Waukesha-Pearce Industries, LLC (WPI) has provided industrial, energy and commercial solutions to its clients for the last 100 years. Recognizing the need to streamline their field service operations, they became a Service Pro® client in 2018, elevating their processes from manual to digital.
In 2024, years after Service Pro’s initial implementation, WPI faced a new challenge. Despite having very strong product lines and a skilled sales team, WPI struggled to gain real-time insights into sales activities, customer interactions, and market trends. This lack of visibility often led to missed opportunities and inefficient sales processes.
The primary challenge faced by WPI was the inability to capture and analyze sales data effectively in real-time. The sales team used disparate systems to log calls, track interactions, and manage customer relationships, leading to fragmented data and delayed decision-making. WPI needed an addition that could provide real-time, accurate data across all touchpoints, enabling better strategic planning and execution.
WPI decided to leverage both existing features within Service Pro and a new product, Service Pro Insights (SPI) which integrates advanced call log features. WPI expanded their use of Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities, and real-time data analytics.
1. SPI’s Call Log Features:
2. Insights for 49 Boards:
WPI utilizes Service Pro’s interactive dashboards to display key metrics and sales performance indicators. WPI has set up dashboards for daily and weekly KPIs, allowing them to focus on the data that is important based on the cadence they need the information.
WPI’s essential daily dashboards:
Examples of WPI’s weekly dashboards:
Work order totals, labor totals, mileage totals, parts totals, parts and backorder boards, service fees, etc. Customizable views to cater to different roles within the sales team, from individual sales reps to senior management.
3. Business Intelligence:
“It’s game changing when you’re able to watch data live and be able to react to that data quicker and faster than how it used to be.”
The implementation of SPI and expansion of Business Intelligence brought significant improvements to WPI’s sales operations:
1. Increased Visibility and Efficiency:
“Every year we do right around $45-50K work orders, and we’re doing it with 172 technicians. That’s efficiency right there.”
2. Improved Sales Performance:
3. Higher Closure Rate for $500K+ Deals:
4. Savings:
“Normally you’re not supposed to make any money off of your maintenance, normally it’s a break-even deal…our gross profit for just the maintenance side has turned roughly around 15%-18%, where it used to hang around 2 or 3%… you never could have gone to centralization without this product…we’ve seen a huge gain there…”
The integration of SPI’s advanced call log features, real-time data feeds, and business intelligence tools significantly enhanced WPI’s sales capabilities.
By providing true data and true facts in real time, the addition of SPI and BI enabled WPI to increase its number of $500K+ deals, driving overall business growth and success.
The case of WPI illustrates the power of leveraging technology to streamline sales processes and achieve better business outcomes. Learn more about Service Pro Insights in this one pager below!
