Situation

Harsco Metals & Minerals originally managed customer and sales data using email and spreadsheets. Its customer interactions were neither tracked nor documented effectively, and customer relationships were suffering. Harsco’s lack of standardization did not allow sales representatives and managers to effectively track and gain insight from the sales pipeline.
As the organization’s sales processes suffered, so did sales team motivation and the company’s bottom line. Harsco needed an expert to revolutionize its enterprise systems and implement best practices in order to improve customer relationships, and:

  • Create a centralized repository for global account management.
  • Increase sales automation and tracking of customer interactions
  • Advanced analytics to provide business insight and decision-making support.
