Situation

A global manufacturing firm had been utilizing disparate systems to manage its sales and quote-to cash processes, which resulted in replication of information across systems. Though its Customer Portal included a Self-Service Quoting feature, the data required to support the process was extremely difficult to maintain. Non-intuitive tools were difficult and time-consuming to use.
The company sought a best-of-breed solution to replace its legacy systems, which suffered from:

  • Difficulty locating cohesive customer, product and pricing data
  • Significant delays and inaccuracies when creating customer proposals
  • Tools that were difficult and time-consuming to use
  • Lack of integration between systems
