Huntingdon is well within our regular travel radius from Olney, which means implementation here is done in person rather than over a screen share. That matters more than it sounds: most of what a system needs to know is learned by standing in the building.
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.
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.
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.
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 Huntingdon it is done in person.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
