  • Requirements

    Consolidation of customer data management across the world

    HAWE manages its customers through the sales network, service network and engineering network from 16 national subsidiaries in Europe, North America and Asia. Cultural diversities were therefore reflected in heterogeneous customer data management: The Spectrum ranged from manual maintenance of data in excel lists till the deployment of the CRM-system based in Germany, Switzerland and USA.
    As a result, data records were stored inconsistently in different systems. For a long time, it was not possible to completely map and support the customer-oriented business processes. Thus, HAWE searched for a central CRM-platform for all national subsidiaries. The objective was to create a comprehensive view of the customers and standardize the Sales processes worldwide.

  • Solution

    Salesforce Sales Cloud as central CRM-platform

    The technology evaluation for selecting CRM-platform was clearly Salesforce Sales Cloud. Within 10 months, roll-out was performed in first six national subsidiaries: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy, France and the USA. The distribution processes to be mapped were centrally defined, followed by the introduction and customization of Salesforce Sales Cloud. In order to support the customer processes even beyond system boundaries, the new CRM-platform was integrated in the existing IT-infrastructure: This includes the connection to the existing ERP-systems SAP ECC and Microsoft NAV, Management Information System MIS onVision as well as Microsoft Outlook and Sharepoint. Roll-out is distributed in the remaining national subsidiaries as well as the application of marketing automation and campaign management is planned in the next step.
