For most Enterprise SaaS companies, recurring revenue from existing customers (renewals and upsells) accounts for 50-70% of total revenue. Understanding this segment of the revenue stream is critical for business continuity, objective planning, and getting ahead of adverse situations such as customer churn.
Customer retention and upsell are also increasingly becoming hot topics. According to our latest 2015 SaaS Metric Report, “SaaS company growth rates are strongly influenced by customer retention and upsell.” For the third year in a row, the survey indicated that the fastest growing SaaS companies have a significantly better record on driving upsell and controlling churn. This comes from better revenue management of existing customers. Typically, forecasting comes into play when determining customer retention and upsell.
How are we doing revenue forecasting today?
When it comes to forecasting of the recurring revenue stream, most companies rely on standard spreadsheets. No doubt spreadsheets are simple and easy to use. But they can be time and labor intensive (especially if you have to go to multiple sources or people for the data), not to mention, error-prone and inaccurate if done incorrectly.
