PAIN POINTS WE SOLVE

Common Challenges We Solve

Professional services firms juggle pipeline pressure, resource constraints, and delivery handoffs every quarter — and Salesforce is uniquely positioned to unify the chain.

Pipeline Visibility & Accuracy

Sales pipelines run on spreadsheets, gut feel, and outdated reports — leaving leadership flying blind on forecasts, win rates, and revenue commitments.

Sales-to-Delivery Disconnect

Closed deals get dropped into project delivery with missing context, manual handoffs, and rework — eroding margins from day one.

Manual Resource Utilization

Resource scheduling and capacity planning run in spreadsheets disconnected from sales, billing, and project systems — leaving teams over- or under-utilized.

Fragmented Client Relationships

Account history is scattered across email, CRM, project tools, and billing — making it impossible to see the full picture of a client engagement.

The hardest part of running a professional services org on Salesforce isn’t tracking projects — it’s billing them. Milestone-based billing, time-and-materials invoicing, retainer drawdowns, and revenue recognition compliance all collide at the point of monthly close. Cloud Nexus implements milestone-based billing on Salesforce Revenue Cloud for services firms — connecting project deliverables to billing schedules so finance closes the month from Salesforce data, not from spreadsheets reconciled against three different systems.
