Challenges

The Client was using Salesforce for customer relationship management and an ERP system for finance and operations. However, both systems operated in silos, leading to inefficiencies and lack of real-time visibility.

  • No real-time data synchronization between Salesforce and ERP
  • Sales teams lacked visibility into inventory, pricing, and order status
  • Finance and operations teams had limited access to customer and sales data
  • Manual data entry across systems causing errors and duplication
  • Delayed reporting and inaccurate forecasting
  • Increased operational overhead due to disconnected systems

This resulted in poor decision-making, delayed order processing, and inconsistent customer experience.
