Business challenges

Two business units shared a single instance of Salesforce and multiple unintegrated environments, clouding the visibility each business required to fuel-efficient decision making and operational transparency. To continue providing value to individual students and institution partners through their white label division, our client required the ability to reduce manual data entry and separate its B2C and B2B Salesforce instances— to empower each department to own and manage their data independently.

Faced with growing demands to streamline the education user experience and help their managed services clients to do the same— our client engaged Softtek as a digital partner to help manage their current Salesforce implementations.

1

Both business units wanted to quickly put Salesforce at the center of its marketing, acquisition, commerce, and CX functions.

2

Client required a stable Salesforce solution that could also be white-labeled and rapidly deployed to client universities and companies at scale.

3

Empower admissions, sales, student relationship managers, and production teams with accurate data to enhance their interactions with students and better support enterprise customers who leverage a white-labeled version of the instance with the same robust functionality.
