Oasis Navigates Acquisitions and Streamlines Efficiency with Salesforce and Torrent Managed Services

At A Glance

Oasis International, a long-standing global provider of clean drinking water systems, embarked on a digital transformation journey following its acquisition by Culligan Water. Oasis’ need to align with their parent company’s technology stack resulted in their adoption of Salesforce, which presented a challenging project for their team due to their unfamiliarity with the CRM’s capabilities. Through Torrent’s Managed Services, they accessed a dedicated team of certified Salesforce experts who facilitated the migration of sales processes into Salesforce, resulting in streamlined workflows and improved efficiency across global units. Oasis also optimized their platform, responded to evolving business needs, and benefited from a consistent Salesforce admin team, bolstering user adoption and enabling their business divisions. Together, we have navigated challenges, optimized processes, and fostered a thriving CRM adoption journey.

Company Overview

Delivering refreshing water to the world has been Oasis International’s commitment for more than a century. Today, Oasis is a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of clean drinking water systems such as bottle fillers, water or bottle coolers, drinking fountains, and water filtration solutions. 

In 2018, Oasis was acquired by Culligan Water, which was leveraging Salesforce® as its CRM platform to manage their operations as one of the largest water treatment companies in the U.S. 

Following their M&A agreement, Oasis needed to align under Culligan’s tech stack umbrella, introducing them to the Salesforce platform. Therefore, finding a Salesforce consulting partner who had experience navigating post-acquisition org migrations was critical. 

Business Challenge

The Oasis team was unfamiliar with Salesforce and therefore lacked the skill set or product knowledge to migrate their processes to the cloud. 

Given the extensive capabilities of that Salesforce platform, the Oasis team found it challenging to determine a precise starting point or identify their specific requirements to maximize their investment. What they were certain of, was they required support building out their sales processes for their two primary divisions on a global scale. Which drove them to address challenges like:

Lack of Salesforce best practices to implement, administrate and migrate their sales team processes related to pipeline, revenue and forecast into the system. Oasis was tracking and managing their data through Excel spreadsheets and their ERP, JD Edwards.

Due to their evolving needs and constant leadership decision changes while they grew, they required ongoing support to adapt their Salesforce system to respond to their ever-changing rhythms and workflows. 

Inability to effectively onboard and train their sales team users resulting from the absence of an internal Salesforce administration team, while their holding company had expected performance results that relied on a successful platform adoption.

Torrent's Approach

Torrent Consulting’s Salesforce expertise and proven success within the Manufacturing industry generated trust with the Oasis team after being introduced. Because they required iterative support to implement and maximize Sales Cloud while following best practice guidance and also needed a flexible methodology that could adapt to their internal rhythms and workflows, a Managed Services engagement aligned perfectly with their expectations.
