Insight and sales forecasting: plan next quarter on your own numbers

Our data analyst reads your reports with you and explains what's changed. We build a forward view from your own pipeline and history, so next quarter is planned on more than a hunch.

Trusted by clients from global brands to local charities

Sound familiar?

Reports tell you what happened. You need to know what to do next.

Plenty of businesses have dashboards. Fewer have the time to read them properly, spot what's changing and turn that into a decision before it costs money.

  • We've got dashboards, but nobody has time to read them.

  • We plan next quarter on gut feel.

  • We spot a problem once it's already cost us.

  • We never really know our busy months in advance.

Systems applied to the numbers

A view of what's coming

We start with the forecast you'll use most, usually the sales pipeline, weighted by the chance each deal will close. Seasonality and repeat business sharpen it, and it updates as real numbers arrive.

  • Weighted pipeline

    Each deal counted at its chance of closing.

  • Seasonality

    What the same months did last year.

  • Repeat work

    The repeat work you can reasonably expect.

What the leadership team sees: the return, in plain words

Every month the figures from your systems, finance and marketing come together, our analyst reads what changed, and the leadership team gets a short pack that says what the investment returned and what to decide next.

Monthly leadership pack

Prepared for the board meeting, from this month's records

  • Return

    Leads from search cost less than any other channel, and more of them became work.

  • Watch

    Margin on smaller jobs is slipping as delivery time rises.

  • Ahead

    On the current pipeline, next quarter is ahead of target if two proposals land.

Every forecast shows its range and how sure we are

We show the likely outcome and the range around it, and we update it as the real numbers come in.

It's only as good as the data behind it, which is why this sits at the end of our data work, after the data architecture and the reporting are right.

Questions about insight and forecasting

  • Reads your reports with you on a regular rhythm, explains what's moved and why, and suggests what to look at or change next.

  • They're ranges, and we show how confident they are. Accuracy improves as more history builds up, and we track how close past forecasts came.

  • Not as a service on its own. For most growing businesses a well-built model of the pipeline and the seasons is the right method, and you can see how it works.
