The Challenge
Leveraging Service Cloud and ERP
As a leading consumer goods company, Fiskars needed an efficient and effective service process to manage warranty support cases that were submitted by their customers. We simultaneously worked with both Fiskars and Gerber (a subdivision of Fiskars) to determine the key pain points and to design and develop a solution on Service Cloud. Goals included the following:
- A scalable solution in which warranty claims entered through Fiskars and Gerber websites are handled by a custom Salesforce case management solution
- A standardized database in Salesforce.com that seamlessly integrates with Silverpop marketing automation software
- A case management solution that integrates easily with web applications and automates communication with the end consumer through email marketing tools
- Reports to provide insight on products at a macro and micro level
- Workflows and dashboards to make data easily available and lead to more efficient resource allocation
- Integrated order data to and from JD Edwards ERP and Salesforce.com
- A solution that allows a single direction integration of products data from JD Edwards ERP to Salesforce.com

We have used Simplus in the past, and they have always done an incredibly professional job with projects, providing thoughtful insights and context to our implementation. From their work with other clients, they’re able to pull from a vault of previous experience to suggest various ways we may want to accomplish a task, along with pros and cons for each approach.

- After realizing huge efficiency gains, Fiskars saves 40 hours a week in warranty administration.
