Prospect-to-cash rebuilt for 600+ users across four divisions

At this scale RevOps is a governance question as much as a process one. The program set common revenue definitions across four global divisions and surfaced the resulting data to the C-suite.

01
Revenue process

A unified prospect-to-cash process spanning four global divisions.

02
Revenue enablement

More than 600 users onboarded to a common way of working.

03
Forecasting & insight

Strategic revenue data surfaced for executive decision-making.

The Challenge

C-suite and key sales and finance executives needed more accurate tracking of existing customer base renewals as well as new prospect business opportunities across four global divisions. The client’s longstanding Salesforce instance suffered from deep and costly legacy integrations with order capture, contracts, and billing systems. Further, in conjunction with order management systems, Salesforce was not optimized to support more streamlined selling activities. Account and related data was predominantly dirty, duplicative, and inaccurate, leading to a pervasiveness of one-off spreadsheets which impacted the accuracy of data reported out of Salesforce. It was critical that the business find a way to surface data more rapidly to prevent a potentially damaging period of attrition.
