Drivepoint’s Vision, Plan, and Expectations for 2025

As a strategic financial forecasting platform, we’re good at predicting the future — it’s what we do best.

We’ve run all the conceivable scenarios based on our most ambitious assumptions, and here’s what we’ve determined will happen in 2025.

Beyond dollars: Unit analysis for even more visibility

Soon, Drivepoint’s engineers will tackle the next job — creating projections and forecasts per unit, just as we’ve done with financial metrics.

Unit projections will impact operations by helping you see around even more corners ahead. You’ll be able to view inventory, supply chain needs, demand planning, and advertising data to uncover more possibilities.

The more non-financial information you have, the more you can bring departments together to work cross-functionally. Unit metrics can show you inventory management opportunities, sell-through rate changes, customer behavior, and even store layout optimization — areas typically handled by team members across multiple departments. Aligning groups around shared goals can do wonders for your organization’s cohesive spirit and performance.

Intelligence that surpasses obvious pain points

In 2024, we built foundational functionalities that serve as a launch pad for increasingly sophisticated capabilities, including purposeful AI in finance.

Until now, AI use cases have applied more to language puzzles than numbers. The New York Times said it best: “A.I. Can Write Poetry, but It Struggles With Math.” What the journalists are missing, however, is AI’s recent and ongoing logical maturation. By combining AI’s new capabilities with macroeconomic developments that impact leaders' assumptions, we make scenario planning even better. Instead of dozens of variables, you'll have access to hundreds.

Many of these variables — and thus, outputs — will be within your influence as a leader. For example, you’ll understand when to cut costs internally and how to replace outdated experiments that put profits at risk. With this insight, you might choose to make more strategic moves, like boosting AOV and LTV by passing along savings to your customers. The best part? You’ll be eyes-wide-open regarding all potential outcomes.

Until now, technology has simply addressed common struggles and pain points. But the intelligence we’re building in 2025 will answer questions no one has thought to ask.

A Fortune 500 partner

In 2025, we expect to sign a contract with a Fortune 500 partner or two — and we’ll provide the useful, relevant, and reliable insights they need to land their own big fish.

A roster of industry giants reveals platform maturity. These partnerships show that our product and team have passed intense scrutiny, competing side-by-side with leaders in various categories and eventually coming out on top. But working with high-profile user teams does more than just reveal our solution’s robust capabilities — it also creates more by inspiring new features and helping us improve existing ones.

Our platform is already part of the daily decision-making process for various startups and scaleups — and we’ll always relish the opportunity to serve the original user group that brought us here. But expanding to serve larger organizations as a segment is a strategic move (instead of a regional, industry, or product expansion) revealed to us as a unique, ripe opportunity by our own scenario planning efforts.

This point isn’t the sale itself — it’s the meaning behind the partnership. Instead of telling the world, it shows the world:

• Our platform’s functionalities, maturity, and scalability
• Our unparalleled team commitment to quality customer service
• Our reputation for transforming the finance function into a competitive advantage

Drivepoint is a platform capable of serving Fortune 500 teams, integrating with their current tech stacks, and navigating their procedural complexities. Just wait until you can see it for yourself.

Our last look-ahead was 100% accurate — and we expect the same for 2025

In January of 2024, we bravely said we would:

• Launch our Amazon integration
• Provide you with fully contextualized wholesale data in real-time
• Deliver new FP&A insights with powerful AI
• Give you native reporting for all the data you need at a glance

Big goals — and we executed every one. With our powerful prediction engines, why not make even bolder promises this year? You can forecast with the same confidence we have at Drivepoint. To see how, book a personalized demo today.
