Know your company's future revenue today. Forecast revenue, track trends, and prevent plan shortfall risk — in real time, without manual consolidations or subjective manager estimates.
Capabilities
What the Sales Forecast Dashboard Shows
The commercial director should not wait for the weekly report or collect data from Excel spreadsheets across managers. Sales Forecast Dashboard gives an instant answer — and along with it shows where the risk is, who on the team is falling behind, and what needs to be done right now, while the month is not yet over.
01
PLAN FULFILLMENT FORECAST
The central KPI — how much the company will earn by the end of the current and next quarter. The forecast is built on the pipeline, manager conversion rates, and seasonal patterns. If a gap appears between the forecast and the plan — you see it today, not at the end of the quarter.
02
GAP TO PLAN
Shows the difference between planned and expected metrics. Allows you to quickly identify a revenue shortfall and assess the scale of the problem.
03
PIPELINE STRUCTURE BY STAGE
Distribution of deals by sales stage (from development to closure). Provides an understanding of which stages hold the money and where bottlenecks occur in the funnel.
04
CURRENT PIPELINE (COMMITTED / BEST CASE / OTHER)
Deal segmentation by closing probability. Allows assessment of pipeline quality and forecast realism based on deal structure.
05
REVENUE BY CLIENT
Aggregation of projected revenue by key accounts. Enables identification of which clients make up the bulk of revenue and where there is dependency on individual deals.
06
DEAL AND ACTIVITY CONTROL
Pipeline detail in the form of a deal list with statuses, owners, and dates. Enables progress monitoring, delay identification, and manager action management.
For Whom
Who Gets the Most Value from Sales Forecast
The report is designed for three key roles who need a sales forecast every day.
Commercial Director
You start every morning with the same question: will we hit the plan or not? The dashboard gives you the answer before your first coffee. You see plan deviations by each manager and region, know where urgent action is needed, and walk into meetings with facts, not feelings. No more unpleasant surprises at month-end.
CEO / Business Owner
Revenue is your primary pulse. Sales Forecast gives a strategic view of commercial prospects: where sales are heading, which quarters are expected to be strong, where structural risks exist. A single version of the truth shared by all your directors.
Chief Financial Officer
A sales forecast is the foundation for budgeting and cash flow planning. The dashboard provides a reliable revenue forecast for 1–3 months instead of optimistic numbers pulled from thin air. You plan payments and reserve an operational buffer based on calculated data.
Integrations
What the Sales Forecast Dashboard Integrates With
The dashboard connects to data sources already in your company — without replacing existing systems or setting up parallel databases.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Deals, pipeline stages, responsible managers, closing probability, projected amount. Native integration with no intermediaries — data updates in real time.
Excel and SharePoint
If part of your sales data is maintained in Excel (manager plans, quotas) — we connect directly via Power Query. Data updates automatically when files change in SharePoint or OneDrive.
Microsoft Cloud Sources
Microsoft 365, SharePoint Lists, Azure SQL, and other cloud storage. If your company is already on Microsoft cloud infrastructure — integration takes minimal time.
Disparate Sources
We consolidate data from multiple incompatible systems into a single analytical model via Power Query or Azure Data Factory, preserving a single deal identifier.
All connections are configured in accordance with information security requirements: data stays within your infrastructure, access is controlled at the role level.
