“Embedding analytics into sales CRM processes is central to our product mission,” said John Collins, CEO of GreatVines. “GoodData immediately impressed us with their scale and flexibility; the fact that it so easily integrated into the Force.com platform was a great bonus.”

GreatVines – built entirely on the Force.com platform -embeds analytics into every step of the sales process, so reps can see historical trends, analyzing data by brand, label, package, territory and more. With analytics across all three tiers, companies can make more evidence-based decisions on sales strategy and trade promotions. Thanks to GoodData, GreatVines customers get:

• Pre-built, interactive dashboards that summarize the health of your distribution channels, with the ability to easily drill down for practically unlimited detail
• Contextual reports tracking accounts sold, retail sales, points of distribution, shipments and depletions – all in one place without struggling with Excel or on-premise databases
• Licensed wholesaler account and depletion data from Nielsen directly visible in the CRM environment.

“Only GoodData can deliver on the flexible and powerful analytics requirements of Force.com apps,” said Roman Stanek, Founder and CEO of GoodData. “We were built to help companies like GreatVines make analytics a central part of their products.”
