Business Situation
Northwire was looking to add functionality of Manufacturing Cloud to give their team greater visibility into their Sales Agreements. They also determined that they needed a highly custom Sales Cloud setup requiring a custom-built Opportunity Score model to help the sales team prioritize their efforts.
Solution
Northwire turned to SpringML to help scope the project to meet their requirements. The SpringML team assessed and suggested a two phase approach. Phase 1 was to include a Manufacturing Cloud implementation, a Competitor Dashboard in Tableau CRM and a custom Opportunity Scoring predictive model in Einstein Discovery.
Phase 1
Implement Manufacturing Cloud
- Set up Manufacturing Cloud to enhance Sales Cloud
- Imported Sales Order History
- Set up Sales Agreements with Products, Orders and Contracts, to provide greater visibility into forecast, actuals and variances
Sales Analytics and Manufacturing Analytics App
- Set up and customized Sales and Manufacturing Analytics templated apps
- Competitor Dashboard
Implement Sales Cloud Einstein and Custom Opportunity Score
- Sales Cloud Einstein (enabling Opportunity and Lead insights)
- Custom Opportunity Scoring model in Einstein Discovery (focused on likelihood to reach Prototype, Quote and Production Order stages)
Results
Northwire was pleased with the work the SpringML team delivered. Now, the Northwire teams have an increased view into historical Sales Orders and the Sales team have better visibility into their Sales Agreements (terms, forecast, actual, revenue and variances).
Future phases will build on this initial Manufacturing Cloud use case. This will include refining and building additional Opportunity Score models to address Northwire’s numerous Opportunity stages, additional analytics use cases, and deployment of Manufacturing Cloud to the rest of the organization. Northwire is looking forward to a valuable working relationship with SpringML to address future phases.
