Steelwedge Software: Sales Planning and Performance Management for companies seeking better sales forecasting and planning collaboration solutions to significantly improve corporate performance.

Steelwedge Software is the leading innovator in the emerging field of Sales Planning and Performance Management (SPPM), helping companies to create, validate and synchronize revenue plans, align them with business and financial targets, and gain executive visibility and control over enterprise performance.

Facilitate Planning, Execution and Performance

Maintaining sales force effectiveness, ensuring strong margins, supporting high order fill-rates, avoiding large inventory write-offs, and managing regulatory compliance require manufacturers to formulate strategic, tactical and supply plans based on a realistic view of demand. That's why in today's uncertain economic environment, enterprise planning processes have become business critical.

While millions of dollars in SCM, ERP and CRM system investments have helped improve efficiencies within each area of the organization, these systems were not designed for improving business performance and facilitating sales revenue planning. As a result, most companies still rely on spreadsheets to support executive-level planning, while source data remains buried in enterprise systems. Yet spreadsheets lack the data management, analytics and process automation needed to reconcile and align functional plans and drive executive decision-making.

Create an Enterprise Plan of Record

Steelwedge Software does what spreadsheets and enterprise systems cannot - we enable business planning for the demand-driven enterprise by providing visibility, collaboration and performance management across sales, marketing, finance, and supply chain operations. Our Enterprise Planning and Performance Management solution helps manufacturers accurately assess market demand, clearly align their customer, product, inventory, production and business plans and closely monitor operational, financial, and sales performance.

Steelwedge solutions allow you to leverage your existing enterprise infrastructure to create an Enterprise Plan of Record that can vastly improve your revenue planning, sales plans, sales performance reporting, revenue recognition management, sales quota management, sales operations support, demand plans, sales forecasts, new product introduction plans, revenue and margin plans and Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) processes. Steelwedge gives you the visibility, control and accountability you need to quickly respond to changes in the marketplace, as well as regulatory compliance and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. Furthermore, Steelwedge enables you to improve sales force effectiveness and enforce accountability across your sales organization.

Steelwedge understands that its customers require simple, powerful, easy-to-use, high value, low risk solutions. Therefore, we have developed break-through technology which marries the power of Excel and Web Servers with the strength of a centrally-served solution.
