Becoming the largest trailer manufacturer in Europe, that is Eduard’s dream.
The opening of a new production facility and the implementation of Salesforce are the ways to help them achieve their dream.

Eduard has been making custom trailers for twenty years. With the opening of the new factory in Lommel, the production capacity has increased significantly. The company is expanding rapidly and establishing itself in more European countries and beyond, by utilizing strong dealer networks. To best serve dealers and customers, Salesforce is an important tool.

Improved performance

Thanks to Salesforce, Eduard now has a complete overview of what is going on in his business and industry. Eduard: ‘Welisa has guided us in the choice for Salesforce and led the implementation. As a result, our company has made an enormous progress.” Everything related to sales, relationship management, service, marketing and e-commerce is now being handled in Salesforce. Customer data is centrally available, the marketing is fully automated and the service process is perfectly standardized. Moreover, we recently created a portal for our dealers in Salesforce.

After the implementation of Salesforce, the performance metrics for sales, order fulfillment and production has increased significantly.
