PROBLEM

Fonoa is a global tax automation and compliance platform that enables digital businesses to handle indirect tax determination, invoicing, tax ID validation, and local compliance at scale. Operating in a highly complex and fast‑moving regulatory environment, Fonoa needed a CRM platform capable of supporting structured sales operations, automation, and accurate forecasting.

As the business grew, limitations in its existing CRM setup began to restrict efficiency, visibility, and scalability.

Key challenges included:

  • Lack of structured sales processes
    Sales operations were evolving rapidly, but teams lacked a clear, standardised sales process that could scale with the business.
  • Disparate data sources and silos
    Customer information was gathered from multiple platforms, requiring manual effort to reconcile data and reducing confidence in accuracy.
  • Undefined ways of working
    Without consistent processes, teams spent time on administrative tasks rather than focusing on activities that directly drove revenue.
  • Complex data migration requirements
    Fonoa operated across multiple pre‑Salesforce systems, requiring expert guidance to migrate data safely and avoid errors or data loss.
  • Limited automation across day‑to‑day tasks
    Manual BAU activities slowed velocity and prevented teams from working as efficiently as possible.

Fonoa needed a scalable CRM that could automate sales operations, unify data, and establish Salesforce as the single source of truth.

SOLUTION

Cooper Parry Digital implemented Salesforce Sales Cloud and supporting integrations to create a structured, automated, and insight‑driven sales platform tailored to Fonoa’s needs.

The solution included:

  • Salesforce Sales Cloud implementation
    Sales Cloud provided a strong foundation for optimised sales execution, enabling teams to focus on selling rather than administration.
  • Defined and scalable sales processes
    Standardised ways of working were introduced, ensuring consistency across teams and supporting long‑term growth.
  • 360° customer visibility
    Salesforce connected sales activity, customer interactions, and engagement data into a single view, improving service and decision‑making.
  • Third‑party platform integrations
    Integrations with tools such as DocuSign and ZoomInfo enabled Salesforce to become the central hub for all customer and engagement data.
  • Single source of truth for customer records
    All relevant data now flows into Salesforce, creating a unified customer record across marketing, sales, and onboarding activities.
  • Improved onboarding workflows
    A custom onboarding object within Salesforce ensures full visibility of the customer journey while accelerating onboarding timelines.
  • Reporting and insight
    Dashboards and metrics provide faster access to actionable insight, enabling teams to continuously optimise performance.
