New forecasting process has cut update time in half and gives instant, accurate sales visibility
From my perspective as an admin user, I like the fact that I am able to get data out much quicker and it is much easier to use than SAP. From my colleagues' perspective as actual users and key account managers, they appreciate it because it is much quicker than moving around in SAP. They can copy an opportunity and all that data gets transferred over, allowing them to update it extremely quickly. The rule-based access control of Campfire Interactive is excellent. We set up a bunch of different levels of what they can see. This was really important for GDPR compliance for our European colleagues regarding what data would be allowed to be seen by whom. We could set up access where key account managers are only able to see their relevant forecasts while giving access to a CBU leader who can see all of the people who report into them, and someone like an SVP can see everybody. Having that rule-based permission is really great. The forecast accuracy of Campfire Interactive is good. It is all dependent on the data you put into the system, but there are certainly no issues with FX translation or incorrect data somehow showing up. Whatever data you put in the system is accurately reflected when you pull the report. The biggest advantage I have seen with Campfire Interactive versus our previous system, SAP, is the speed to make an opportunity. Even going through the CPQ process, you can do it much faster having it all in one system. Being able to pull reports as an admin, I can pull reports on when people have made changes, which makes it much easier if someone makes a mistake or if I need to understand why certain data is present. We can go in and look at version history. Monthly we run a locked version so we can very easily compare what has changed month over month if there have been drastic changes. In our previous system, I would have various downloads of SAP and someone would ask me what changed, and I would be looking through my Excel download files trying to find a file with the two projects I could compare. Now, I just go into Campfire Interactive, go to reports, include frozen, and I can select whatever months I want and compare that exact project over multiple times. That is way quicker and way easier to use. I like the functionality of being able to pull reports right from the system, and data accuracy is great.

It streamlined our project management and resource management process.
I think the functionality with the reporting capability can be improved and I know there's a new version of KeyedIn coming out. I haven't had the opportunity yet to look at the new version, but I would say that reporting is actually one are for improvement. The way their functionality is set could be improved because, basically, what it does is: you can pull a resourcing report and you can pull a financial report, and it seems like they pull from different databases. You're not always able to compile all the data into one report. You have to pull separate reports to look at different data. That's one thing that I found that has been kind of hard with KeyedIn, because you can't view all the data you want into one report. It's not that flexible. You have to work with two separate reports in order to come to look at the data that you want. I would say that's one area for improvement: You're just not able to filter all the same data into one report. I'm also looking for integration here. Integration with, for example, a BI platform. We're implementing a BI platform here. I know that in KeyedIn, there's no real data connector that connects straight – although you can still connect via API - but KeyedIn does not have a data connector right now. I talk to the rep each week and that's something that I think would be a big win for KeyedIn. If it had a data connector already, it would be easier to integrate with other platforms.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the visibility of global opportunities. Prior to using Campfire Interactive, we would conduct Excel-based reporting and sales meetings with everyone bringing their information. Now, we can check it daily, look at the reports daily, and see what is coming into the system and what needs to be managed."
"Forecast accuracy in Campfire Interactive has saved time for the team that prepares the forecast."
"The best features Campfire Interactive offers include the opportunity to have a closed loop system from the start of a quote or opportunity through planning and the end of production on a program."
"It fixed an issue where we are able to get all of our information in one spot. We have 23 different manufacturing plants whose systems do not communicate with each other. Campfire Interactive allowed us to bring all of our data into one platform."
"The most important feature from Campfire Interactive is its ability to work together with other different applications that we use in our company, and I think that's one of the best features it has."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Campfire Interactive is probably the forecasting module, the way it links to IHS for the IHS forecast."
"Campfire Interactive allows sales teams to manage forecasting in a more efficient, streamlined way, and the quoting portion flows directly into the sales forecasting, which allows for better data security and data accuracy for our sales forecasting and quote management in my day-to-day work."
"Campfire Interactive automates all our data sets compared to the other software."
"KeyedIn has been very valuable in helping us streamline our process here in terms of project management and resource management."
"It is a practical and useful tool which benefits both us and our clients."
 

Cons

"Because we use a multitude of modules, some of the interactions from one module to the other are not as seamless or fluid. I would like to see some more fluidness from one module to the other."
"The UI itself is not very user-friendly. The reporting out of it isn't very user-friendly either."
"I recently discussed with them the need for better KPI measurements in the automotive world. A big KPI in the automotive world is the bookings of the future years, and we measure that not in annual revenue but in the lifetime of any given vehicle."
"We still have not seen a return on investment because we are not fully implemented; we are still using two software systems and making the transition probably within the next month, so I cannot say for sure right now as that is still an ongoing process."
"One area where Campfire Interactive can improve is their reporting tool, as I believe that area is very weak at the moment."
"It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"We just went through that last month, where we had reported data to our board of directors and then came to find out that some parts of the data were incorrect, which is really frustrating."
"I can complete in Excel in an hour what might take me six hours in Campfire Interactive."
"It was more complicated than it needed to be, but with a KeyedIn implementation manager it was not an issue."
"I would say that reporting is actually one area for improvement. You're just not able to filter all the same data into one report."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to everything else I have seen, it is very fair."
"I don't know the full scope of our subscriptions for all the modules, but from what I've seen before, it seems fairly expensive. The high cost may drive some potential clients to consider developing a homegrown solution internally if they have a competent finance group."
"Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses."
"It's fairly priced."
"We had a negotiation with them back in March of this year to extend our contract for 1 year. They were willing to work with us to negotiate different terms and a different cost of production. They were asking for a certain percentage increase, and we said that was not acceptable. They were willing to settle on a different number."
