Alteryx runs AI-powered revenue operations with Clari, achieving 30-40% time savings

The problem

Alteryx's revenue operations relied on spreadsheet-based forecasting, manual territory planning, and inconsistent CRM data hygiene, creating blind spots and reactive deal management that left strategic planning misaligned with reality.

First attempt

CRM-based forecasting with static, manually submitted field reports could not manage the complexity of Alteryx's multi-geography revenue operations, and at-risk deals were consistently discovered too late to save.
