Previous Solution: SAP
SAP was ageing and proving both hard to manage, and difficult to integrate with growing array of cloud systems, including Salesforce. The sheer volume of manual data entry meant that as the business doubled, so would the need for admin heads within the business.
Digital Barriers, in a period of high growth, required the automation of processes to overcome an increasing amount of manual tasks. Increasing legislative requirements such as IRFS 15, meant that specific solutions were required to manage and adhere to their growing complexities.
Another primary driver for change was the quantity of work currently being completed within excel; these manual reports were complex, required constant changes and updates - ultimately holding the business back from their ambitions.
With the growth plans of Digital Barriers – core to their selection process was a scalable solution suite that could merge all the disparate systems and manage their customers at all levels.
FinancialForce ERP
FinancialForce ERP is the leading cloud ERP solution on the Salesforce Platform that connects customers, employees, and products into one system, all with a consistent view of a customer's entire journey. FinancialForce ERP allows contextually relevant conversations to be tracked alongside transactions, accounts, reports, or other objects.
FinancialForce SCM
Built on the Salesforce Platform, FinancialForce SCM is built for the fast-paced and competitive business era in which we live. Most organisations manage the procure to pay and quote to cash processes in multiple systems requiring cumbersome integration points and lack real time visibility. HCM allows as many channels as you need including field-sales, telesales, integration to web-stores and EDI transactions from retailers.
ION Support
ION was selected to support Digital Barriers and, as Salesforce experts, can support Digital Barriers on any issues that may arise on both FinancialForce and their CRM. ION support enables a point of contact for the finance team should any issues arise – whether they be knowledge or training issues, or problems in simple transacting to complex reporting.
Through the selection of FinancialForce Digital Barriers were able to deploy a full solution, from sales to finance for their business. This enabled a signal source of data for their business to drive increasing growth across entities and countries.
Digital Barriers now have complete adherence to IRFS 15 legislation - accounting for revenue from contracts with customers across the globe. With this now in place they are able to translate their success across new territories and markets without the need for additional systems and processes.
