Client challenges
The client faced several issues because one business unit was still using SAP C/4 HANA, while the rest had moved to a shared Salesforce organization. This caused process gaps, data issues, and delays in sales operations.
Key challenges included:
- Disconnected systems: Opportunities, quotes, and forecasts were stuck in SAP C4, making it difficult to obtain a comprehensive view across teams.
- Inconsistent data: Disconnected systems led to quality gaps and integrity issues, slowing operations.
- Missing forecasting tools: The use of two separate environments limited visibility and resulted in inaccurate forecasts.
- Slow quoting process: Creating customer-facing documents was more difficult in C4 because, unlike Salesforce, it didn’t offer standard templates or automatic updates.
- Hard to scale: Without a shared quoting and forecasting process, it was not easy to grow or align sales operations across business units.
Solution
LevelShift enabled org consolidation and a seamless migration, ensuring data integrity and preventing future quality issues. We strengthened forecasting with a monthly delivery tracking tool and streamlined quoting with integrated Sales Org details and bilingual Conga Composer templates.
