- Technology and industry expertise: Our team has over 500 certifications alone in various technologies, especially Salesforce. This specialization allows us to offer comprehensive solutions tailored to our clients’ specific needs, ensuring successful outcomes and maximum value.
- Customer-centric approach: At CRMIT Solutions, customer success is our top priority. We adopt a customer-centric approach, understanding our clients’ unique challenges and goals to deliver customized solutions that drive tangible business outcomes.

Q: Tell us about how CRMIT approaches Accounting Seed implementations
A: CRMIT follows a structured approach to Accounting Seed implementations, ensuring that the customer requirements and challenges are thoroughly understood and addressed through a detailed discovery, customization and data migration process. We customize Accounting Seed to fit the client’s specific needs and processes, while also helping them to think of more effective ways to manage their financial data with Accounting Seed and Salesforce technology.
Our team specializes in User Accepted Testing (UAT) where we develop test scenarios and cases to ensure everything is functioning as expected. This leads to training and post-implementation support where we train key personnel in system administration and configuration to ensure effective system management. By following a structured and custom approach, CRMIT ensures a successful Accounting Seed implementation and provides continuous support.
Q: In what ways have you customized Salesforce and Accounting Seed for your customer base that other businesses might find interesting and innovative?
A: Because Accounting Seed and Salesforce are on the same Platform, we’re able to take advantage of real-time data processing which allows fast and accurate data flow between CRM and accounting. This approach ensures the data from various sources in Salesforce, such as Projects, Opportunities, and Orders, is readily available in Accounting Seed through an automated workflow. This significantly reduces the need for any manual processing and further minimizes the risk of human errors—saving valuable people resources. With Salesforce and Accounting Seed’s open architecture and our expertise in both solutions, we are able to customize the flow of data easily for our clients.
Q: What role does Salesforce and Accounting Seed technology play in your business operations, and how do you leverage it to enhance efficiency and productivity?
A: We leverage Salesforce and Accounting Seed technology in the following ways to streamline our business operations and drive efficiency:
- Simplified finance department work: Accounting Seed has played a crucial role in simplifying our finance department’s work by utilizing its Multi Ledger feature. Previously, we used three different accounting software for different regions, which was time-consuming and cumbersome for creating consolidated financial statements. With Accounting Seed, we now have standard financial reports, and generating consolidated statements is just a click away.
- Contact-to-Cash automation: Accounting Seed serves as a robust accounting solution that has enabled us to automate the Contact-to-Cash process. We create Opportunities and Milestones in Salesforce, while Invoice generation and payment tracking are seamlessly handled in Accounting Seed. This native integration ensures smooth coordination between our Sales and Finance teams, enhancing efficiency and minimizing manual effort.
- Reporting and analysis: Both Accounting Seed and Salesforce contribute to our reporting and analysis capabilities. Accounting Seed financial reports provide valuable insights into our financial performance, allowing us to monitor revenue, profitability, and other key metrics. Additionally, we leverage the flexibility of Salesforce to create custom reports and dashboards, enabling us to track and analyze data specific to our business needs.
Q: Can you share any current or upcoming initiatives that are important for the future of CRMIT and your clients?
A: One important initiative that we are currently working on, with high relevance for both CRMIT and our clients, is the automation of the end-to-end Contact-to-Cash process. The term “Contact-to-Cash” (C2C) encompasses the sequence of steps a company follows to turn a prospective customer into a paying customer.
Our goal is to complete this initiative by the end of 2023. By automating this critical process, we aim to streamline and optimize the customer journey, from initial contact to final payment, resulting in increased efficiency and improved customer satisfaction. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to leveraging technology on the Salesforce Platform to drive innovation and deliver enhanced value to our clients.
