Our story
01
The Challenge
Our client faced the challenge of quickly and accurately identifying changing customer needs and matching them with the most suitable offers. The sales team required in-depth technical knowledge, comprehensive product expertise, and up-to-date pricing information to effectively collaborate with customers. With increasing product complexity, more frequent product launches, and evolving customer demands, efficient knowledge sharing—both internally and with customers—became essential.
To maintain its market leadership, the client sought a unified, data-driven approach to optimize customer consulting and streamline the entire sales process. The solution needed to improve sales efficiency and enhance the customer experience, while ensuring a rapid return on investment—all while adhering to strict budget constraints.

Our Solution
To address the client’s challenges, we developed a data-driven solution utilizing Salesforce's Sales Cloud, Data Cloud and AI capabilities.
Sales Cloud was chosen to automate the sales process, integrate data from various systems, and provide real-time insights into customer needs. This reduced manual tasks, accelerated proposal preparation, and fostered better team collaboration, as well as faster onboarding.
Data Cloud centralized all customer and product data, providing a unified view that enabled informed decision-making. By eliminating fragmented data sources, scalability and efficiency were also improved.
AI capabilities improved the customer experience through personalized interactions, virtual consultations via ChatBot, and data-driven product recommendations.
This solution created the foundation for a streamlined, connected sales process, enabling automation, personalized customer interactions, and future scalability.
