The Problem

  • Like in most companies, Centric’s Account Managers have revenue targets each month
  • While they had a high-level knowledge of the total order value for the month, it was difficult to predict how much of that demand would actually convert to revenue
  • Non-conversion was due to reasons such as Stock-outs and other inventory issues
  • Many of these risks can be managed if noticed early
  • But that was difficult due to the process complexity and Account Managers could not avoid such revenue leakages
Improve Forecast

What is standing between me and my target for the period? It is a very difficult question when you are managing a large portfolio of accounts and products. And that’s where OpsVeda comes to my aid. I get early visibility to revenue that is almost in the bag and those that are more uncertain. And the breakdown of potential revenue by various types of risks allows me to execute within 1% variance of moving revenue targets on a monthly and quarterly basis.
