A Global Energy-Storage Manufacturer leverages Salesforce Integration with Insightsfirst to power its commercial strategy 


Summary

Evalueserve has been helping a global manufacturer in the energy-storage industry in building and managing a cloud-based portal that assembled competitive information, created briefs on leading companies and assessed market changes that helped to fill in blind spots and complement their understanding of emerging trends.   

 As part of the original contract, the insights were on an ad hoc basis over a 5-year span. The client recognized the value added from the ad hoc insight projects we completed over the years and sought to further improve their insights by implementing a centralized platform that could integrate with Salesforce and improve their sales team ability to create competitive bids on site.  

 The client wanted a simple but comprehensive competitive intelligence on both global and regional competitors that allowed global access across the company, quick access to insights and analysis and profiles that gave sales and marketing teams insights on competitor positioning, supply, strategy and more.   

Key components our client wanted from a centralized platform was the ability to test and validate hypotheses, ask key questions, improve collaboration, and integrate with existing software and products.
