Interested in implementing Sales Force Automation (SFA)?
Leading market research firm Gartner recently published a report on critical capabilities for SFA. Our partner, Creatio (formerly bpm'online), was recognized in 5 use cases in this report.
This Gartner report evaluates 19 Sales Force Automation vendors against 6 use cases. Application leaders supporting sales should use our use-case-specific rankings to identify a shortlist for further evaluation.
Report highlights include:
Artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive sales forecasting, relationship health scoring or opportunity health scoring is now offered by more than half of the sales force automation (SFA) vendors.
Ease of use, particularly for data entry and maintaining data quality, varies considerably. Some vendors have invested in conversational AI to improve data entry, but it is not a common function yet in the industry.
Forecasting capabilities vary widely across the vendors.
Creatio believes its recognition in 5 use cases is driven by its advanced tools and out-of-the-box best practice processes to drive efficient sales processes and accelerate the complete sales cycle, and the intelligent low-code platform, which allows users with no technical skills to swiftly design, execute and optimize sales processes.

"I like your product. I'm frequently designing PowerPoint presentations for my company and your product has given me so many great ideas on the use of charts, layouts, tools, and frameworks. I really think the templates are a valuable asset to the job."

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor
the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox.
