Dimplex Thermal Solutions partnered with ERBrains to modernize its sales operations using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and Power BI. By implementing a centralized CRM platform and real-time sales analytics, the organization improved lead qualification visibility, strengthened pipeline governance, automated KPI tracking, and enabled data-driven sales management across teams and territories.
Dimplex Thermal Solutions is a sales-driven organization focused on delivering innovative thermal management solutions across multiple markets and customer segments. As sales activities expanded across teams and territories, the organization required greater visibility into lead progression, opportunity management, sales performance, and pipeline health.
To support sustainable growth and improve operational efficiency, Dimplex Thermal Solutions sought a modern CRM solution capable of centralizing sales processes while providing actionable insights through advanced analytics.
• Limited Pipeline Visibility: Sales leaders lacked clear insight into lead progression and qualification timelines, making it difficult to measure responsiveness and identify bottlenecks. • Ineffective Opportunity Monitoring: Aging opportunities and stalled deals were difficult to track, impacting pipeline health, forecasting accuracy, and overall sales performance. • Manual Activity Tracking: Follow-up monitoring and sales activity management relied heavily on manual processes, reducing efficiency and visibility across teams. • Restricted Reporting Capabilities: Existing reporting tools provided only basic visibility and lacked advanced analytics, drill-down reporting, and detailed CRM insights. • Inconsistent KPI Monitoring: Management teams struggled to consistently track sales performance indicators across territories and evaluate operational effectiveness. • Delayed Decision-Making: Limited access to reliable, real-time sales data made it challenging for leadership to make timely and informed business decisions.
