Forecasting isn’t guesswork — it’s data-driven strategy. This video outlines key performance indicators (KPIs) agencies should track to evaluate the effectiveness of their forecasting: demand trends, client growth rate, caregiver utilization, churn rate, revenue per client, and cost-to-serve.
When monitored consistently, these metrics help fine-tune operations and guide growth. Home-care software that tracks and visualises KPIs empowers agencies to make informed decisions.
