CHAPTER 1
Quicker ROI
1. See ROI twice as fast with Cloud Coach
Your organization has already invested heavily in Salesforce. Leveraging that existing investment to expedite and improve your PSA processes makes a lot of sense – why wouldn’t you want to maximize the efficiency of your teams, and onboard customers faster?
Using a solution that can integrate with your existing information in Salesforce is a cost effective way to manage your projects and processes, as you avoid the need for another standalone, and context-free, system. But simply adopting a Salesforce-native system alone won’t guarantee a quick return on investment.
Cloud Coach users are reporting a return on investment twice as fast as Kimble users, and three times faster than users of Financial Force. But… why?
Competitive price points tailored to business needs, intuitive user interfaces enabling quicker company adoption and quick start up times all form part of the ROI picture. But ultimately, our customers advocate for Cloud Coach because it works.
Cloud Coach has empowered us to move off of different systems to streamline and optimize our processes, which has allowed us to manage projects more efficiently, log time, and have more clear reporting across the business.

CHAPTER 2
Meets Requirements
2. G2 users rank Cloud Coach higher for meeting your PSA requirements
No two businesses are the same. So, why would you settle for a PSA solution that’s not right for your organization?
Many solutions available on the AppExchange began life as simple Salesforce project management tools, with professional services functionality bolted on as an afterthought. Yes, these solutions can meet some PSA requirements, but they don’t necessarily have the breadth and depth required to meet the unique requirements of your organization across the lifespan of a project; from CPQ all the way through to resource utilization, change control, and ultimately billing.
With Cloud Coach’s full suite of Professional Services Automation tools, you can take your services organization to the next level. Whether you’re dealing with Fixed Price or Time and Materials deliveries, Cloud Coach helps you do more with less by maximizing the efficiency of your team.
It has everything you need for complex project management, supports most (if not all) of the project methodologies and it’s user interface makes using it a pleasure. Because it’s built on the Salesforce Platform you don’t need to worry about integration issues and you can easily adjust it to your needs.

CHAPTER 3
Ease of Use
3. Cloud Coach is easier to use than other PSA solutions
When looking at the right solutions for your organization, there are lots of factors to consider; like data security and costs, for example. Something that is often overlooked though, is knowledge.
Your business uses Salesforce already. And you’ve likely invested in your people, ensuring they have sufficient training levels to take on the tasks required by a Salesforce admin. If you decide to use an off-Salesforce platform solution, you’ll need to upskill even more members of your team on a third-party onboarding platform. By using a PSA solution native to Salesforce, most of your training is already done. If you can use Salesforce, you can definitely use Cloud Coach!
Cloud Coach also allows you to templatize and automate your repeatable processes meaning you’ll be able to follow your organization’s best practices, while also saving time during project creation and set up.
What really sets Cloud Coach apart from the competitors here is our thoughtfully designed user experience – with easy on the eye reports and dashboards allowing users to take their Salesforce knowledge and intuitively take their organization’s PSA to the next level.
Ease of use and great UI! The screens are clean and uncluttered making for easy navigation which helps drive user adoption.

Ease of Doing Business With
5. G2 users say it’s easier to do business with Cloud Coach
Buying software shouldn’t be difficult. If you decide to use a Salesforce-native app for your PSA, you can skip the lengthy security check stage completely: they were already completed when your organization introduced Salesforce.
But things aren’t always straightforward and sometimes obstacles appear where they shouldn’t, from unanswered emails through to pushy salespeople, or even messy handoffs, there’s the always the potential for things to be more difficult than they need to be.
As our G2 customer reviews show, we pride ourselves on being transparent with our customers. From finding the right solution for them, through to ongoing support, we go on the journey with our customers all the way.
