Impactive AI's raw material price forecasting solution, Deepflow Materials, is now officially available.

With the addition of Market Intelligence Analysis, Technical Analysis Tools, and an AI Assistant, alongside significant enhancements to its existing AI forecasting capabilities, Deepflow Materials now connects the entire decision-making process—from prediction to procurement decisions—within a single platform.

AI-Powered Raw Material Price Forecasting — High Accuracy with an Intuitive Dashboard

Deepflow Materials provides short- and mid-term price forecasts for key raw materials, including:

• Steelmaking materials (iron ore, steel scrap, coking coal, etc.)
• Non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, nickel, etc.)
• Energy commodities (crude oil, etc.)
• Agricultural products (soybeans, corn, cheese, etc.)

All forecasts are presented through an intuitive dashboard, enabling procurement professionals to monitor price trends without having to search across multiple sources.

The list of supported commodities continues to expand. By learning from a wide range of variables—including production and consumption data, trade statistics, economic indicators, major market events, and climate factors—Deepflow Materials delivers highly accurate forecasts.

Market Intelligence Analysis — Global News Monitoring Powered by AI, 24/7

One of the key highlights of this release is the new Market Intelligence Analysis feature.

AI continuously monitors global news around the clock and delivers actionable insights for each commodity market.

Procurement teams often need to track price movements and market developments multiple times a day. However, critical information is typically scattered across various websites, reports, and news sources, making it time-consuming to understand what is driving price changes.

Deepflow Materials streamlines this process by bringing everything together into a single platform, reducing research time and enabling faster purchasing decisions.

By consolidating market intelligence and catch-up reports in one place, users can move directly from information gathering to decision-making and reporting.

The platform also identifies key factors influencing prices—such as exchange rates and global supply chain developments—and quantifies their impact. In addition, it provides correlation analysis, lag-effect analysis, and causal analysis between market drivers, helping users gain a deeper understanding of what moves prices and why.

Technical Analysis Tools — Quantifying Market Direction with a 5-Level Outlook

The Technical Analysis Tool predicts likely price direction over the coming week using a five-level scale ranging from strongly bullish to strongly bearish.

Rather than simply suggesting that prices "may rise" or "may fall," the tool quantifies the probability of each scenario, providing a clearer view of potential market movements.

It also scores four key indicators:

• Direction
• Volatility
• Trend Strength
• Trend Persistence

These metrics help users interpret current market conditions objectively and quantitatively.

Combined with correlation analysis and impact assessment of key market drivers, the platform provides data-backed explanations for market behavior—helping users understand not only what happened, but why it happened.

AI Assistant — Your On-Demand Market Analysis Partner

Deepflow Materials now includes an AI Assistant that provides instant answers to questions about:

• Price outlooks
• Key market drivers
• Industry developments
• Commodity market trends

Simply ask a question and receive an immediate response.

Leveraging forecast results and market intelligence data, the AI Assistant summarizes critical information and explains its implications, helping users quickly generate insights for reports and procurement decisions.

Instead of spending valuable time searching for market information and interpreting data, procurement teams can focus on making better purchasing decisions.

Helping Procurement Teams Focus on What Matters Most

The enhanced Deepflow Materials significantly reduces the time spent gathering and analyzing global market information.

By automating research and market monitoring, it allows procurement professionals to focus on their core objectives: identifying optimal purchasing opportunities and reducing procurement costs.
