The initial situation

  • Smartrac has mapped your sales process with connection to SAP in Salesforce and had implemented the sales forecast using a plugin
  • The barely integrated plugin had poor performance and a non-transparent data structure, which could serve operation and evaluation only insufficiently

The solution

  • Creation of an in-house development on force.com, which is seamlessly integrated into the opportunity process and offers transparent administration and evaluation of the stored data
  • For efficient input, the force.com application has been supplemented with an Excel connection, which provides selection and mass processing of sales forecasts

The success

  • Significantly improve performance and adoption of sales planning in Salesforce
  • Improved administration and evaluation of own data and thus quality improvement of forecasting and production planning

Together with entero, we were able to implement our sales forecasting and production planning in a powerful in-house development based on force.com. Our evaluation options and the associated planning reliability have thus improved significantly. [Sonja Dingels, IT Manager Sales Applications, Smartrac Technology]
