Sales Data Extraction Agent
Sales teams that run on spreadsheets often lose hours a week to manually pulling MTD, YTD, and year-end numbers out of files that change format from rep to rep or region to region. This service automates that extraction: monitoring source spreadsheets for updates and pulling standardized sales metrics on a schedule, regardless of how inconsistently the underlying files are structured. It's for sales operations teams still manually compiling numbers from Excel who need the metrics without the manual pull every single reporting cycle. You get accurate, standardized sales metrics delivered automatically, freeing up the hours currently spent copying numbers between files.
This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.
