02 / Solutions

Start with the decisionyou need to make.

Five business challenges.
Solutions shaped around your context.

01 / Customer intelligence & lead qualification

Which customers should we prioritise—and how should we engage them?

Focus commercial effort on the customers and actions with the greatest potential to generate additional sales.

The business challenge

Customer information is often fragmented across CRM, digital channels and transaction systems. Broad audience rules can miss purchase intent, while identifying likely buyers does not reveal whose decision a campaign, offer or sales contact could influence.

Our solution

MT2 develops a flexible customer data platform that connects relevant sources and accommodates different markets and business rules. Our modelling framework combines customer scoring and purchase propensity with causal machine learning. Where suitable treatment and comparison data are available, causal ML estimates the incremental effect of commercial actions. Prioritisation outputs integrate into existing CRM and campaign workflows.

What this enables

Decide whom to contact, which action to take and where to allocate commercial resources. Evaluate performance against existing targeting practices.

Selected engagement

Customer prioritisation for a global automotive manufacturer

MT2 developed customer scoring and purchase-propensity models to support CRM campaign selection in the manufacturer’s Brazilian operation. The solution combined customer characteristics, engagement and purchase history to identify priority audiences within existing contact budgets.

The solution helped generate incremental sales, accelerate lead progression through the sales funnel and reduce customer acquisition costs by focusing commercial effort on the right audiences.

02 / Market & sales forecasting

How much demand should we plan for?

Anticipate changes in market demand and translate them into business and sales plans.

The business challenge

Historical sales alone can miss changes in the economy, sector activity and customer behaviour. Different forecasts across teams make it harder to align commercial targets, capacity and investment plans.

Our solution

MT2 develops tailored econometric and machine-learning forecasting models, supported by a maintained external data platform. A shared forecasting application brings together market and sales projections, demand drivers, forecast accuracy and a scenario simulator. Teams can test alternative economic assumptions and understand how the outlook changes across segments and planning horizons.

What this enables

Anticipate market shifts, compare planning scenarios and align sales targets, production capacity and investment decisions around a shared demand outlook.

Selected engagement

Market and demand forecasting for a major steel producer

MT2 developed a forecasting platform to support planning for automotive end markets. The solution combined economic and sector indicators with tailored forecasting models, bringing demand projections, explanatory drivers and alternative scenarios into a shared planning environment.

Commercial and planning teams could assess changes in the market outlook and explore their implications for the business.

03 / Marketing & sales effectiveness

How should we allocate our marketing and sales budget?

Understand what drives sales and where additional investment can create the most value.

The business challenge

Media, promotions, discounts and sales incentives compete for the same budget. Separate performance measures make their contribution difficult to compare and can obscure where additional spending produces diminishing returns.

Our solution

MT2 develops marketing-mix models and a budget optimisation engine. The models estimate how commercial investments relate to sales, accounting for market conditions, pricing, seasonality and delayed effects. Response curves capture diminishing returns, while the optimiser evaluates alternative allocations within agreed budgets and commercial constraints.

What this enables

Compare investment alternatives on a common basis and decide where to increase, maintain or reduce spending across brands, regions and channels.

Selected engagement

Marketing investment allocation for a multinational beverage company

MT2 developed a marketing-mix model to assess the contribution of media, discounts and commercial initiatives to sales. The analysis accounted for external market conditions and evaluated alternative investment allocations within the existing budget.

The work provided a shared analytical basis for comparing commercial levers and identifying opportunities to improve investment effectiveness.

04 / Pricing & discount management

What price should we set, and how much discount should we approve?

Make pricing and discount decisions with a consistent view of the customer, the transaction and commercial priorities.

The business challenge

Customer history, transaction prices and previous concessions often sit in separate systems. Sales and finance repeatedly reconstruct the same information, slowing discount reviews and making decisions difficult to apply consistently.

Our solution

MT2 develops price elasticity of demand models and a pricing and discount decision-support application. The models estimate how changes in price and discounts affect expected sales volumes, supporting comparisons of revenue and margin scenarios. The application consolidates customer, invoice and negotiation data, with shared indicators and configurable commercial rules to evaluate proposed terms against transaction history and accepted ranges.

What this enables

Evaluate price and discount scenarios, understand their expected effect on demand, revenue and margin, and identify exceptions requiring specialist review.

Selected engagement

Pricing decision support for a global commercial-vehicle manufacturer

For the manufacturer’s Brazilian operation, MT2 developed a pricing and discount-review application that consolidated customer purchase history, transaction prices and previous commercial concessions.

The application gave sales and controlling teams a shared view of each negotiation, supporting consistent evaluation of discount requests and identification of exceptions requiring further review.

05 / Production planning & optimisation

What should we produce, and when?

Align production schedules with capacity, delivery commitments and business priorities.

The business challenge

When orders compete for limited capacity, changing one priority can affect the entire production plan. Manual scheduling makes it difficult to balance delivery dates, customer commitments, line changeovers and operating constraints.

Our solution

MT2 develops a mathematical optimisation engine and an interactive planning application. The engine evaluates orders, capacity, calendars, delivery commitments and commercial priorities together to propose daily schedules. Planners retain control to review recommendations, preserve confirmed commitments and move or split orders as requirements change.

What this enables

Compare feasible schedules, understand operational trade-offs and allocate available capacity in line with service commitments and business priorities.

Selected engagement

Order scheduling for a major Brazilian wood-panel manufacturer

MT2 developed an optimisation solution to allocate hundreds of customer orders across a monthly production horizon. The model considered production capacity, delivery commitments, commercial priorities and operating constraints to propose daily schedules.

Planners could review recommendations and adjust individual orders while assessing the implications for the wider production plan.
