The Challenge

Revenue data with no single source of truth

Leadership wanted one thing no system could give them: real-time visibility into key accounts across all of their companies at a glance. Instead, customer data lived in spreadsheets, inboxes, and the heads of individual reps. There was no CRM at all.

Quoting, operational, and accounting data were spread across a TMS, an ERP, and several legacy databases that did not talk to each other. With many companies selling to overlapping customers, leadership could not see total revenue by parent account, identify cross-selling between units, or understand why deals were won or lost.

The Opportunity

A revenue-accountable platform, built from scratch

The enterprise needed more than a CRM install. It needed a revenue operations partner to model how the business actually worked, connect the systems that move freight, and embed with the teams until the platform was adopted and self-sustaining.

The Solution

Build, connect, operationalize, adopt

LeadCoverage ran the entire revenue operations function as a true partnership, designed to be 50% consulting and 50% execution, across four moves.

01 · Build

Build the System

Configured the CRM from the ground up and engineered a four-level account hierarchy, parent company to business unit to bill-to site to revenue terminal, that mirrors exactly how the enterprise operates.

02 · Connect

Connect the Data

Integrated the TMS, ERP, and legacy systems into a data lake, replacing brittle point-to-point connections with a real-time, two-way feed built to absorb newly acquired companies quickly.

03 · Operationalize

Operationalize Selling

Built complete pipelines, forecasting, and an opportunity-to-invoice process with quote win-ratio and loss-reason tracking and role-based dashboards for every rep, manager, and executive.

04 · Adopt

Drive Adoption

Trained every user through live, virtual, and self-paced content; stood up an internal training library and weekly enablement calls; launched Marketing Hub on a healthy sending domain; and piloted AI agents on live data.

The Timeline

A multi-year build to a self-sustaining engine

Phase 0 · Discovery

Map the business

A deep dive into existing technology, data, and operations defined exactly what needed to change, and in what order, before any system was built.

Phase 1 · Implementation

Stand up the platform

Architecture, integrations, reporting, automation, and training executed across six parallel workstreams. The enterprise went from no CRM to a functioning platform with visibility into 110K+ parent and child accounts.

Phase 2 · Refinement

Deepen and integrate

Data lake integration delivered a live quoting and revenue feed. Pipelines, forecasting, and quote metrics were finalized, and legacy records were migrated and cleansed off retired systems.

Scale · Adoption

Expand across units

Additional business units were onboarded, terminal-level ownership logic and dashboards were rolled out, and AI agents were piloted to accelerate prospecting and account research.

Handoff · Enablement

Leave them self-sufficient

A structured offboarding delivered a full architecture board, an annual maintenance guide, a dashboards audit, and a year-end changeover plan, leaving the team fully equipped to run the platform on its own.
