, I was tasked with evaluating the accuracy of commodity price forecasts at Scania. At the time, their approach was quite simple; they gathered forecasts from suppliers and combined them with third-party forecasts.

To assess performance, I benchmarked their forecasting accuracy against both “forecasting experts” and basic statistical models. The outcome was eye-opening: a simple statistical model outperformed all the others.

With this insight, the purchasing team set out to find a forecasting platform that could apply such models. However, every solution on the market required deep statistical expertise and wasn’t designed to scale across multiple models or forecasts.

That’s when I teamed up with David and Daniel to build Indicio.

Today, our technology is trusted by organizations worldwide. With applications in manufacturing, consumer goods, banking, funds, construction, research institutes, and consultancy firms, to name a few. They all recognize accuracy as a key priority.

Over the past three years, our revenue has increased by more than 80% per year.

Frequently asked questions

What is Indicio and what problems do you help companies solve?

Indicio is a forecasting and scenario planning platform. We help companies incorporate market and economic data into their internal forecasts, so they can plan inventory, capacity, budgets and strategy with less guesswork and more transparency, speed and control.

How is Indicio’s forecasting approach different from traditional planning tools?

Traditional planning tools rely heavily on univariate time-series forecasting models such as exponential smoothing, ARIMA, or Prophet. Indicio makes it easy to apply multivariate forecasting models, incorporating external factors such as market, economic, and consumer development, by automating model building and variable selection, running large-scale backtests, and giving transparent driver explainability, for faster, more accurate and transparent forecasts.

Which industries and use cases does Indicio typically work with?

Indicio works across a wide range of industries, including retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, consumer goods, energy, and financial services. Typical use cases include demand, market, and sales forecasting, used for resource and capacity planning, and scenario planning for budgets and strategic decisions.

How does Indicio integrate with our existing data and BI stack?

Indicio can ingest data from internal databases, files and data lakes, as well as common data vendors. Forecasts are delivered via API, scheduled exports and direct connectors so you can surface them in your BI tools, dashboards or broader data stack.

What does a typical Indicio implementation and onboarding journey look like?

A typical journey starts with a short discovery to build a couple of forecasts together and benchmark the accuracy against the current forecasting method, followed by data onboarding, where we connect to your sources and set up pipelines.

We then fine-tune models, run backtests and validate results with your team before rolling out forecasts into your BI tools or workflows. Along the way you get training, documentation and ongoing support so you can operate and expand the solution confidently.
