Our Story
Born of Necessity
Volatility is the enemy of demand planning, with business leaders often lacking any predictability into WHY they are seeing fluctuations in demand and WHEN this will happen again. When it comes to understanding how real-world events impact demand, most business leaders simply don't know what they don't know.
Our co-founders, Campbell Brown, Mike Ballantyne, and Robert Kern, learned this firsthand, joining forces to solve the challenge of predicting demand surges Campbell and Mike were experiencing at their global travel company.
They found there was no solution to help them predict future demand surges. Aggregating APIs, scraping websites and manually entering data lacked the required quality, intelligence and infrastructure to solve this problem at scale. They knew artificial intelligence was the answer, but there was something missing from the many new and unproven “solutions” and the existing tools that were suddenly “smarter.”
Predictive Demand Intelligence
The missing enabler to AI-driven demand planning was an always-on intelligence engine—not just basic event data, but a trusted source of INSIGHTS into how and why local events impact demand.
This was the genesis of Predictive Demand Intelligence—and the start of PredictHQ. Tested and proven within Campbell and Mike's global travel company, Predictive Demand Intelligence unlocked $1.2M in value within their first year of using it.
Building from that early success, PredictHQ combines data with superior AI models to deliver unique and powerful API's which can be integrated to improve anything from simple pricing calendars to some of the most complex demand forecasts—making it easy for any business to navigate volatility and see into the future with Predictive Demand Intelligence.
Forged in the Land of the Long White Cloud
