Client Retools With Salesforce CPQ & Billing, Other Key Managed Packages
Industry: Technology
Services: Cloud Security
CLIENT BACKGROUND
The client, an enterprise-level managed detection and response cloud security company, need to refactor their Quote to Cash systems to stay on the leading edge of their industry
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
- The client had 50+ quoting errors per month, the result of a significantly bloated and complicated product catalog.
- The client spent over 24 hours per month on invoice reconciliation, due to significant manual processes as well as the need to accommodate a complicated account and partner structure.
- They had a quote creation time of approximately 20 minutes per quote, the result of limited systems continuity and redundant data points.
- The company had spent an average of 80 hours per month on manual billing efforts, due to limited systems continuity, redundant data points, and time spent putting together reports to support the process.
- The client had made a business decision to migrate away from the Zuora billing system utilizing a very aggressive timeline.
- With Zuora, they had very limited support for both automated payments and revenue recognition use cases.
