About the client
Our client is a leading manufacturer of high-performance CCD and CMOS image sensors, camera modules, and imaging subsystems used across aerospace, medical, scientific, and industrial automation applications. With a large product portfolio and growing pricing complexity, the organization wanted to modernize its pricing and quoting process by replacing legacy tools with a scalable Salesforce-native solution.
Client challenges
The client’s pricing and quoting process relied on a SharePoint-based Excel tool that operated separately from Salesforce. Pricing updates, approvals, and quote creation required manual effort, making it difficult to maintain speed, accuracy, and consistency across the sales process. As the business expanded its product portfolio, the existing approach could no longer support the organization’s growing operational needs.
The following challenges were identified:
- Manual pricing and quoting: Pricing updates, approvals, and quote creation relied on manual entry and cross-checking.
- Disconnected systems: The SharePoint-based Excel tool was not integrated with Salesforce, resulting in disconnected processes.
- Limited pricing flexibility: The existing solution could not support multi-currency pricing or configurable product bundles.
- Lack of standardized approvals: Pricing approvals followed manual processes with limited governance.
- Scalability constraints: Managing pricing across more than 1,100 active products became increasingly difficult using legacy tools.
- Limited visibility and control: The organization needed a more governed and auditable pricing process to support daily business operations.
Solution
To modernize pricing and quoting, LevelShift implemented a Salesforce Revenue Cloud solution that replaced legacy tools with a centralized, scalable platform. The solution streamlined pricing management, automated approvals, and simplified quote generation while providing greater visibility and governance across the entire quoting process.
The following solutions were implemented:
- Centralized pricing management: Replaced the legacy SharePoint-based pricing tool with Salesforce Revenue Cloud to create a single source of truth for pricing.
