“How’s the sales season going?”
SalesAccounts sold

FinanceProjections
Sales and Operations bring different counts for accounts sold and services completed. Finance brings projections nobody else can make sense of. Before you can discuss whether you’re on track, someone has to work out what each report is counting and which assumptions went into the forecast.
Someone on your team can explain the difference.
We work through those definitions and assumptions with your team and build them into shared data models. Reports use the agreed definitions, and your team can see how the projections were calculated.
01
Does an account still count as sold if it cancels before the first service?
02
How many services does the forecast assume each new customer will receive?

Data from across your business
A foundation you own, with room to keep building.
We bring data from across your business into a warehouse you own, with documented models and business logic your team can maintain and extend.
That work gives you a starting point for adding reporting tools, exploring AI, or connecting new systems as the business grows.
Follow the customer across the systems your business runs on.
Connecting your marketing, CRM, and conversation analytics helps you understand how customers find you and what happens after the first conversation.
What does each campaign cost per paying customer? What do the calls that turn into booked service have in common?
That connected history supports questions across the business.

01 · The problem
“Can we handle what Sales is bringing in?”
New accounts need first services. Existing customers are due for recurring visits. The office is handling calls and reschedules while branch managers work out who can cover the routes.
The information is there, but seeing where you’re running short means pulling it together again whenever the plan changes.
What you see
Staffing plans rebuilt by hand
Why it happens
Demand and capacity are tracked separately
02 · What we build
See how demand translates into work for your team.
We connect sales, service, call, and staffing data, then model the relationships: when a new account needs service, what that adds to the schedule, and how the expected workload compares with available staff.
Your team can plan across branches and examine the assumptions behind the staffing estimates.
01
Connect accounts sold to expected service demand
02
Compare office and field workloads with staffing capacity
03
Document service schedules, workload assumptions, and calculations
03 · In practice
“What will another 500 accounts mean for this branch?”
The answer depends on when those customers start, how often they need service, and the capacity already committed to existing customers.
With those relationships modeled, your team can estimate the additional workload and see when more coverage may be needed. The estimates can be updated as sales come in and services are scheduled.
Sales → Service demand → Capacity
