WINNING TOGETHER
Opportunity Assessment & Value Creation Use Cases
Problem
A legacy B2B manufacturer and distributor of industrial parts, acquired by a private equity firm, faced increasing competition as buyers shifted to digital purchasing channels. Despite good products and longstanding customer relationships, outdated sales and marketing systems restricted growth potential.
Action
Experts conducted a comprehensive assessment of existing sales motions and systems to identify improvement opportunities. They implemented new digital infrastructure, including Salesforce CRM and online customer portals while realigning the sales force across legacy and digital channels. To measure performance, formal KPIs and reporting dashboards were established.
Results
Successfully transformed the company’s go-to-market approach, resulting in:
- 5% YoY revenue growth within six months post-implementation
- 20% growth in new customer accounts alongside reduced churn
- 50% reduction in customer order processing time and support call volume
Financial Process Optimization
A rapidly growing hospitality company struggled with cumbersome manual processes in legal and financial functions. Cross-functional inefficiencies resulted in month-long reporting delays, contract bottlenecks exceeding 60 days, and significant employee burnout. Through targeted process assessment and system implementation, Experts reduced contract turnaround time from 15 to 3 days, eliminated $3 million in external legal expenses, and streamlined expense reporting through improved data integration.
Commercial Operations Transformation
A PE-backed cybersecurity company struggled with siloed Sales and Customer Success teams, fragmented data, and unclear account ownership limiting lifecycle visibility. Catalant mapped the end-to-end sales process and customer journey to identify structural gaps, then implemented a unified KPI framework linking leading and lagging indicators. This identified approximately $6M in value from optimized segmentation, unified reporting for data-driven revenue management, and improved forecast accuracy with clear accountability.
