Case Study: Apliqo achieves greater FP&A accuracy with IBM Planning Analytics

Helping to reduce risk by improving clarity

Apliqo, a Zürich-based FP&A software company, faced the challenge of helping organizations understand and forecast employee turnover and its impact on financial planning. Staff attrition can drive hidden costs in training, onboarding, compliance, and HR, making it harder to produce accurate forecasts and support executive decisions. Apliqo addressed this with its Workforce Attrition Model, built using IBM Planning Analytics and Python with TM1Py.

IBM helped Apliqo rapidly implement the solution by providing the planning platform and AI capabilities needed to analyze employee demographics, satisfaction, performance, and external labor market data. The result was a model that predicts attrition, highlights workforce risks, and generates more detailed cost forecasts for FP&A. Apliqo said it developed the first version in just a couple of days with IBM, enabling faster time to value and more informed budgeting, planning, and retention decisions.
