    A complete forecasting solution

    Customers of Right90 have IT infrastructures that include SAP, Oracle, salesforce.com and Hyperion. Yet, these leading companies have turned to Right90 to deliver a trusted, actionable sales forecast. They chose Right90 because:

    • CRM tracks your new business revenue pipeline, but organizations have found that CRM does not provide a complete forecast, from run-rate business to renewals. A complete forecast is required to manage your business based on a future view of revenue and margin.
    • Demand planning, SCM and ERP applications can create the optimal build plan based on the supply chain and factory’s constraint, but they require the trusted, actionable sales forecast as an input.
    • CPM provides great analytic insight into your past performance and future expenses, but organizations have found CPM does not provide insight into future revenue from the sales organization.
