The Challenge

The Challenge

The lack of a common sales and marketing system made it difficult to manage the global funnel, forecast sales, and leverage customer data across teams operating in different markets.

The sales process relied primarily on the knowledge and experience of local teams. The lack of a central CRM limited the ability to continuously monitor the pipeline and analyze sales globally. Forecasting was time-consuming, with salespeople devoting approximately two business days per month to it. Sales and marketing data remained fragmented, and the organization lacked a comprehensive customer view or a coherent way to analyze forecasts and execution.

No global CRM

Local teams were working without a single system to manage their funnel and sales.

Time-consuming forecasts

Salespeople spent about two days a month preparing sales forecasts.

Scattered data

Data from CRM, ERP and marketing was not available in a single, consistent view.

✦
Results

Better forecasts, a complete customer picture and more effective sales.
