The Challenge

The company previously used spreadsheets to organize and track customer information, which did not allow them to access real-time sales data or integrate with their existing enterprise resource planning system.

Further, reporting functionality was limited, as staff had to generate reports manually on demand. C.F. Martin hired Trifecta to bridge the growing information gap between their sales and service teams.
Our Strategy

Strategizing with the sales and technical leadership at C.F. Martin, Trifecta assessed the operations and developed a solution that would streamline their processes.

The team implemented Salesforce Sales Cloud, which effectively replaced their manual spreadsheets and tasks. Trifecta developed a mobile-friendly solution to allow C.F. Martin’s sales team to access critical customer data on the road, without necessitating a call to in-house service staff. In addition, Trifecta integrated Sales Cloud with C.F. Martin’s existing ERP system and Hubspot, giving Martin employees unprecedented data analytics and a 360-degree view of their customers.
