Our take
For the modern companies, it is vital to make data-based decisions when planning strategy, but legacy systems are not designed to make sense of the vast pools of data that today's organizations generate. Drivetrain supplies a strategic finance platform to help teams make effective, data-backed decisions, empowering them to act as a strategic partner to leadership as they bring predictability to growth.
With planning, monitoring, and foresight tools, Drivetrain is a one-stop-shop for building clear and effective business plans. Users are able to visualise current strategy, track how certain factors are affecting things, and - most importantly - predict what decisions will have the greatest effect on future outcomes. All this means that users can identify problems quickly and course-correct before minor issues have major effects.
Having secured funding, Drivetrain is looking to expand its go-to-market team and double down on product development. The company already serves some interesting clients, such as digital adoption platform Whatfix, and market-leading sales readiness platform Mindtickle.
