Connected

SAP Sales Cloud unites operational and contextual data for exceptional outcomes​.

  • Maximizing your technology investments: The most important data customers have – sales, supply chain data, account information, pricing, inventory allocations, demand planning, operation - lives in SAP already. SAP Sales Cloud makes it easy to couple this operational data with the contextual data about your customers to personalize their sales journey and also bring contextual data back into digital core to make your operations more efficient and effective.​
  • Empowering all employees: Connecting data also means uniting organizations, making it easier to adopt new business models and scale businesses across the world. When your entire business, including your sales organization, is operating off the same data set, they can drive efficiencies throughout the organization, delivering visibility to internal teams and transparency to customers. ​
  • Driving profitability: ERP data can help drive the most value from every customer interaction by doing things like showing inventory that have the highest margin, routing salespeople to their most profitable accounts, expediting service requests for high-value customers to clear the way for new business and more. To complete the loop, your digital core then gets smarter with contextual customer data from CX.
