AI signals
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 2.9 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 BG is a developing trade account in Yorkshire & North East, buying predominantly CCTV and Intruder. Over the last 12 months they placed 31 orders worth £124k at 29.6% gross margin (-66.4% year on year). CCTV purchases are down 65.5% 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 65.5% 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 190 days, the longest gap in the last two years, which suggests a project pipeline that has not converted.
CCTV fell 65.5% year on year (£142k to £49k), the single largest category movement on the account.
Fire fell 65.7% year on year (£40k to £14k), the single largest category movement on the account.
Intruder fell 67.7% year on year (£69k to £22k), the single largest category movement on the account.
Access Control fell 67.1% year on year (£53k to £17k), the single largest category movement on the account.
Only 1 proposals raised through the Installer Portal in 12 months, so the design pipeline is no longer visible to the sales team.
