Game-changing Sales Bid Tool

I developed a game-changing solution to automate project bidding to clients and sourcing to partners done by a client. This completely modernized their processes, reduced sales rep time, and captured critical data that was used for analysis and better decisions going forward.

This project combined a Microsoft Outlook add-in, a website written in MVC framework, C# console back-end processes to route emails between the client and their partners, and an integration with Salesforce using APIs to create opportunities and edit attributes.

The solution also included a website to search projects utilizing Azure Search technology to deliver results in seconds against non-structured data

Complete Reporting System

I developed a complete end-to-end solution to consolidate client's business data from multiple systems, loads them into a SQL database, and sets up Tableau reports to visualize and easily access them.

The client was able to view their key business metrics easily and always have up-to-date information. The reports saved hours of manual effort by accounting and other teams.

I used SQL Server Integration Systems, Salesforce Apex Loader, Tableau Online, and third-party software to integrate with QuickBooks.

Customer Classification System

I developed a customer classification system that accurately classified the client's customer base into different segments as needed by the client based on the demographic data points available (company website, company name, NAICS, and so on).

This rules-based system was implemented in SQL Server. It would capture and store the classification options available for a data record and ultimately pick a winner based on a scoring algorithm. This process was critical as it was used for prospect assignments across multiple business units.
