Revenue Forecasting across Projects

  • A multinational software and services firm needed an improved methodology for planning and tracking revenue performance on customer contracts including software, services and maintenance components. KeenVision worked with the client team to design and develop an Advanced Planning methodology to improve revenue predictability globally.
  • The new Advanced Planning process utilized data from General Ledger, CRM and other data sources. With the Revenue visibility improved, the next phase is to flow the customer billing projections (milestone based) into a Cash Collection forecast - providing the Finance team with a fact based projection of cash receipts.
