Revenue Process Mining
| Aspect | Traditional RevOps Analysis | Revenue Process Mining |
|---|---|---|
| Data | Sampled reports | Event-level logs (CRM, product, billing) |
| Output | Static funnel views | Discovered actual paths & bottlenecks |
| Refresh | Monthly/quarterly | Near real-time |
| Actionability | Manual interpretation | Auto-generated fixes and tests |
💡TL;DR
Revenue process mining turns event logs into a live map of how deals really flow. It highlights rework, skipped steps, and stage loops, then suggests fixes and A/B tests. For SMBs, it replaces guesswork dashboards with evidence on where automation will pay off first.
Definition
Applying process mining to revenue data to discover the real buyer journey, detect bottlenecks, and recommend automations that improve conversion and cycle time.
🏢What This Means for SMB Teams
When resources are limited, knowing the exact bottleneck (e.g., legal review loop) directs effort to the highest ROI fix.
📋Practical Example
イベントログをマイニングした結果、デモ後のセキュリティ質問が平均9日停滞していると判明。セキュリティFAQパックを自動送付し、未開封48hでリマインドを送る自動化を追加。サイクルが11.8日→8.6日に短縮し、成約率+3.2pt。
🔧Implementation Steps
- 1
Export event-level logs from CRM/product/billing; standardize timestamps and IDs.
- 2
Run process discovery to map actual paths vs. designed funnel.
- 3
Identify top 3 bottlenecks by frequency × impact.
- 4
Deploy automations/tests targeting those bottlenecks; re-mine monthly.
❓Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need data scientists?
No. Modern tools auto-discover flows; RevOps can operate with templates and light SQL.
How much data volume is required?
A few thousand events per month is sufficient for clear bottlenecks in SMB funnels.

Revenue Orchestration Platform
A unified platform that coordinates signal detection, automated actions, and ROI measurement across the entire revenue cycle. Emerged in Forrester Wave 2024 as a new category.
Revenue Workflow Automation
End-to-end automation of revenue-critical workflows (lead routing, enrichment, follow-up, renewals) across tools, eliminating manual steps and swivel-chairing.
Pipeline Anomaly Detection
Models that continuously scan pipeline data to flag unusual deal patterns—stage stalls, sudden value drops, missing buying roles, unexpected discount or legal requests, competitor mentions, negative sentiment, or long gaps in activity—so teams can intervene before quarter-end. Each deal is benchmarked against healthy cohorts by segment and size, then alerts are routed with a ranked fix to the owner. The aim is to surface slippage weeks early, not during the forecast call.
Revenue Velocity Index
A composite metric that scores pipeline health by weighting deal cycle time, win rate, deal size, and active pipeline per rep. It tracks how fast revenue moves, not just how much exists.
