Getting started¶
This guide walks a new customer from sign-up to a completed forecast run.
1. Create an account¶
- Go to your AccuPredix URL (e.g.
https://app.accupredix.com/register). - Register with email/password, or sign in with Google / Microsoft if enabled.
- Verify your email when prompted.
2. Create an organization¶
On first login you enter onboarding:
- Organization name — your company or team name.
- Industry — selects default external indicators and benchmark context.
- Data region — where tenant data is stored (EU by default).
You can create additional organizations later from the org switcher (top bar → + New organization).
3. Add a workspace¶
A workspace holds one forecasting domain (e.g. a product line or business unit).
- Open Workspaces in the sidebar.
- Click New workspace and give it a name and key.
- Each workspace has its own uploads, runs, and settings.
Freemium limit
Freemium plans include one workspace. Upgrade on Billing if you need more.
4. Upload data¶
You need order-line history before forecasting. See the full Upload data guide.
Minimum columns: customer_id, product_id, order_date, ordered_qty.
- In the workspace, open Upload.
- Choose CSV or Excel matching the canonical template.
- Wait for validation and the data readiness scorecard.
- Fix blockers (missing columns, stale data) before running.
Alternatively, connect a data connector (Growth+) to sync orders from Shopify, QuickBooks, Xero, or an ERP — see Integrations.
5. Run a forecast¶
- When readiness is green or amber, click Run forecast.
- The run queues immediately (async in production; often instant in dev).
- Open the run from Recent runs or the workspace run list.
- Status moves through
queued→running→completed.
Monthly run quota
Each plan includes a monthly forecast-run limit. Check Usage & health
(/usage, admin only) or Billing for consumption.
6. Read the dashboard¶
After completion:
- Open Dashboard for portfolio KPIs — accuracy score, demand shifts, data quality.
- Open the run detail page for charts, series table, exports, and overrides.
- Configure Notifications for email when runs finish or fail.
