Why We Like Cloud9 Intelligent Forecasting
Cloud9 streamlines the administrative process of forecasting reducing the normal drudgery. That’s a great thing by itself. But Cloud9 does more than that. It supplements a sales managers’ intuition with real data based on advanced analysis and that makes it possible to better judge forecast accuracy, understand which deals are at risk, and take action in time.
The system is designed specifically for organizations that use Salesforce.com and employ matrixed management, overlay teams, global account teams, product hierarchies, or custom organizational hierarchies.
Cloud9 makes it easy to get actionable information about your forecast and pipeline, information that is impractical or impossible to get from CRM systems, BI tools, and spreadsheets. It shows you how your forecast and pipeline are changing, which opportunities are at risk, and how teams are performing. With that information, you know which opportunities to focus on, which teams need additional coaching, and what actions can be taken to improve performance.
Cloud9 allows users to see how the forecast has changed and easily drill down into the deals that make up the change.
