For the integration project, the client needed Salesforce and NetSuite to be connected so that they could share client contact and company information with their sales teams.
The client had a few legacy ERP’s from previous acquisitions that held vast amounts of financial and customer data that needed to be keep track of; this could not be done without adding custom fields to define the data. They also needed significant customizations to streamline a refund process that their finance team was doing hundreds of times daily but all manually.
