New predictive AI in Qlik Cloud helps teams model real-world drivers and operationalize plans instantly
Qlik has officially launched Multivariate Time Series (MVTS) in Qlik Predict™, bringing GPU-accelerated, explainable forecasting into Qlik Cloud®. First unveiled at Qlik Connect® earlier this year, MVTS empowers planning teams to model complex, interdependent variables—like pricing, weather, and supply constraints—within a single predictive framework. Alongside this, Qlik announced that WriteTable, its in-app writeback capability, will be generally available in December 2025.
“In volatile markets, forecasting is capital allocation,” said Brendan Grady, EVP and GM of Qlik’s Analytics Business Unit. “Multivariate Time Series in Qlik Predict lets teams model how real-world factors interact and explain results in plain business terms.”
“With WriteTable, insights become governed changes to orders, staffing and pricing. This is how you reduce execution risk and move faster.”
— Alexander Engel, Head of Business Intelligence, SLA Software Logistik Artland
MVTS is designed to reflect how variables move together—not in isolation—making forecasts more resilient and actionable. With built-in explainability, users can see which drivers influence outcomes, accelerating stakeholder alignment. Delivered as a no-code experience within Qlik Cloud, MVTS ensures analytics teams can move fast while IT retains governance.
WriteTable complements MVTS by turning forecasts into operational decisions. Teams can update quantities, staffing, or pricing directly in Qlik, triggering downstream actions without switching tools. This closes the loop from insight to execution.
Early use cases span inventory, workforce, pricing, and service operations. Retailers can rebalance SKUs by region, HR teams can align shifts to seasonal demand, and service managers can anticipate call volumes from marketing campaigns.
Qlik’s platform ensures trusted data flows into Predict, while its analytics engine enforces model transparency and writeback control. The result: predictive AI that meets enterprise standards for speed, clarity, and scale.
MVTS is now available in Qlik Cloud, with WriteTable set to follow in December. Customers can activate the features in existing workspaces or contact Qlik for tailored onboarding.
