So you’ve booked a deal, but what happens next? Is the manual handoff from sales to onboarding or customer success slowing you down?

In this video, we outline how integrations and automations between these apps can:

  • Create a new project for time tracking in Salesforce every time a deal is signed in PandaDoc
  • Sync timesheet data from Salesforce to Sage Intacct to ensure the project remains under budget
  • Track the progress of a project from Kick Off through Hypercare, including company-wide notifications via Slack and Philips Hue Smart lights throughout the office
