The public activity above turned into the actions worth taking, each with the reason it was raised.
Offer the service-tracker module and spares stock support
MediumGoogle reviews have slipped to 3.8 over six months, with comments about slow call-outs, so service support and spares availability are the pressure points.

How this would work live. In a live version, company posts would come from an approved social data provider or the customer's own consent, alongside Google reviews, job advert data, Companies House and website news. Links and handles would come from the customer's account record in the ERP, or be picked up automatically from the links on the installer's own website. Personal profiles are never collected.

AI account assessment
Interpretation of the movements above, the possible causes, and the actions the sales team should take.
AI account assessment
Company BC is a developing trade account in Midlands, buying predominantly CCTV and Fire. Over the last 12 months they placed 21 orders worth £191k at 27.9% gross margin (-41.7% year on year). CCTV purchases are down 39.5% year on year, while fire and intruder spend held broadly steady — the surveillance range looks to have moved to another distributor rather than the account closing. The pattern is consistent with a competitive loss on one range, which is recoverable if contacted in the next few weeks.
Possible causes
CCTV purchases are down 39.5% year on year, while fire and intruder spend held broadly steady — the surveillance range looks to have moved to another distributor rather than the account closing.
No order recorded for 99 days, the longest gap in the last two years, which suggests a project pipeline that has not converted.
CCTV fell 39.5% year on year (£156k to £95k), the single largest category movement on the account.
Fire fell 40.5% year on year (£55k to £33k), the single largest category movement on the account.
Intruder fell 46.7% year on year (£49k to £26k), the single largest category movement on the account.
Accessories fell 42.5% year on year (£42k to £24k), the single largest category movement on the account.
Access control is 0.2% of spend against a 7.8% peer average — the range is almost certainly being sourced elsewhere.
Credit status is "Monitor" with 82% of the £57,000 limit in use.
