Confidently predict business outcomes with sales analytics software.
Forecasting
Predict the likelihood of winning an opportunity, with each sales stage mapped to a forecast category such as pipeline, best case, commit, closed, and most likely. Easily customize and define categories to match unique business processes and sales cycles. Increase forecast precision through live rollups by selecting either single forecasts, which display values from individual categories, or cumulative forecasts that combine values from multiple categories.
