LEADING ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE COMPANY / DATA AND ANALYTICS

A single customer record replaced four conflicting views.

Customer data was spread across CRM, licensing, support, and revenue systems. Duplicate records, broken hierarchies, and manual reconciliation consumed team capacity. PivotX combined master data management, business stewardship, and a navigable account hierarchy so revenue-facing teams could work from the same customer record.

THE SITUATION

Four functions had four conflicting views of the customer.

Sales, support, licensing, and revenue operations each had a different view of the customer. Duplicate records, inconsistent account hierarchies, and competing naming conventions forced teams to reconcile data before preparing a forecast, reviewing a pipeline, or responding to a support case.

The hierarchy problem was especially difficult. Parent companies, subsidiaries, divisions, contacts, licenses, and billing relationships didn't line up across platforms.

01

Customer data split across CRM, licensing, support, and revenue systems

02

Duplicate records and inconsistent account hierarchies across platforms

03

Manual reconciliation required for every forecast and pipeline review

04

No governed process for maintaining the customer record going forward

THE WORK

What we built

01

A trusted customer record with clear ownership

Before working with PivotX, the company had duplicate customer records, inconsistent names and fields, and no clear responsibility for keeping the data accurate.

PivotX built a master data management solution on Amazon Web Services that standardizes customer information, resolves duplicate records, and assigns ownership to the appropriate business users. New workflows allow those users to correct and maintain the master record without sending every change through IT.

The company now has one trusted customer record and a process for preventing duplicate and inconsistent data from accumulating again.

02

Customer relationships teams can navigate

Cleaning the records addressed the data-quality problem. Revenue-facing teams also needed to understand how contacts, accounts, parent companies, licenses, and billing relationships fit together.

PivotX created a navigable account hierarchy and made it available through Power BI. Sales, support, and revenue operations can see the relationships among customer records without reconciling information from multiple systems.

Teams can now use the same data for support cases, forecasts, and pipeline reviews. The model can also accommodate new products, channels, and geographies without another consolidation effort.

WHERE THIS TRANSFERS

Where this applies

01

Your sales and customer success teams are working from different versions of the same account record.

02

Preparing a forecast or pipeline review requires someone to reconcile data that should already agree.

03

You clean up the customer data periodically, and it degrades between each cleanup because there is no governed way to maintain it.
