Background
Salesloft is a sales engagement platform founded in September 2011. Though its original product offering focused on sales development, the company has since expanded its platform to offer functionality for the entire sales organization. SalesLoft has more than 2,000 customers using their sales engagement platform including Square, MuleSoft, Alteryx, and Dell. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional offices in San Francisco, New York, and Guadalajara, Mexico, Salesloft has more than 700 employees and was, recognized as the #1 best place to work in Atlanta.
The Challenge
The SalesLoft accounting team was manually updating all of their sales orders and customer payments, and it was a time-consuming process involving over 40 hours a week. As the company grew and expanded, the accounting department contemplated adding an additional employee to handle the workload. Being a SaaS company, they began to wonder if there was a way to change this process to scale with their growth.
Rather than spending 40 hours a week on tedious data entry tasks, I can do it for only an hour of my day. CloudExtend has made a huge difference in time saved and improved the accuracy of our data.

The Solution
At the recommendation of an employee who had familiarity with CloudExtend Excel Data Management from a former job, SalesLoft decided to trial the CloudExtend Excel Data Management App. They immediately saw that the app would allow them to process their accounting data in a fast Excel environment while also improving the accuracy of their accounting data. There was no disruption to the business and immediately SalesLoft received a return on investment for time and resources. The biggest benefit and most importantly, morale was boosted after increasing the accuracy of their data and saying goodbye to a time-consuming manual process.
The Bottom Line
Implementing CloudExtend Excel Data Management didn’t interfere with the SalesLoft accounting department output at all and became a scalable process. SalesLoft is growing at an accelerated pace, and processes must be fast and accurate to meet growth demands. Manually approved sales orders and customer payments are a thing of the past, and the actual quality of NetSuite data is increased by reducing human errors. CloudExtend Excel Data Management for NetSuite enabled SalesLoft to use powerful native Excel functionality to create new records and update existing NetSuite data directly from within Excel. There is also easy security since roles and permissions are enforced by CloudExtend.
