The Challenge

After successfully working with Softjourn on developing mobile extensions for their expense management solution, PEX turned to us again with a request to make the process of onboarding new customers.

The Solution

In order to accelerate the process, the Softjourn team integrated the PEX website, SalesForce, and LexisNexis service so that all steps are now done automatically without PEX employees manually doing all the steps.

The Benefits

The immediate benefits of the new solutions for PEX's employees: 

  • Automation of business processes
  • Increased efficiency 
  • Better use of time for PEX employees

The Challenge

A CRM is an incredibly valuable asset that usually sits at the core of many procedures throughout an organization. Many software vendors such as SalesForce, SAP, and Oracle offer enterprise CRM systems to appeal to most businesses. However, each business has its in-house processes that aren’t always built into CRM solutions.

One of our customers, PEX, faced a situation where they needed to change the way they added new customers to their SalesForce CRM and came to us to support them during that important implementation process. 

After successfully working with Softjourn on developing mobile extensions for PEX services, they turned to us again with a request to make the process of adding a new customer easier.

The Solution

Adding a new customer used to be pretty much a manual process for PEX and involved four steps:

  • Filling out a customer form on the PEX website;
  • Moving the data manually to SalesForce;
  • Sending the customer profile to LexisNexis do a background check of the company and its contact person.
  • Sending the account to the bank to issue payment cards.

The Benefits

In order to accelerate the process, the Softjourn team integrated the PEX website, SalesForce, and LexisNexis service so that all steps are now done automatically without PEX employees manually doing all the steps.

The immediate benefits of this integration were: 

  • Automation of business processes
  • Increased efficiency 
  • Better use of time for PEX employees
