Delivery date and price adjustments have to be made once feedback is there from the ERP system.
Consumer goods field reps rely upon outdated systems, spreadsheets and paper-based reports to share business insights and opportunities.

Store visits can be planned and executed based on all information available in Salesforce and in SAP.

Awesome solution – 10 years ahead of everything else

We are Europe’s leader in manufacturing of memory products and are running this solution since 3 years for sales order, forecasting and account data integration. Sychronization is done in time without any delay. Every account manager has immediate access to order and shipment information and he can update his forecast immediately to drive the supply chain.
Thanks to overcast we can use far more order information by using Salesforce. We immediately can generate a sales order based on opportunity information which saves time and avoids mistakes. Every order is linked to it’s opportinity and the whole sales process can be tracked.
We really like Vigience as an implementation partner. We could easily build the integration by an easy specification which was not overloaded by too much detail information. Vigience immediately took the idea and implemented it without complicated iterations at best service level.
With overcast we can directly access SAP by Salesforce without using a middleware like Jitterbit and without the need to have again experts to build up the GUIs. With overcast from Vigience we got all from one hand – and it’s running!
