Challenge & Situation
Our client Viega develops and manufactures installation technology for plumbing and heating. Viega is worldwide the number one in press technology for metallic piping systems. The company increasingly encountered limitations in optimizing its existing CRM system, which had been heavily tailored to its specific needs over the past 20 years. Many processes lacked global standardization and sufficient standard features, resulting in the need for a technological revamp. This, in turn, hindered employee collaboration and also had an impact on mobile access to customer data.
The goal was to implement a new CRM system (Salesforce) as a key component of the comprehensive digital transformation effort while engaging employees right from the beginning of the project. This approach aimed to ensure that the new system effectively addressed the challenges and streamlined daily operations.
Our approach
As a solid foundation for our collaboration with Viega, we conducted a thorough analysis of the current state at the beginning of the project, including the identification of gaps between the requirements and the existing solution. In combination with various workshops to capture system requirements, we initially developed a minimal viable product (MVP) in an agile project mode. Together with the global template model, it formed the basis for the ongoing development of the Salesforce system during its gradual global rollout.
Simultaneously, we set up a comprehensive enablement program that put the employee at the center of the transformation. This approach enabled us to prepare key stakeholders within the organization for a seamless transition to the new system. The necessary acceptance for the transition was created through targeted communication activities such as videos and personalized newsletters. Furthermore, tailored training programs ensured that affected employees acquired the necessary skills to navigate the new platform environment.
