The result was integration-driven system efficiencies and dramatically increased interdepartmental visibility and collaboration.

This continues to reinforce the value as81% of customers prefer companies that offer a personalized experience.
More Effective Upselling and Cross-selling
With more integrated systems and insights, VEV is able to take advantage of opportunities that were once out of reach. For instance, while cross-selling canincrease sales by 20% and profits by 30%, VEV’s legacy system design had stood in the way of seizing that opportunity. But after activating Foundations, the problem was solved. With all sales and service data integrated across the company, a new revenue stream was born.
