Why teams switch
Why teams choose Dash over Clockwork
An AI assistant that builds the forecast
Build a forecast by hand or let the AI copilot build it with you. It creates assumptions from formulas, growth rates and trend based rules, and answers questions about the numbers in plain English. Every input, rule and output can be reviewed and overridden.
Dashboards that explain the root cause
Most dashboards show that a number moved. Dash explains why, with root cause analysis on every plan and explanations tied back to the underlying figures, so the client conversation starts with the answer.
An advanced KPI builder
Dash surfaces the KPIs that matter for the business and its industry automatically, and the KPI builder lets you define your own, so every client gets the measures they are actually run on.
Pricing that scales with clients, not seats
Dash is priced by the organisations you run, never by seat. Every plan has unlimited users and the full product, so higher plans add organisations and service, not features. Prices are published, billed monthly, with no implementation fee.
