Every week, revenue teams across manufacturing and enterprise sectors gather to review pipelines, adjust targets, and manage risks. But week after week, the same problem stalls progress: forecasting is too slow, too manual, and too disconnected.

It’s not that your team lacks data - you already have Salesforce as your system of record. It’s that Salesforce alone wasn’t built for live what-if scenario planning.

This is where Valorx Wave fits in.

Wave is a spreadsheet-style interface that lets you simulate pipeline changes, pricing shifts, territory realignments, and headcount adjustments—inside Salesforce, with live data and zero disruption.

Why manufacturing revenue teams struggle with forecasting in Salesforce

Even in high-performing revenue teams, forecasting in Salesforce follows a painfully familiar pattern:

In manufacturing environments, where pricing changes, demand shifts, and regional nuances move quickly, slow forecasting equals missed opportunities and delayed decisions.

The Solution: What-if scenario planning inside Salesforce

Valorx Wave brings what Salesforce doesn’t: live, interactive scenario modeling, embedded directly inside your Salesforce org.

• No exports
• No uploads
• No disconnected spreadsheets
• Just fast, flexible, and scalable what-if modeling—right where your pipeline lives.

How to run what-if scenarios in Salesforce with Wave

With Valorx Wave, answering strategic questions becomes simple and immediate:

✅ What if this $1M deal in EMEA slips to next quarter?
✅ What happens if we increase pricing on our APAC product line by 4%?
✅ How would hiring 3 new reps in Q4 impact pipeline coverage by territory?

With Wave, you don’t need to export to a spreadsheet or build separate models. You can run what-if scenarios directly inside Salesforce, in real time, using live data.

What makes Wave different from using Salesforce alone

Salesforce gives you powerful reporting and forecasting tools, but it wasn’t designed for live modeling or interactive scenario planning.

When you try to answer "what if" questions—like shifting close dates, adjusting probabilities, or increasing deal sizes—teams often resort to spreadsheets outside the system. This creates delays, disconnected models, and more risk.

Valorx Wave bridges that gap. Here's a side-by-side view of how forecasting scenarios work in standard Salesforce workflows vs. within Wave:

Why Wave works so well inside Salesforce

Why revenue teams in manufacturing rely on Wave

Different roles, same frustration: disconnected forecasting. Here’s how Valorx Wave changes the game for key personas:

• CROs can test pipeline risks live.
• COOs can assess headcount plans instantly.

Let us show you how leading manufacturing revenue teams run what-if scenarios inside Salesforce—without ever touching a spreadsheet.
