Artificial intelligence
Calculum is offering a secure, cloud-based data intelligence platform. We call her ADA. ADA uses rules-based logic to collate, process, analyze, predict and visualize financial supply chain data from multiple internal and external sources. And layers on multiple different factors to predict and estimate payment terms, analyze working capital metrics and margins between suppliers and buyers.
The analysis of payment terms is based on years of development including research conducted by the team and academics from leading universities.

Instead of predicting payment terms by comparing the same companies, Calculum is applying an attribute and pattern-based approach.
All companies are anonymized and analyzed based on their key attributes and trading patterns. This allows comparing similar companies with the same features creating millions of different combinations. By using only attributes and patterns rather than company names, Calculum also ensures data privacy.
