Switching

Why teams switch

Spreadsheets break when the team grows, BI tools need an analyst for every question and CRM forecasting stops at the CRM. Keel starts where they stop.

  • Keep your CRM exactly as it is
  • Import historical forecasts
  • A revenue architect runs the switch

FAQ

Switching questions

What teams ask before they move.

Can we keep our existing BI dashboards?

Yes. Keel writes its model to your warehouse, so existing dashboards can read the same numbers.

Will we lose our forecast history?

No. We import past forecasts so trend reports start on day one.

How long does a switch take?

Two weeks for most teams, including the back-test and manager training.

Do reps need to learn a new tool?

No. Reps keep working in the CRM. Managers and RevOps use Keel.
