“Nearly 75 percent of all sales in the world is indirect sales, it is a big market but under-served in terms of technology,” begins Jay McBain, CEO of ChannelEyes. Stressing on the need to leverage latest technology trends, ChannelEyes utilizes the burgeoning trends of mobility and big data, infused in Salesforce Marketing cloud to deliver its platform that focuses on dealers and resellers of an organization. “We work with Salesforce at a senior level around the channel cloud,” he adds. It caters to the industry needs by enabling sales representatives to collaborate with their channel partners for driving success and sales.

With the help of OPTYX—a predictive analytics engine provided by the firm, clients can monitor their partners, people and opportunities, providing real-time sales intelligence to drive more indirect channel revenue.

By installing OPTYX from the Salesforce Appex change, channel sales people will be alerted with the things they need to know, and prioritize when they need to action. Talking to the right partners at the right time about the right things can generate up to 10 percent lift in channel revenue as demonstrated by the firm. As OPTYX employs data science to predict results, the data received from the clients helps in manipulating the algorithms, which goes through simulation processes providing more accuracy to the forecast. “It drives confidence scores in forecasting helping clients to analyze sales situation better,” says McBain.
