CrowdPredictions utilizes Crowdcast’s Social Business Intelligence solution to get real-time and true insight of your business. Crowdcast provides decision support by tapping into the collective intelligence of your employees, channel partners and customers.

Why use it?

There are various ways of applying Social Business Intelligence in your organization, for example:

1. •Project Management - discover in real-time which milestones are at risk, or which are right on track
   

2. •Strategy and Risk Management - provide an early warning system for potential risks in your organization
   

3. •Sales and Operations Planning - get a better grip on critical information, early adjustments and other factors that are so important for S&OP
   

Easy to Use

The basic working principle is:

1. •You set up the questions that you’d like to have answered, such as ‘How many high quality furniture units will be sold in our region in Jan 2010?’, or ‘When will phase 1 of our project end?’.
   

2. •You encourage your employees and even your distributors/dealers or customers to bet on the outcome
   

3. •Crowdcast aggregates the answers from the "crowd" and provides you with an accurate answer much earlier than any other method.
   

Crowdcast is a web-based solution, provided as a service, thus there is no need for the hassle of installations or other tech support.
