Genmark Transforms Lead-to-Order Process for Global Growth

The challenge

A Fractured, Manual Lead-to-Order Process

Genmark, a trailblazing manufacturer of Gensets for Reefer Containers, played a vital role in global trade by providing innovative energy solutions. However, they recognised that their reliance on manual processes constrained their growth potential. Realising this, they seized an opportunity to modernise their lead-to-order process in preparation for future scalability. 

Genmark used an outdated sales process that involved spreadsheets, scattered data, email exchanges, and manual work. This approach created various challenges:

Revenue Leakage

The manual lead capture processes used by Genmark resulted in missed opportunities and lost prospects due to delays.

Limited Visibility

A heavy reliance on spreadsheets hindered the effective tracking and nurturing of leads.

Efficiency Barriers

The absence of quoting and e-signature automation led to significant bottlenecks and delays in signing customer deals.

Siloed Data

Disjointed sales and finance data spread across multiple systems deprived Genmark of a single customer view.

Reporting Blind Spots

Disparate systems left Genmark without clear sales insights or metrics.

The solution

Salesforce Sales Cloud

The Turning Point

To revolutionise their lead-to-order workflow, Genmark joined forces with Pracedo, leveraging Salesforce Sales Cloud’s capabilities to catalyse growth by enhancing sales process efficiency through automation. Pracedo was instrumental in driving Genmark’s success, implementing key innovations that transformed their business operations.

“When we started with Genmark, their reliance on manual processes was really holding them back from accelerating growth globally. Our approach was to first deeply understand their current pain points and inefficiencies in the lead-to-order workflow. We then strategically applied key features of Salesforce Sales Cloud to solve those bottlenecks and transform their processes for future scale.” – Mariana Stefani, Consultant at Pracedo.

Seamless Lead Workflows

A meticulously crafted custom workflow seamlessly capturead leads from Genmark's website. This ensured that the leads are being captured and created in Salesforce Sales Cloud and being sent to the sales team.

Accelerated Quoting

Conga's was installed to automate quoting and give Genmark e-signature functionalities within Sales Cloud. This would help expedite Genmark's deal closure process and ensure they had a tracked, secure process.

Unified Finance

FlexConnect, an ISV solution, was used to integrate Exact Online’s financial data with Salesforce Sales Cloud. With their financial data now flowing within Salesforce, Genmark gained a comprehensive 360-degree customer view.

Smart Opportunity Management

Product tagging within Salesforce Sales Cloud streamlined quoting by linking inventory directly to deals.

At-a-glance Reporting
