Salesforce Lead to Quote Transformation
Re-engineering sales execution for a global glass packaging manufacturer through Salesforce CRM and SAP integration.
Project Overview
AANSEACORE partnered with a leading global glass packaging manufacturer to redesign and digitize its Lead to Quote process. The client's sales organization, spread across multiple regions, relied on fragmented spreadsheets, disconnected legacy systems, and manual coordination between sales and finance teams.
AANSEACORE implemented an integrated Salesforce CRM platform connected in real time with SAP, giving the client a single, standardized, and automated Lead to Quote engine that supports its sales teams across North America and its wider global operations - where pricing depends on product specification, glass composition, order volume, and long-standing customer agreements.
Business Challenges
Manual Lead Management
Leads were captured through disconnected spreadsheets and emails, with no standard process for qualification, assignment, or follow-up.
Disconnected Customer Information
Sales teams lacked a single, reliable view of customer accounts, resulting in duplicated records and inconsistent communication.
Manual Quotation Preparation
Quotes were built manually in spreadsheets, making the process slow, inconsistent, and prone to calculation errors.
Slow, Email-Based Approvals
Discount and pricing approvals moved through email chains with no visibility into where a request stood.
SAP and Salesforce Data Silos
Customer, product, and pricing data existed independently in SAP with no automated link to the sales process.
Lack of Pipeline Visibility
Sales leadership had limited insight into pipeline health, regional performance, or forecast accuracy.
Customer-Specific Pricing Complexity
Long-standing customer agreements and volume-based pricing structures were difficult to manage manually.
The AANSEACORE Solution
Salesforce CRM Foundation
A single, well-governed CRM foundation on Salesforce Sales Cloud - structured lead, account, opportunity, and quote management with a consolidated, real-time pipeline.
Quote Automation & Dynamic Pricing
Quotation preparation rebuilt as an automated, rules-driven capability with a configurable pricing engine and branded PDF quote generation.
Approval Workflows
Email-based approvals replaced with structured, multi-step workflows that automatically route quotes and discounts to the right approver.
SAP Integration
Salesforce connected with SAP in real time for customer, product, pricing, and order data - closing the gap between sales and back-office systems.
