Prophet

Prophet is Meta's time-series forecasting library for predicting trends with seasonality. It handles daily, weekly, and yearly patterns with minimal configuration, making it accessible for business forecasting.

I use Prophet for demand forecasting, sales predictions, and capacity planning where the data has clear temporal patterns. It handles holidays, trend changes, and missing data gracefully, and the output is interpretable - you can see the trend, seasonality, and holiday components separately.

For Barnsley businesses that need forecasting - inventory planning, staffing, or revenue projections - Prophet provides accessible time-series prediction that accounts for the patterns in your data.
