Analyzing our problem
From a Sales standpoint, QMC needed to allow staff to manage their leads, proposals and contracts, and easily keep up with status updates. For the people in the field, the problem was how to plan, follow-up and report on installations and maintenance activities around the world. After designing an aggregate vision for these processes, the next challenge was building the underlying workflow and software that would make it come true. A huge undertaking that touched almost every area of the company, from finance to quality assurance and operations. Here’s how we did it.
Creating a Solution for QMC
We began by focusing on the sales process. We deployed Salesforce and Sitetracker, two technologies that allowed the sales process to be managed with ease but required customization for QMC’s specific needs. With these two technologies in place, QMC could deploy the sales process, which includes customer insights, business opportunities and established contracts. This automated way of working has replaced what was once a manual process. Data is no longer stored without structure, and a centralized database allows for better organization and automation. We then set our sights on improving the operations process. By developing a new workflow and application to support project implementation, our team improved tasks control, reporting and maintenance status. With this solution, onboarding of new employees vital to QMC’s growth follows a standardized path. The existence of a centralized data structure, where organization and security are key, is the main advantage.

The Results
As of today, the application has 273 users, including QMC employees and outsourced workers. The benefits of implementing this solution were notable, not only for QMC’s bottom line but also for the staff involved in the projects. With a centralized database of projects, information is quickly shared among users and reports are available in real time. But above all, the project stirred a cultural change. Near Partner’s staff worked together with QMC’s team to promote a new way of working, innovative ideas and an entrepreneurial mindset that will remain with the company long after the project ends.
