Qlik has announced general availability of Multivariate Time Series (MVTS) in Qlik Predict, bringing GPU-accelerated, explainable forecasting into the heart of Qlik Cloud.
First shown at Qlik Connect in May, 2025, the new capability helps organisations model real-world drivers and act instantly on insights. Alongside MVTS, Qlik also revealed that its Write Table capability is targeted to be generally available December 2025.
Write Table lets teams act on AI-generated forecasts by updating operational tables and triggering downstream actions without leaving Qlik.
Planning teams juggle multiple variables that move together, not in isolation. Prices, promotions, weather, and supply constraints all interact, and single-variable tools can’t keep up.
Qlik Predict changes that by modeling these relationships in context, revealing why performance shifts and what to do next. Paired with Qlik’s Write Table, analysts can translate AI-driven forecasts into governed changes by updating orders, staffing, or pricing directly in the same flow.
New features include:
- Multivariate by design. Build and compare models that account for multiple, interdependent drivers over time, so forecasts remain resilient when conditions shift.
- Explainable by default. See driver contributions clearly with transparent explanations that accelerate stakeholder buy-in.
- No-code and governed. Delivered inside Qlik Predict on Qlik Cloud, so analytics teams can move fast while IT maintains control.
“In volatile markets, forecasting is capital allocation,” says Brendan Grady, executive vice-president 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.”
