Overview

Predictive analytics is more than just forecasting, it’s about turning raw data into forward-looking intelligence across sales, finance, operations, and more. But most enterprise teams are still stuck rebuilding infrastructure, wrangling tools, or locked into platforms that can’t keep up with AI innovation.

Cake offers a composable, cloud-agnostic stack for predictive modeling and forecasting. Whether you’re building time-series models to predict demand or supervised models for churn and conversion, Cake gives you the flexibility to choose the best tools, integrate the latest methods, and deploy models wherever you need them.

And because Cake runs on open-source components, you reduce licensing and infrastructure costs while staying on the cutting edge of what the AI ecosystem has to offer.

Key benefits

  • Accelerate predictive workflows: Build and deploy models faster with pre-integrated, modular tools.

  • Reduce costs and vendor dependency: void managed platform markups with full control over your stack.

  • Adapt to your domain: Choose the right frameworks and modeling strategies for each problem.

  • Deploy anywhere: Run models across cloud, hybrid, or edge environments.

  • Monitor, retrain, and stay compliant: Track model performance and meet enterprise standards for governance and security.

THE CAKE DIFFERENCE

From reporting the past to
forecasting what’s next

 

vendor-approach-icon

Static dashboards & heuristics

Descriptive tools pretending to be predictive: Legacy BI tools show you what happened, but can’t tell you what will.

  • Hardcoded thresholds and rules based on historical trends
  • No statistical modeling or uncertainty estimation
  • Manual workflows and disconnected data pipelines
  • No way to evaluate accuracy or automate decisions

Result:

Backward-looking insights that don’t drive future action
