What We Faced

  • Needed to understand and form brand strategies for new markets
  • Mapping future business needs for expansion into the technical designs of the new solution
  • Performance constraints at the integration layer

What We Did

Solution

MRE was brought on board to assist in strengthening the client’s retail brand strategy as part of their Retail Extension Project. Focus was put on combining and maximizing cost-effectiveness, efficiency and performance. Particular emphasis was also put on growing and supporting their brand presence in new markets, for which MRE modeled a Salesforce architecture and layout to accommodate their expansion. The new streamlined and easy to use structure was designed to assist internal sales and marketing teams to better serve customers, across multiple brands and territories.

 

The versatility of Salesforce positioned the client to be pioneers not only in the retail power space but also provided a dynamic platform supporting the multiple integration points required to allow for the growth of their business.
