Today, we’re delighted to announce the release of a “holy grail” feature, which has been asked for by our customers and prospects for many years – Unified Salesforce Analytics.
Salesforce is the most expensive CRM product in the market. Companies of all sizes decide to buy it because of its immense customizability and reporting capabilities. They buy into the vision of delivering highly personalized, hyper-efficient customer experiences at every stage of their scale. However, few of them ever succeed at this, because the Salesforce product is not natively built to answer the questions today’s data driven sales teams have.
As a result, these companies have to look elsewhere to solve the problem through “build, buy or hack” approaches, that have led to a bloated sales stack that looks like this:
How big is this problem? According to IDC…
The average company invests an additional $3.2 for every $1 they spend on Salesforce. This is expected to go up to $5 by 2025 according to IDC.
And this trend couldn’t come at a worse time, when companies are dealing with the fall out of COVID-19 and trying to retain their workforce by cutting costs.
So what’s the solution?
Our enterprise customers did just fine with the “build/buy/hack” approach because they had large human/tech resources… but what about everyone else?
Our mid-market customers didn’t have the same level of resources, and were constantly coming to us with questions on how to best leverage the data that we were generating. While we built out more and more integrations into their sales tools (hoping that someone else would solve the problem), these customers kept coming back to us saying they weren’t satisfied with these third party reporting tools.
Do we build it ourselves?
So we naturally asked ourselves, “do we have to build this?”. It was something that we really didn’t want to do because a) we didn’t want to add ANOTHER expense to our customers and b) there were enough people out there ‘solving’ this problem, and it seemed hard to believe that we could do better.
Then it hit us.
Why not just fix Salesforce?
We knew better than anyone what customers wanted to get out of their funnel analytics, and we knew the limitations of Salesforce. So we wondered – can we use Salesforce’s infinite customizability to just fix its limitations? And after a year of research, we found a solution that would allow us to do exactly that.
With one click, our Salesforce managed package will (safely):
- Augment your existing Salesforce data model.
- Automate ETLs on existing workflows to passively transform and load your data
- Deliver pre-built reports that are organized around specific roles and jobs, whether that’s sales strategy, sales enablement or sales management.
