Customer Story

Who is the customer

A large independent semiconductor manufacturer. They sell embedded memory and storage solutions to other manufacturers and have sales reps and resellers in all major markets.

Pain points

Despite SAP ERP, account executives and management alike did not have a complete 360-degree view of the entire Account relationship and the revenue it generates (across different sold-to parties, channels and products).
Account executives couldn’t quickly provide order confirmations or information on order history, order status, product available-to-promise information and shipment status.
Management needed accurate, fast, global forecasts, order history & backlog to drive investment decisions in this competitive industry.

Solution

Implemented Salesforce and connected it to SAP ERP to get a single, complete view of everything relevant including real-time sales order, product delivery and shipment status.
Full-blown sales order management capability that allows account executives to post and monitor sales orders in real-time to SAP ERP. All information related to the account is now accessible in Salesforce.
SAP-connected Salesforce benefit: pipeline & revenue growth by 51% and 31% respectively combined with an inventory reduction by 51% and a planned SKU reduction of 73%.

Appexchange Reviews

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!
