Home > Client Success > Eminent Finance Analytical Firm Improved Trust Factor & Reduced Costs with Integrated Salesforce System

Client Profile

The client is a leading finance analytical company in India, providing ratings, research, risk and policy advisory services to its clients.

The Problem

The client was leveraging MS Office, including spreadsheets, to manage the entire sales processes. Be it lead management, client management, finance management and billing, or any other related intermediate steps, all the processes were handled manually, making them prone to errors, labor intensive, time consuming, and tedious to manage and maintain. Moreover, all reports were still generated through MS Excel files without any central data repository which was making data processing inefficient and reports less reliable. It also impacted sales and customer journey since it took a long time to collect and verify the data.

  • Absence of a user-friendly sales enablement platform:
    There was an apparent lack of a unified sales enablement platform as entire sales processes were handled through spreadsheets, which was error-prone, tedious to maintain and vulnerable toward security breaches.
  • High cost-to-service due to inefficient data management:
    The entire business-critical data, including client details, billing and financial details was stored in silos with no central data repository acting as a single source of truth. Therefore, the data retrieval and validation were not on time which was affecting user trust on the brand.
  • Unreliable and limited reporting:
    All reports were generated via MS Excel in silos which limited the scope of analysis of the data for further business insights.
