Real-Time Analytics & Decision Intelligence

Make better decisions at the moment they matter.

In fast-moving environments, timing is everything. Real-time analytics enables organizations to detect issues immediately, react before problems escalate, optimize operations continuously, reduce risk and downtime, improve customer experience, and unlock new data-driven business models.

This is not about faster dashboards.
This is about making better decisions at the moment they matter.

A Foundation for Automation & AI

Real-time analytics provides the signal layer required for advanced automation, predictive models, and AI-driven decision support.

Success Story

From Reactive Dashboards to Proactive Operations

A logistics company struggled with delayed visibility into delivery performance, discovering issues only after customer complaints. We implemented a real-time analytics platform processing GPS data, route deviations, and ETA predictions continuously.

Result: 85% reduction in late deliveries, proactive rerouting preventing 60% of potential delays, and live operational dashboards used by 500+ drivers and dispatchers daily.

Discuss Your Use Case

What We Mean by Decision Intelligence

Decision Intelligence goes beyond dashboards.

It combines live data streams, business logic, analytical models, alerts and recommendations, and optional automated actions into a continuous decision loop:

Observe → Analyze → Decide → Act → Learn

Acosom designs systems that support this loop — reliably and at scale.

Enable Continuous Improvement

Create feedback loops.

Real-time analytics becomes a feedback loop that helps teams learn, adapt, and optimize over time.

Architecture Principles (Technology-Agnostic)

latency iconAn illustration of latency icon

Low Latency

Insights arrive in seconds, not hours. Real-time systems process events continuously with minimal delay, enabling immediate response to operational changes and emerging patterns.

scalability iconAn illustration of scalability icon

Highly Scalable

Growing with data volume and users. The architecture handles increasing event throughput, more concurrent queries, and expanding data sources without degrading performance.

fault tolerance iconAn illustration of fault tolerance icon

Fault-Tolerant

Resilient to failures. Systems continue operating during component failures, ensuring data accuracy and availability even under adverse conditions through redundancy and recovery mechanisms.

Governed

Consistent definitions and auditability. Metrics follow unified business logic and data contracts, with full lineage tracking and change management to ensure trustworthy analytics across the organization.

security iconAn illustration of security icon

Secure

Aligned with enterprise and regulatory requirements. Access controls, encryption, and audit trails protect sensitive data while meeting compliance standards for GDPR, industry regulations, and internal policies.

Why Choose Acosom

What's the difference between real-time analytics and traditional BI?

Traditional BI relies on batch processing—data is collected, transformed overnight, and presented in reports the next day. Real-time analytics processes events as they occur, providing insights within seconds or minutes.

Use real-time analytics when: Decisions need to be made immediately, waiting for batch reports is too slow, or you need to detect and respond to issues proactively.

How do you ensure real-time analytics is accurate?

Accuracy in real-time systems requires:

  • Exactly-once processing: Ensuring events are processed correctly even during failures
  • Data validation: Checking incoming data for quality and consistency
  • Unified definitions: Using governed schemas and business logic
  • Reconciliation: Comparing real-time results with batch systems where needed

We design systems with built-in accuracy guarantees appropriate for each use case.

Can real-time analytics work with our existing data infrastructure?

Yes. We integrate with existing databases, data warehouses, event streams, and APIs. Real-time analytics typically sits alongside—not replaces—your existing BI systems, providing complementary live insights while batch systems handle historical analysis and complex reporting.

What's the typical latency you can achieve?

Latency depends on the use case and architecture:

  • Sub-second: Fraud detection, monitoring alerts
  • Seconds: Operational dashboards, live KPIs
  • Minutes: Complex aggregations, trend analysis

We design latency targets based on business requirements, not technical capabilities.

How long does it take to implement real-time analytics?

A production-ready real-time analytics system typically takes 8-14 weeks:

  • Weeks 1-2: Use case definition, decision mapping, metrics design
  • Weeks 3-5: Data pipeline implementation, integration
  • Weeks 6-9: Dashboard and alert development, testing
  • Weeks 10-14: Production deployment, monitoring, optimization

Proof-of-concept implementations for specific use cases are possible in 2-3 weeks.

Can real-time analytics trigger automated actions?

Yes. Real-time analytics can feed into automation systems, triggering:

  • Alerts and notifications
  • Workflow automation
  • System adjustments (e.g., scaling resources)
  • Business process automation

This creates a closed-loop decision system—from signal to action. We implement appropriate safeguards to ensure automated actions are safe and auditable.
