Case Study
Client Overview
A MenteStack customer has earned its reputation as a premier provider of industrial equipment and services, catering to various industries across the Southwest United States. Their expertise lies in delivering top-quality pump installations, lift trucks, and materials handling solutions.
Challenges
As this customer continued to expand their service offerings and customer base, the need for a more streamlined and efficient service management system became apparent. The existing systems were struggling to handle the increasing complexity of their operations and the growing demand for their services.To address these challenges, they decided to harness the capabilities of ServiceMax, a leading field service management solution that seamlessly integrates with Salesforce.
Solution Approach
Collaboration between ServiceMax experts and MenteStack consultants resulted in a comprehensive solution that tackled the challenge from multiple angles.
ServiceMax Process Customization
Experts from ServiceMax worked closely with the customer to deeply understand their existing service processes. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the ServiceMax platform was customized to align precisely with unique requirements. This tailored approach ensured that the new solution would enhance efficiency without disrupting existing workflows.
Integration Excellence
The end-to-end work order management process involved several steps to be completed in Microsoft Dynamics AX (now called Dynamics 365 Finance) and ServiceMax. MenteStack played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics AX. Using the Boomi integration platform, we designed, implemented, and fine-tuned integrations that facilitated the seamless exchange of data between the two systems. Scheduled processes ensured that updates from AX to Salesforce were regularly synchronized, while real-time platform events enabled swift updates from Salesforce to AX.
Collaborative Mentestack Support
While ServiceMax experts led the customization efforts, MenteStack played a crucial role in providing Salesforce expertise and support. Their role will extend beyond the initial implementation phase. After the ServiceMax platform is configured to the customer’s needs, the MenteStack team will remain onboard to provide ongoing support and maintenance, leveraging their Salesforce administration expertise.

The strategic collaboration between the customer, ServiceMax experts, and MenteStack yielded remarkable outcomes.
