Opportunity Navigator

The Opportunity Navigator is the hub of Salesmatrix.

It gives an easy way to access key results within Salesmatrix as well as an overall summary of your data results in Salesmatrix. The Dashboard should be the starting point of your analysis of  sales data or projections.

There are three key sections:

  • Navigator
  • Results
  • Best of Breed

Navigator

This interface provides a practical way to let Salesmatrix guide you through the day-to-day questions that will enable you to drive your market more intelligently. Most questions take you through an assessment wizard, and then leave you with a results grid that you can analyse for patterns and issues. The 4th question takes the user directly to the 80/20 focus interface, while questions 11 and 12 provide interfaces into the product and customer CRM interface tool that are not available elsewhere in Salesmatrix.

Results

Results gives a summary of four key performance measures - the total Revenue, total Margin, the total Units and the Margin percentage. By default, the screen shows the totals for the 12 month periods. By altering the dropdown lists, the performance of individual monthly periods can be analysed.

In a similar manner to traffic lights in the main grid, the colour of the circle at the right of each row indicates the relative performance of each of the performance measures.

Dark Green + 5% or more increase. Light Green Between +2 and +5% increase. Amber Between +2 and -2% increase or decrease (i.e. little change). Yellow Between -2 and -5% decrease. Red - 5% or more decrease.

This measures the number of individual Products, Customers, and Salespersons which were active in the data set. It also shows the number of transactions analysed for the chosen period.

Although these activity measures display the same 'traffic light' measures as for the results section (increase is better), an increase in the volume of business activity may not necessarily be construed as positive. As per the focus screen, a business manager may set an objective of reducing an aspect of the business in order to achieve better efficiency.
