Now live: Insights to get Product reporting and Forecast reporting
UPDATE - it's live 🚀
Products in insights
----
Our team continues working full-steam ahead to make Insights live to its full potential. 💪
The next improvements in line should be the ability to create reports including Products, and to create forecast reports.
These two will cover much-asked and much-needed options for our users to make the most of their reporting, making it more flexible and more informative.
A peek of what's on the horizon:
- View and segment reports by deal Products
- Measure by number of Products and value
- Create Revenue Forecast reports in Insights
➡️ Learn more about Insights from our Knowledge Base and our Academy.
➡️ Pro tip: Join our Research and Beta Testing channel for the chance to try out early versions of new and improved features.
📝 Please note 📝
Pipedrive reserves the right to modify and update the features in the What's planned? topic and does not communicate exact timelines for delivery.

The forecast report was here in the past - why is it gone?? This was the main reason I went for the enterprise plan...

Hi @Urs Blickenstorfer !
We are transitioning it from the "old Reports" section the new one, Insights, but the Forecast Report option will remain in Professional only. My apologies if the wording was misleading.

@Inês Batata : Hi Ines, so what is the roll-out date? Desperately waiting...

Best is to switch back to the old UI - there the report is still available.

Hi @Roland Schare !
No ETA at the moment, as we prefer not to give out any forecasts this early on. They're in progress and we hope to deliver them over the next coming weeks/months. However, there's lots of moving pieces that can sometimes speed up or delay delivery so we'd rather be on the safe side with making promises, I hope you understand.
We'll make sure to announce them here in the Community as we know they're highly-anticipated and we're eager to deliver too.

Hi Ines, it would be nice to have the possibility to report also on contacts within the reporting area.
Ex:Tot Contacts from Source x;
Tot Contacts assigned to Division y;
The analysis of the contacts and therefore the customer base based only on filters in the contact area are not performing.
Thx

LuigiHi @Luigi Sghinolfi , thank you for your feedback!
As a workaround I would suggesting exporting the results of those Contact filters to a spreadsheet and generating your reports from there.
Alternatively, take a look at the Analytics integrations available in our marketplace, as they allow you to extract data from Pipedrive and create other types of reports. I did a quick search for you, take a look here.
Currently there are no direct plans for developing this, but the team noted down your suggestion for when they'll work on updates again.

Cant wait for the product reports in InSights - great news. Just hope they come before you switch off the old UI!

I read somewhere this is being switched off in October - I'm hoping not!!!

Hi @Jason Webb ! Only the "old navigation" is planned to be switched off in October.

Hi Ines - but that is where the old products report is and if this is not developed in Insights before it is switched off then I wont be able to report on my sales teams product sales...

Surely Pipedrive can give an ETA on this? This is really poor considering our entire organization is on the enterprise licensing

Hi @Ferrin Govender !
Both of these are in progress and we hope to deliver them over the next coming weeks/months.
We avoid giving out ETAs because experience shows us that even the best-laid plans can turn out to be very fickle: there's lots of moving pieces that can sometimes speed up or delay delivery so we'd rather be on the safe side with making promises, I hope you understand.
We don't want to build up hopes that we know can turn into disappointment, hence the lack of hard dates in these announcements

@Jason Webb I totally understand your worry. I can tell you that won't happen, expect good news regarding it shortly.

I have been asking for this feature as well for some time now. We really need to have a product forecast to schedule production. I ended up developing my own application, based on the API, that will:
- look for all products in pipedrive
- list all deals that contain one or more of these products (or a selection of products)
- check every deal for certain attributes ("open", not deleted, pipelineID, check for duplicates)
- generates an Excel report with a quarterly forecast for a chosen number of years, listing all selected products and the number of products.
- It takes into account the deal probability, stage probability and expected closing date.
We use it in our company and we can finally do a product based analysis.

Great solution you built using our API @Ingo Stijntjes !
There should be exciting news about Products overall next year, but we can't promise anything yet.

Hi 👋 is there a way I can do an insights report for all products sold in a month?
Right now its only giving me an option to view a single product and all I need is a quick breakdown of products sold

Hi @Ferrin Govender !
All you need to do is add a condition to your report that says "Product > is any of > list your products here" and it should do the trick

Hi @Ingo Stijntjes , Can I ask how you did this? Will this bring in product fields such as product name, Variations, qty of product? And Custom Fields? Some of our deals have more than one product, so it can be unclear about total qty when there could be several products making up this total quantity.
I am not sure if there is any other work around to this? Thanks!

Hi Georgia,
I used the API provided by Pipedrive (https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/). You have all the tools to implements almost any custom tool. In my case I leveraged the deal, pipeline and product stage to come to a solution. All product data is available, even custom fields (for which you'll need some more API calls). I didn't use product variations yet, I can find references to variations, so I think these are all accessible through the API.

Thanks so much @Ingo Stijntjes !
Do you know if there is a guide like API for dummies? LOL
As I haven't used anything like this before so do you think it can be picked up / learned, relitively easily by someone new to this area?

Hi Georgia,
There is a lot of information available about interfacing with web API's, but the complexity lies in learning a programming language you feel comfortable with and be able to do the data processing in there. If you have no programming experience I would start there, but honestly you might be some time away from creating an application.
If you have, for example, python experience search for "using rest API in python" or similar. Pipedrive provides PHP programming examples and a PHP and node.js client library.
If you want to know more you can contact me here: info at stingvision dot com

Is there any way a report can be done that will calculate the gross profit per item sold? I am looking for a report that is basically able to show me revenue sold in a month, gross profit per item and a total gross profit report?

Hi @Ferrin Govender !
If you create the respective custom fields in Pipedrive use one of the integration platforms available in our marketplace I believe you'll be able to do so, as they allow you to process data outside the scope of our own native features.

Any update on the possibility to do a (weighted) forecast report by different products?
