The Problem And The Solution
The Customer has a dedicated IT infrastructure and team that handles all the digital marketing. The marketing campaigns are diverse and are comprised of automated programs that ran over extensive durations of time on data from Google BigQuery. These programs process different amounts of data and are interdependent. The marketing campaigns have weekly recurring deadlines and that’s why it is highly significant to estimate the accurate completion time of the campaigns.
By utilizing the Artificial Intelligence powered solution with-in the Machine Learning realm, our solution uses partial data from the past executions to estimate the completion-time based on the number of records to be processed, number of API calls to be made and some other categorical variables and utilizes Random Forest Regression techniques to reach an accurate estimate.

Accuracy
For a batch of campaigns that span over 20 hours, the estimation is within ±42 minutes’ error margin. This is very much helpful in assessing the value and effectiveness of the marketing campaigns.
Continuous Improvement
The algorithm improves over the time through Machine Learning. As with preceding time the more campaigns are executed, hence more data is collected. Which in turn helps the algorithm to improve its performance accordingly.
Automation
Monitoring the campaigns was a manual hectic work before this solution. The automation relieves the pain of manual monitoring and sends email notifications in case of any breakdown or malfunction.
