Transforming Sales and Customer Management at RMI

RMI is a multi-entity, global service provider executing large-scale technical projects. Its complex sales cycle spans lead generation, opportunity management, project scoping, contracting, and international fulfillment. But as the company grew, so did the fragmentation of its customer data and tools.

Transforming Sales and Customer Management at RMI

The Challenge

Fragmented CRM and Disconnected Data

RMI relied on Salesforce, but usage varied widely across teams. Key issues included:

  • Inconsistent or duplicate customer records

  • Limited visibility into opportunity status or conversion metrics

  • Separate systems for CRM, project execution, and documentation

  • Manual data entry across Salesforce, Airtable, and Excel

  • No unified view of client history, activities, or document workflows

With over 55,000 records spread across multiple platforms, the risk of missed revenue, poor forecasting, and compliance issues became critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got concerns? Let’s address those
Why did RMI need to move from Salesforce to Dynamics 365?

Salesforce usage was fragmented, with duplicate records, disconnected workflows, and no unified reporting. Dynamics 365 provided a centralized, scalable solution integrated with project and finance systems.

How did Benchmarked ensure data integrity during migration?

We used KingswaySoft, staging environments, and two dry-run validations to verify records, attachments, and workflows before full migration.

What is a Business Process Flow (BPF), and why was it important?

BPFs guide users through stage-based sales processes, ensuring consistency, adherence to policies, and proper handoffs between sales and project teams.

How did the solution improve reporting and visibility?

Dynamics 365 dashboards and role-based KPIs allow real-time monitoring of opportunities, pipeline health, and project connections, giving executives and managers actionable insights.

How was user adoption supported?

Through Train-the-Trainer sessions, simplified UI forms, and stage-relevant workflows, users quickly learned the system without disrupting daily operations.

Can this CRM ecosystem scale as RMI grows?

Yes. The Dynamics 365 platform, integrated with SharePoint, Exchange, and project systems, is modular and scalable, supporting future expansions, new entities, and cross-functional workflows.

What was the biggest benefit of the project?

RMI now has a single source of truth for customer, sales, and project data, reducing redundancy, improving forecasting, and streamlining global operations.
