Powering Stronger Customer Relationships
SALESFORCE IMPLEMENTATION
INTRODUCTION
Successful implementation of a comprehensive Salesforce CPQ solution.The Client, a leading distributor of wire and cables for the telecom, factory automation, and building industries, had grown significantly. However, their legacy systems remained siloed, hindering growth and visibility.
CHALLENGE
-
Disparate Systems: Each acquired company operated on its own ERP system (Oracle EBS, Rubicon, Epicor P21, S2K) with a total of 20 instances.
-
Data Inconsistency: Product information, pricing, and inventory levels differed across systems, creating data silos and inefficiencies.
-
Limited Visibility: Lack of a centralized platform hampered strategic sales growth and service visibility across the enterprise.
SOLUTION
-
ERP Integration: We seamlessly integrated four disparate ERPs into a single Salesforce Corporate instance. This included real-time synchronization of critical data like item master, price books, costs, and inventory levels.
-
Salesforce Migration: A highly customized version of Salesforce was carefully migrated into the new Salesforce Corporate platform.
-
Salesforce CPQ Deployment: We deployed Salesforce CPQ, enabling the Client to configure, price, and quote products directly from Salesforce, regardless of the original ERP system.
-
Jitterbit Integration: Jitterbit, an integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS), facilitated smooth communication between Salesforce and the various ERPs.
RESULTS
-
Unified Platform: Consolidated systems into a single, centralized platform (Salesforce Corporate), eliminating data silos and streamlining operations.
-
Improved Data Accuracy: Real-time data synchronization ensured consistent product information, pricing, and inventory levels across all ERPs.
-
Enhanced Sales Efficiency: Streamlined quoting process led to faster turnaround times and improved sales team productivity.
-
Increased Visibility: Sales teams gained clear visibility into product availability and overall sales performance across the enterprise.
-
Revenue Growth Potential: The solution positioned the Client to achieve the projected 5-10% revenue increase through enhanced quoting accuracy and improved sales opportunities.
