Challenge
The LCF Group was using a previous CRM that was cumbersome to work with and couldn't easily integrate with the third-party applications the team relied on, forcing employees to jump between multiple tools just to find the information they needed.
At the same time, the company managed its operations and finances in Sage 50, but that data remained siloed and disconnected from the CRM, so anyone who needed accounting records, invoicing details, or credit memos had no direct way to see them alongside customer information.
Solution
The LCF Group replaced its previous CRM with Salesforce Enterprise, the top cloud-based CRM in the world, giving the team a single, streamlined system that could take advantage of app integrations rather than fighting against them. To close the gap between that new CRM and their existing Sage 50 system, the company chose Commercient SYNC, the number one data integration platform for sales, to connect the two.
SYNC now brings customer accounting records, invoicing, credit memos, salesperson names, and more from Sage 50 directly into Salesforce.
The SYNC'd data has made our lives easier. The ERP data comes in and sits in Salesforce, and if we need to run a report, we can do it from CRM.
Results
With Sage 50 data sitting directly in Salesforce, The LCF Group's teams can now run the reports they need without ever leaving the CRM, and the synced credit memos give the accounting team what they need to validate accounts more easily.
Commercient and Salesforce continue to work with The LCF Group to streamline its processes further, giving the company a complete picture of its sales, marketing, and customers.
The credit memos help our accounting team to validate accounts.
