Case Studies

One of the key players in the plumbing industry adopts Salesforce platform to bring Consistency, Efficiency and effectiveness into business processes throughout local and international operations. SAP and other systems were integrated with Salesforce to have consistent project quoting throughout the organization and provide exceptional after sales service to wholesalers and customers.

Use Case:

Prior to the engagement, this plumbing industry giant did not have any unified system to generate quotes due to which every salesperson used to provide inconsistent quotes to the customers. This was bringing a huge challenge of keeping consistency of quotes throughout the organization. This was also bringing challenges for the service team due to which after sales service was compromised. The downstream effects include unsatisfied customers with different price quotes, compromising on quality service and no data to market and expand the business.

From nearly scrapping Salesforce to full adoption across the entire organization, see how we helped a global manufacturing leader completely embrace the power of the platform across five different clouds.

Use Case:

We were introduced to this household name manufacturing company back in 2015 after they had a failed Salesforce implementation with another System Integrator. Our first order of business was to re-implement Salesforce along with creating a real time integration with their SAP system. Fast forward to today and we have successfully implemented over 50 projects, 5 Salesforce Clouds, upgraded their instance to Lightning and have had full time resources there supporting their Salesforce practice for 8 years.

Before we stepped in, this company was grappling with a fragmented data environment. Their sales and service teams had to rely on countless spreadsheets, and as you can imagine, this was not only tedious but also prone to errors. This lack of a unified data source meant they were unable to provide a cohesive customer experience, with sales and service teams often operating in silos.

  • Pardot

Technologies integrated

  • SAP via Dell Boomi

Our solution? We integrated their SAP system into Salesforce using Dell Boomi as a middleware right off the bat. This had immediate and powerful effects. Our relationship expanded from there with not only 40+ projects completed to date but several other 3rd party integrations and 4 other Salesforce clouds completed along the way.

Centralization of Key Business Data: We channeled vital B2B accounts, customer data, order and quote information from SAP to Salesforce. This integration effectively put an end to the manual data scouring and ensured that all the necessary information was available at the teams’ fingertips, inside a single platform.

Enhanced Sales Process: Armed with this centralized data, their sales teams were now able to access real-time, accurate information. This sped up the sales process and improved the efficiency of the team as a whole.

Improved Customer Support: The integration also enhanced the service team’s ability to provide support. Having direct access to comprehensive customer data, including their purchase history and interactions, meant they could provide personalized and efficient service, boosting customer satisfaction.

Global manufacturer for surfacings solutions struggled with no real ability to see a 360 degree view of the business.

Use Case:

Formica Group is a leading provider of branded, designed surfacing solutions for commercial and residential customers worldwide. Formica is an iconic brand inextricably linked to the invention of the original High Pressure Laminate. Like most multicountry worldwide brands, there was a litany of systems all siloed from one another and not sharing data. Each country had a different system, which from an IT perspective, caused great difficulty in maintaining each system. Lack of visibility into the company’s overall pipeline provided additional challenges. Forecasts would often take days to create and the sales teams have little to no insight into customer interactions; Sales Reps also did not have access to information to be proactive and engaging with customers.
