AI in sales: steering on your existing CRM Sales figures without the detour through spreadsheets
The CRM offers hardly any analysis. Sales figures are put together in spreadsheets. Requests and quotes pile up with a few specialists. We pull the KPIs straight from your CRM and automate the pre-checks, so your sales team works from one shared view.

DataClue applies AI and analytics in sales: sales KPIs come straight from your existing CRM, with no system change and no manual spreadsheet analysis, including on mobile. Requests are classified and routed, and quotes are pre-checked against standards and checklists. Your sales team still decides on price, risk and customer commitments. Every system decision is logged.
