The challenge

Centralizing data on a single platform

Bulley & Andrews had been following a disciplined documentation process to record all customer interactions and essential data to each project. However, as the customer base and project volume grew, so too did the related information. Data resided on multiple platforms making it more difficult to manage and access. This created a number of difficult challenges:

challenge 1 - Disconnected communication

Disconnected communication Resulting from multiple spreadsheets, software platforms, and notes from in-person meetings.

challenge 2 - Lack of client interaction tracking

Lack of client interaction tracking Improper tracking methods made it difficult to effectively follow up on new leads and provide proper client support.

challenge 3 - Operational inefficiency

Operational inefficiency Too much time was being spent by staff inputting data and creating repetitive communications across team members responsible for documenting project needs, leads, and sales.

The Solution

Implementing Salesforce Sales Cloud

After assessing Bulley & Andrews’ situation and needs, Apexon recommended and deployed Salesforce Sales Cloud to help the firm increase its sales productivity and customer support.

With Salesforce Sales Cloud, Apexon was able to integrate Bulley & Andrews’ current sales process seamlessly into the platform, allowing employees the simplicity and ease of creating their own accounts with related contacts and projects. It also enables team members to view information input by other team members creating a unified experience across the company. Users can create, track, and complete activities for their related projects, too.

Apexon integrated Bulley & Andrews’ new instance of Salesforce with its existing Procore project management software system. Procore is used enterprise-wide to communicate construction drawings, estimates billings, and questions. The integration with Sales Cloud enables users to focus their time on projects rather than redundant administrative tasks and data inputs.

The Sales Cloud implementation also introduced a new structured lead process. Employees can now create leads and document relevant information in the same system of record. Once the lead is qualified, it can seamlessly be converted into an account, contact, and/or project.

The overall impact of the Salesforce Cloud Implementation includes:

Solution - Enterprise-wide visibility
