The American manufacturer, a pioneer in lawn and garden attachments, specializing in products like lawn sweepers and spreaders, aimed to enhance the beauty of homeowners’ lawns.
The primary challenges stemmed from the lack of a centralized CRM system. Sales and Customer Care operated disjointedly, managing tasks through a combination of emails, spreadsheets, and manual efforts. The absence of internal business automation resulted in inefficient processes, hindering key business functions. Additionally, the single customer care channel via phone limited customer support accessibility, while time-intensive reporting processes and disparate customer data in legacy systems further compounded the challenges.
To address these challenges, the company embarked on a comprehensive transformation journey. In a remarkable feat, we successfully implemented Sales, Service, and Experience Clouds within an impressive five-month timeline. Leveraging Salesforce’s Lightning UI, the system was configured from scratch, providing a unified platform for seamless integration.
The implementation included the introduction of business automation, featuring approvals, task creation, and process builder functionalities. This eliminated the need for outdated practices such as emailing files and updating shared documents, ushering in a new era of operational efficiency.
A pivotal addition was the customer care portal, incorporating Knowledge, Email to Case, and a Chat Bot. This not only facilitated case deflection but also significantly improved internal team efficiencies, offering customers multiple channels for support.
In addition, Salesforce Reporting and Dashboards were integrated, providing advanced reporting capabilities on CRM, forecasting, and inventory data. This was complemented by ERP integration, enabling the company to generate visually appealing and effective reports seamlessly.
The implementation yielded transformative outcomes for the company. With a unified CRM system in place, the need for manual and outdated processes was eradicated. The introduction of business automation streamlined operations, enabling smoother collaboration and communication within the organization.

The integration of Salesforce Reporting and Dashboards, coupled with ERP integration, empowered the company with insightful, visually appealing reports on CRM, forecasting, and inventory data.
