Revenue growth analytics

When revenue growth plateaus, the question is rarely what the numbers show. It's where leadership should act.

The challenge

Growth had stalled, and no one could agree on why.

Sales, customer, and product data lived in separate systems and separate conversations. Every team had a number that defended its own view, and none of them pointed to a decision.

We combined those sources into a single profitability and retention model, then pulled it apart again to find the few levers actually moving the top line.

What if sales data could show where your next growth opportunity is hiding?
What the data revealed

Four findings that reframed the conversation.

01

The top 10 accounts generated 57% of total revenue, exposing a concentration risk invisible in standard sales reporting.

02

Flagged 3 top accounts, worth €1.1M, whose order frequency had declined for two consecutive quarters, early enough to intervene.

03

2 of the 5 highest-volume products sold below 15% margin, while standard reports ranked them as top performers.

04

Lifting net revenue retention from 112% to 115% was worth more than the entire new-business pipeline for the year.

How we approached it

Four phases. One partnership.

Phase 01
Listen

We sat with sales, finance, and ops to understand which decisions the data needed to serve — before touching a single table.

Phase 02
Model

We unified the sources into one trusted profitability and retention model, with clear, documented definitions.

Phase 03
Reveal

We built the views that surfaced concentration, retention, and margin in one place, designed for decisions, not monitoring.

Phase 04
Stay

We stayed through the first decisions the model informed, refining it as leadership acted on what it showed.

The impact

From defending numbers to directing them.
