We support businesses in Ely the way we would want to be supported ourselves: someone who knows the account, on the end of a phone, and on site when being on site is what the job needs. Ely is comfortably within a morning’s drive of our Olney office.

Most sales forecasts are opinions collected in a spreadsheet. Each salesperson estimates what they will close, a manager adjusts for known optimism, finance adjusts again, and nobody can say afterwards why the number was wrong. CubeCRM builds the forecast from the pipeline itself: every open deal with its value, stage, probability and expected close date. Salespeople mark deals as committed or possible, so you see committed, likely and best-case figures by month, team and product. The stage probabilities can be checked against how often deals at each stage have been won, deals past their close date are flagged instead of being rolled forward, and weekly snapshots show how the forecast moved and which deals moved it.

What it does

Inside sales forecasting software

The parts of CubeCRM that make up sales forecasting. Everything here shares one data model, so nothing needs re-keying between them.

  • Built from the pipeline

    The forecast is the pipeline, summed and weighted. There is no separate spreadsheet to keep up to date, and every number can be traced to named opportunities.

  • Committed, likely and best case

    Salespeople mark deals as committed or possible alongside the stage probability, so the forecast shows a range instead of a single figure.

  • Checked against your win rates

    Actual win rates by stage, product and person, worked out from closed deals, show whether the stage probabilities are too optimistic.

  • Close dates that mean something

    Deals past their expected close date are flagged and reset with a reason, so they are not quietly rolled into next month.

  • Drill into any figure

    Click from the forecast total to a team, a person and the individual deals behind it, with their latest activity.

  • Forecast movement

    Snapshots show how the forecast for a month changed week by week, and which deals caused each change.

In practice

Problems this actually solves

Anonymised, but not invented. These are the situations businesses describe to us before they change anything.

  1. A forecast finance discounted

    The situation

    A distributor’s finance director took a fixed percentage off every sales forecast before using it for cash planning, because it had been too high for years. Nobody knew whether the percentage was right.

    What changed

    The forecast comes from the pipeline, with stage probabilities checked against real win rates, so any adjustment can be based on evidence and dropped once the forecast has earned it.

  2. Close dates that kept moving

    The situation

    An engineering consultancy had deals whose expected close date was pushed back month after month, so every month looked healthy until its last week.

    What changed

    Overdue close dates are flagged and have to be reset with a reason, so the current month is judged on deals that can still close in it.

  3. A hiring decision without numbers

    The situation

    A growing installer wanted to take on another fitting team but could not tell whether the forward order book justified it.

    What changed

    A three-month forecast from the pipeline, weighted by the business’s own win rates, gives a figure the decision can rest on, and drills down to the deals behind it.

How it happens

What implementation actually involves

The same process wherever you are, and for Ely it is done in person.

  1. Discovery

    A structured session mapping how you work now - the systems, the spreadsheets and the bits held together by one person’s memory. We come back with what the platform covers as standard, what needs configuration, and what needs building.

  2. Configuration

    Your structure, sites, roles, approval chains, document templates and permissions set up to match the business - not a demo tenant with your logo dropped on it.

  3. Data migration

    Existing records brought across and reconciled: customers, stock, bills of materials, employees, holiday balances, contracts. We migrate, you check, then we cut over.

  4. Training & rollout

    Role-based training so people learn the parts they actually use, with a pilot team first where it makes sense. Documentation and short screen recordings left behind for new starters.

  5. Ongoing support

    UK support from the people who built the platform, with a named contact, agreed response times, and a product roadmap you can influence.

Questions

The things people ask first

  • As accurate as the pipeline behind it. The difference is that it can be checked against what actually closed, and the stage probabilities adjusted from real history, so it gets more accurate over time.

  • Yes. A deal can carry a one-off value, a recurring value or both, and the forecast shows them separately so one large win does not hide a flat recurring line.

  • Yes. The forecast can be sent by email on a schedule or exported, and finance can have read-only access.

  • No. It works from the current pipeline on day one using the probabilities you set, and the comparison with past win rates becomes more useful as closed deals build up.

  • Yes, by export or through the reporting API, with the same permissions applied.
