Challenge
The client faced major obstacles in forecasting accuracy, visibility, and collaboration:
Static Forecasting Methods
Forecasts were built in spreadsheets, slowing reporting and undermining confidence in results.
Inconsistent Renewal Visibility
Renewals were hard to separate from net new business, creating uncertainty in recurring revenue projections.
Fragmented Data Landscape
Revenue-critical data was siloed across Opportunities, Products, and Accounts.
Limited Forward-Looking Insights
They lacked a reliable way to model revenue beyond the immediate pipeline.
Data Quality Blind Spots
Duplicated, missing, and inconsistent Salesforce records weakened reporting and created inefficiencies.
These challenges left leaders without the agility or confidence needed to plan effectively in a fast-changing software market.
Salesforce Products used
Solution
Sweet Potato Tec partnered with the client to design and implement a 48-month predictive forecasting model directly within Salesforce CRM Analytics. The solution combined data preparation, predictive modelling, dashboards, and governance.
Key actions included
CRM Data Preparation:

Predictive Forecasting:
Trained Einstein Discovery models to predict revenue at the account-product level, covering both renewals and new business.
Interactive Dashboards:
Delivered dashboards showing predicted vs. actual revenue, with drill-down insights and filters for accounts, regions, and product lines.
Data Quality Insights:
Identified duplicates, missing product mappings, and inconsistent renewal flags—then established governance to improve trust in reporting.
Operationalisation & Governance:
Enabled scheduled prediction refreshes, CSV/Excel exports for Finance, and documentation for monthly model retraining.

The project followed Sweet Potato Tec’s proven four-phase delivery model:
Discovery:
Engaged executives and operational teams to identify forecasting pain points and define business goals.
Design:
Built a tailored 48-Month Forecasting App inside CRM Analytics, aligning data prep, Einstein Discovery, and dashboard needs.
