The Sapours Solution

To implement these plans, the client got in touch with Sapours.

Since we had already helped the client with ERP implementation, they gave us the responsibility to streamline their sales and customer service processes. We helped them implement the following Salesforce solutions to achieve the desired objectives:

  • Salesforce Sales Cloud Lead Management

    We implemented the lead management functionality to track the entire journey from lead capture to closing deals. It enabled the client to evaluate the effectiveness of their sales and marketing campaigns, automate lead scoring, and increase the chances of converting leads into opportunities.

  • Opportunity Management

    We implemented Salesforce’s opportunity management functionality to help the client gain more visibility into their sales pipeline, identify opportunities, and improve the existing business development process to increase sales.

  • Customer Visit Tracking

    We configured the customer visit feature to help the sales team log and track customer visits without hassle.

  • Salesforce Case Management

    We configured Salesforce’s case management feature to ensure that the customer service team had access to a centralized platform that provides all the information related to the customer’s complaints and queries. This enabled them to quickly track, monitor, and resolve customer complaints without switching between multiple applications.

  • Sales Forecasting

    We ensured the client had access to the latest customer and sales data to predict sales, set targets for the team, and track progress from a single platform. This helped the client make accurate forecasts for future quarters and design their sales strategies to achieve them.

These solutions were implemented for the unique business workflows and processes at the client’s end. Besides implementing the above Salesforce solutions, we also provided value-add services like:

  • Generating reports and interactive dashboards for visualizing data
  • Integrating Salesforce solutions with Gmail to capture the leads and customer details in a unified system
  • Building a Salesforce mobile app to facilitate the sales team to close deals from anywhere using a mobile phone
