You might benefit from Predictive Analytics Platform for Retail if:
- You need: ML platform (DataRobot, H2O.ai, Databricks AutoML, or AWS SageMaker)
- You need: MLflow or similar for model lifecycle management
- You need: Model serving infrastructure (SageMaker, Vertex AI, or Seldon)
- You want to achieve: Achieve model accuracy of over 85%
- You want to achieve: Reduce time to insight to less than 24 hours
This may not be right for you if:
- Watch out for: Data silos across different systems
- Watch out for: Resistance to change from employees
- Watch out for: Poor data quality affecting model performance
- Long implementation timeline - requires sustained commitment
