How EAW delivers sales performance and superior customer fulfillment
Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW), a global maker and provider of a wide range of loudspeakers and industry-leading audio technology for live venues is turning global sales operations into a competitive advantage. How? By launching a Versago portal in sync with SAP Business One that gives salespeople a unified way to get real-time data on inventory levels, track sales activity, and enable accurate management forecasting.
Business Challenge
Managing a growing business with sales around the globe does not come without its challenges. While enjoying all the benefits of running their business on SAP Business One, EAW was still experiencing the symptoms of a not-so-unusual situation: people around the company and their daily activity running out of step with the information on SAP. The opportunity for improvement? Sales. The symptoms? Employees tied up in excessive communication and low value activity like generating sales reports and looking up order information. The consequences? Delayed sales, inaccurate sales forecasting, customer fulfillment delays. All of this taken together was costing the business 10s of thousands per year operationally with occasional negative impact to revenue and customer fulfillment.
Business Transformation
Self-service portal solution for sales team and management
EAW embarked on an effort to unify sales management with the Versago sales portal integrated with SAP Business One. With Versago, from any device, sales and management can access historical sales activity and order detail by region and account along with customer AR status. Sales reps can also access inventory by item, item group, warehouse and other criteria enabling them to commit to customers with confidence. Management can also access sales booked for a future period by region, rep and month.
For EAW these capabilities amount to a global sales reporting framework, enabling them to understand, plan and scope work in order to hit sales goals. The simple integration with SAP means the entire organization is on the same page and operating in sync with the system of record, SAP Business One. Sales and customers share an early and accurate view into EAW’s fulfillment capability meaning no more bad surprises.
