Sales Representatives benefit from timely access to relevant data tailored to their context, location, and upcoming engagements, which helps them prioritize effectively without the hassle of searching for information. By leveraging this data, you can pinpoint which specific actions significantly contribute to pipeline expansion. Furthermore, Veloxy Analytics equips Sales Managers and Operations teams with precise forecasts derived from historical analysis of trends, along with analytical tools that allow for an exploration of how various sales activities correlate with pipeline growth, ultimately driving better decision-making and strategy formulation. This comprehensive approach ensures that every sales effort is strategically aligned for maximum impact.

Backstory is an AI-powered revenue intelligence platform built to give sales organizations deeper visibility into deals, accounts, pipelines, forecasts, and customer engagement. It connects with existing CRM, email, calendar, meeting, and sales applications to collect account activity without requiring representatives to manually enter every interaction. Calls, meetings, stakeholders, and other engagement signals can be automatically associated with the relevant opportunities and accounts. The platform analyzes this information alongside historical sales patterns to evaluate deal health and estimate the likelihood that an opportunity will close. Revenue teams can use the resulting insights to identify risks, stalled deals, missing contacts, coverage gaps, bottlenecks, and potential expansion opportunities. Stakeholder mapping helps sellers understand the people involved in each buying process and determine whether important decision-makers or influencers are missing. Backstory also generates deal-specific recommendations that suggest possible next steps based on buyer activity and the context surrounding an opportunity. AI sales coaching capabilities can help representatives evaluate their approach and improve execution without relying solely on periodic manager reviews. Sales leaders and revenue operations teams can use forecasting and pipeline management features to compare opportunities, monitor changes, and improve visibility into expected revenue. The platform also supports renewal and retention use cases by applying account activity intelligence to existing customer relationships. Backstory is intended for organizations that want to combine automated sales data capture with AI analysis to improve pipeline management, forecasting, account strategy, opportunity qualification, and day-to-day selling decisions.
