Money Forward Consulting Co., Ltd., a group company of Money Forward, Inc., has begun offering the "AI Anomaly Detection Feature" for its management and budget control system, "Sactona." With this feature, AI instantly identifies anomalies in monthly performance data, significantly streamlining data analysis and confirmation tasks.
* The "AI Anomaly Detection Feature" of "Sactona" is jointly developed with Outlook Consulting Co., Ltd., a 100% group company of ours. It is initially offered as a beta version, with features to be expanded sequentially.
The "AI Anomaly Detection Feature" automatically analyzes past 12 months of performance data to detect rapid data fluctuations and deviations from predicted values. When an anomaly is determined by exceeding a threshold, an alert is displayed along with the reason for the judgment.
This automates the confirmation work, such as budget vs. actual variance and year-over-year comparisons, which were conventionally calculated manually, preventing oversights of abnormal values due to person-dependent checks. It significantly reduces the workload of checking personnel while supporting improved analysis accuracy and rapid management decisions.
## Features of the "AI Anomaly Detection Feature"
**1. Highly accurate detection using multifaceted algorithms**
In addition to statistical outliers, it judges anomalies using unique algorithms including trend changes, correlations between multiple items, and deviations through regression analysis. By combining rule-based threshold judgments with deep learning, it achieves highly accurate detection.
**2. Intuitive factor comprehension with highlighted anomaly points and comments**
Cells with numerical values judged as anomalies are automatically highlighted, and the reason for the judgment is displayed as a comment. This reduces the effort required to grasp the factors, enabling a seamless transition from the screen to detailed analysis tasks such as creating analysis widgets.
**3. Application to complex data structures unique to each company**
It learns the unique organizational hierarchy, allocation logic, and complex account correlations of each company, which are difficult for general-purpose AI models to distinguish, enabling precise anomaly detection tailored to actual business conditions.
**4. Seamless drill-down analysis and simulation**
With a single click from the anomaly detection, users can transition directly to relevant detailed data and past trends. It minimizes the lead time for decision-making by completing everything from investigating the cause of the anomaly to reflecting the expected landing after data correction within "Sactona."
## Background of the Launch
Amid rapid changes in the business environment, companies are required to detect risks and changes quickly and make rapid decisions. However, in the field of budget and actual management, significant man-hours are spent identifying input errors and sudden fluctuations from vast amounts of monthly actual data, making the oversight of abnormal values and the personalization of analysis major challenges.
This feature solves these challenges. By leveraging "Sactona's" strengths in handling complex and large-scale organizational structures, it automates cross-sectional anomaly detection that was difficult to do visually, providing an environment where personnel can focus on more advanced analysis and high-value-added tasks.
In the future, we plan to implement a feature that automatically creates reports based on natural language instructions. "Sactona" aims to further improve convenience for user companies and realize more advanced management control through the continuous expansion of AI features.
