The Story
Prior to Salesforce solutions, the company managed all of their opportunity and project information with a variety of spaces: homegrown databases and Excel spreadsheets. The primary goal for this project was to increase visibility across the organization and promote cross-team collaboration.
The Challenge
- Defining a seamless Sales and Project Management process
- Adoption of new system and resistance to change from employees
- Automating conversion of won sales deals to active projects
- Structure needed to follow Lead to Account to Opportunity to Contract and allow changes to all levels
Customer Success Solution
- Seamless, consistent Lightning Interface updates to assist with adoption
- Lead and Opportunity Sales Paths highlighting important data for each stage
- Custom Object to capture site information for each account to be used on opportunities
- Approval processes based on opportunity margin
- AppExchange installations:
- Milestones PM
- CalendarAnything
- Visual Flow to auto-create projects based on opportunity data with predefined milestones and tasks
- Visual Flow to create Change Orders based on parent opportunity data
- Sales and Project Management dashboards for individuals and the management team
The Results
The company is now able to manage processes within their Salesforce platform using leads, accounts, opportunities and projects. The Sales and Project Management teams are able to better manage day-to-day activities and management has deeper visibility into their business’ progress.
“From start to finish Ad Victoriam Solutions was helpful, timely with information, and accurate,” said Director of Sales, Scott K. “The entire team was of great assistance.”
The company’s president Tom G. said:
“I would like to echo these sentiments and would add that their team was very quick to pick up on our niche industry from both a perspective of our company terms and how to merge our processes with Salesforce best practices.
Most importantly and unlike most organizations, the AVS team communicated early and often, avoiding surprises with respect to overall project status relative to the hours purchased. We will certainly use Ad Victoriam Solutions again on any area where our needs and their offerings intersect!”
Ultimately, we accomplished the main goal: providing effective and efficient cross-team interactions.
