 Customer Transformation 

Project examples

Innovative automobile marketing

Mercedes-Benz AG is among the major suppliers of premium passenger vehicles. These vehicles are no longer being purchased in traditional car dealerships; they are also increasingly being bought online. Our task was optimizing the customer journey and the entire marketing funnel to address customers more individually.
Salesforce Audience Studio and Marketing Cloud were selected as the central platform for this. This made it possible to provide an agile, closed DevOps approach for the design, implementation, and global roll-out of a digital marketing solution. This included, for example, optimized customer segmentation allowing larger target groups to be addressed more specifically.
Over two years we have guided a wide variety of projects in the field of personalization and retargeting to success in more than 37 markets. For example, the opening rate of e-mails was increased significantly, which led to a higher click-through rate of up to 520 percent, among other successes.

Standardized "Market to Invoice" process on the basis of Salesforce

Leadec is a global leader among service specialist for the manufacturing industry. The system landscape was fragmented; additionally, operations varied from region to region. Our task was to cover the "market to invoice" processes from the customer inquiry to invoicing globally in one system. 
All global sales and service settlement processes were harmonized to do so. The derived IT functionality requirements were visualized in Salesforce. Subsequently, there was a major focus on onboarding, training, and data migration. 
This allowed a fast roll-out to be achieved despite the fact that the company is extremely decentralized with more than 200 locations around the world. Customer satisfaction also rose thanks to the new system, largely encouraged by the cost cutting which was achived and the increased efficiency and transparancy during the entire sales and service process.

Implementation of SAP Sales Cloud

Kamax is one of the world's leading automotive suppliers for high-strength fasteners. Our task was the global implementation of Sales Cloud at its 12 locations to bolster international cooperations and make sales processes more efficient.
In accordance with our approach of "from strategy up to realization", three of PwC Germany's practice groups worked hand-in-hand here. Our strategic consulting reorganized the sales organization, our management consulting defined the sales process, and finally our technology consulting implemented the system. 
Our SAP-CX team contributed its expertise in the configuration and integration of the system and took care of the data migration and change management, along with the corresponding training activities. 
An initial version of the SAP Sales Cloud as a component of the SAP CX Suite went live after just eight weeks. The components of the solution customized for Kamax include the SAP Jam, SAP Cloud Connector, and SAP Cloud Platform Integration modules.
