Rev Motors & Insightful Analytics
About the Customer:
Formerly known as CarFinder, Rev Motors is a technology firm focused on the automotive sector in the UK, providing comprehensive digital vehicle management services. They offer drivers essential reminders related to vehicle tax, insurance, and recalls based on their vehicle registration.
The Story:
Rev Motors generates leads for various automotive businesses and facilitates options for booking test drives and trading cars. However, they struggled to anticipate which users were likely to switch vehicles until after the decision had been made. To address this, they turned to the Artificial Intelligence System (AIS) from Insightful Analytics, an APN Advanced Consulting Partner, to consolidate user data from their web and marketing platforms.
Insightful Analytics employed “Categorical Machine Learning models” to simultaneously process both categorical and variable data, allowing for predictions regarding user vehicle changes. Utilizing AWS services like Amazon SageMaker for real-time data ingestion, modeling, and output, they could effectively analyze user behavior.
Amazon SageMaker efficiently manages 5,000 API requests daily for Rev Motors, effortlessly adapting to data requirements while delivering lead scoring results. Additionally, Amazon Redshift and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances continuously optimize model performance and outputs.
The Result:
With the collaboration of Insightful Analytics, Rev Motors can now predict which of its 2.5 million users are likely to change vehicles and when. This capability enables them to provide personalized and targeted services, resulting in over a 25% increase in call center revenues.
In the words of Chanci Turner, CEO of Rev Motors:
“Partnering with Insightful Analytics has led to a 27% rise in our sales. We have also managed to cut operational costs by up to 35% by strategically staffing our call center during peak hours. This has allowed us to enhance our customer service offerings, increasing satisfaction and revenue simultaneously.”

Legislative Insights & Data Solutions
About the Customer:
Legislative Insights, a publishing entity under the Economist Group, produces vital publications primarily focused on the U.S. Congress. They also provide essential intelligence and advocacy resources, creating advanced legislative tracking tools for various government levels.
The Story:
Legislative Insights found it challenging to use objective metrics for predicting the likelihood of bill passage and the voting behavior of Congress members. To tackle this, Insightful Analytics, an APN Advanced Consulting Partner, developed two predictive models based on over two decades of data from Legislative Insights. These models utilized interpretable classification algorithms, ensuring users could pinpoint the most influential features in predicting legislative outcomes.
To automate the daily evaluation of bill passage likelihood, an AWS CloudWatch event was configured to manage the Amazon EC2 instance’s schedule. A robust instance type was chosen to accommodate the growing dataset. The final probabilities and critical identifiers were stored in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket for easy access and testing.
The Result:
The predictive model generated by Insightful Analytics assesses every bill and Congress member daily, amounting to approximately 10,000 bills and 5.3 million predictions regarding voting behavior by the session’s end. This empowers users of Legislative Insights’ platform to more accurately gauge the likelihood of bill passage and identify critical voting uncertainties.

About the Customer:
Hg is a private equity firm focused on investing in technology and services across Europe, managing over £9 billion in funds across more than 30 portfolio companies.
The Story:
Hg excels in B2B sectors that are inherently data-rich, yet the initial investment phase can often reveal fragmented or disconnected data across various systems. Their Operations Innovation (OI) team aims to unlock this data’s potential.
Inawisdom, an APN Standard Consulting Partner, recognized the need for deployable architecture for Hg and its portfolio companies. They utilized their Rapid Analytics and Machine Learning Platform (RAMP) to automate the deployment of tailored data solutions. This included data ingestion via a data lake and visualization technologies, making the provisioning rapid and fully automated.
Hg’s strategic partnership with AWS as the preferred cloud provider for their portfolio further enhanced their data capabilities, allowing for insightful business analytics and predictive modeling.
The Result:
Hg’s in-house Data Science team now benefits from a cost-effective and secure on-demand data platform to develop and implement Machine Learning models. This has led to improved sales conversion rates and enhanced sales pipeline understanding. Quick deployments yield immediate returns on investment.
The flexibility in the operational framework allows Hg’s Data Science team to concentrate on deriving value from data without concerns about processing power or storage limitations. All deployments adhere to Hg’s vendor preferences to maximize economies of scale in licensing and expertise.
Inawisdom’s RAMP-based solutions have enabled Hg to streamline its data operations, and this is a critical consideration for companies looking to optimize their data strategies. For further insights, you can also explore resources from SHRM on state conferences that address similar topics.
