Kaizen Analytix LLC, a provider of data, analytics and technology solutions, introduced its Anomaly Detection Engine that searches through all segments of a company’s data to identify outliers that can lead to fraud, customer churn, revenue leakage and other issues that impact profits.
Kaizen’s Anomaly Detection Engine, the latest offering in the KaizenInsights suite, automates the delivery of powerful but hidden insights, without decision-makers having to sift through dashboards, reports, spreadsheets and unstructured data sources.
“Companies today deal with extremely large volumes of data generated from multiple sources, so it’s quite difficult for them to quickly find outliers hidden at a granular level – most of which result in real profit leakage,” said Krishna Arangode, CEO at Kaizen Analytix. “Our new Anomaly Detection Engine combs through all possible permutations of your data to identify and quantify anomalies in your operations, allowing for immediate identification of issues and value to be preserved.”
Examples of data anomalies that the Engine can detect:
- Procurement spend
- Margin compression
- Customer acquisition
- Customer churn
- Transit times
- Equipment / machine downtime
- Internal systems activity (system logins/access, downloads/uploads, browsing activity)
- Other anomalies specific to business need
The KaizenInsights Anomaly Detection Engine is beneficial for companies across a spectrum of industries and different operational applications. The solution’s functions include:
- Searching through data to identify anomalies based on combinations of segments, defined baselines and key metrics
- Applying multiple proprietary anomaly detection algorithms to establish Anomaly Scores
- Quantifying the importance, “business as usual” baseline, and deviation from baseline associated with each anomaly
- Summarizing anomalies in an intuitive presentation layer
Kaizen customers realize tangible benefits with the solution. A telecommunications provider used the engine to detect customer acquisition and retention issues, resulting in a 10 percent reduction in controllable churn and more than $20 million in revenue opportunities. Additionally, a global contract manufacturer used it to uncover procurement fraud in its China region, which led to an estimated 2- to 5 percent savings in manufacturing spending.
The Anomaly Detection Engine is offered as a subscription and includes white-glove, dedicated support and services for solution configuration and deployment.
