I run your sales forecast end to end: the baseline, the adjustment round with sales and finance, and the number that goes to management. Your team argues about the business, not about which spreadsheet is final.
“Each team has their own spreadsheet. We waste time reconciling instead of deciding.”
“There is a gap between statistical forecast and expectations from management or sales. No one really owns the number.”
“Even with SAP, we always end up back in Excel. It’s the only thing that really works.”
Messy sell-in files, three versions on SharePoint, a sales team with its own view. That’s the normal starting point, not a problem.
One forecast cycle, run properly, from raw data to the management pack.
The reporting behind the forecast: data you can trust, in a Power BI dashboard your team actually opens.
One shared forecast instead of five files. Proposals, comments and approvals in one place. A full audit trail, included free, because that’s the whole point.
I’m a data and BI specialist in Kuala Lumpur, working in FMCG and retail. I’ve built market volume models, demand planning dashboards and more forecast packs than I can count, and I’ve watched good numbers get lost between versions.
Dayta is how I fix that: a sound baseline, an honest adjustment process, and one number your management can trust.
A 30-minute call, free. Bring your current process and your worst spreadsheet. You’ll leave with a clear view of what to fix first, whether or not we work together.
