Prevedere collects and analyzes over 1.5 million global data series on economic conditions, manufacturing activity, consumer behavior, internet traffic and even weather data. According to CEO & Founder, Rich Wagner, “What is unique about Prevedere is our ability to leverage today’s In Memory technology to pair this global data with a company’s internal results and quickly find highly accurate leading indicators of demand for key products and services. We then use these results to forecast demand with greater accuracy than companies can do with internal data only.”
“Our solution provides real time and fact based answers on what is coming next and identifies opportunities for growth for all levels within the organization including finance, sales and marketing, risk, strategy and top executives,” says Wagner.
