Dynamically updates IHS forecast data, but it's complicated and requires numerous improvements
There are numerous things they can do to improve the system, which I have communicated repeatedly. We just had our biweekly meeting with the team. Their customer service can be better. They're responsive when we have an urgent issue, but for a lot of the longer term things, such as adjustments we want made in the system or additions we want to be made, we see little to no progress. I do not prefer the role-based access controls in Campfire Interactive. The role-based system makes sense on paper, but a company such as ours, where people wear multiple hats and different people have multiple roles in some cases, makes it very difficult at times to assign the correct people in the process. I've asked for years to give me, as an admin in the system, the ability to ignore the role and just select the person I want assigned to a task, because the role-based system makes it way more complicated than that. The forecast accuracy of Campfire Interactive is usually good. It has helped us save time and costs. However, we have had issues, and actually are currently having issues where some of the take-rate numbers get messed up. When we load it in an IHS forecast, if a specific program in that forecast has added years, the take rates are not applied to those additional years. It ignores the prior input, which leads to errors and data that is not accurate. 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. The reporting works pretty efficiently, but it can be enhanced by Power BI, which they don't use. It's all Excel-based, which is functional and works. The pricing system, when you get it input, is good, but it is a lot of painful work to get the correct data. I have been working in the system for 3 years. We still have customers where we don't have the dynamic pricing set up, partially because that's our fault; we don't know everything that we should know. It's not entirely on Campfire Interactive, but when we get that information, it can be very difficult to translate it into the Campfire Interactive system and get it calculating properly.

Offers the capability to customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything
The best thing is we can customize it. For example, there are some standard procedures in CRM, the opportunity that is standard. Other than that, we can create customized software on a business-to-business basis. So, if I don't want to follow any standard upgrade of CRM, I can customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything. I can make my own CRM. The analytics in Oracle CX Sales are good. We can use ODA (Oracle Digital Assistant) to track data. There are some out-of-the-box reports for things like currency exchange data or product lists. These features are there by default. If you need to create new custom reports, it's possible to do so. They've been lagging behind the visual builder recently, but the product has improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Enhancing our commercial strategy has been a significant advantage, resulting in millions of dollars in additional revenue that our sales team has been able to achieve through effective planning."
"I have recommended Campfire Interactive to at least 10 companies over my career, including some of the largest Tier 1 automotive customer suppliers in the world."
"I appreciate the dashboard features and widget features of Campfire Interactive because it has the ability to consolidate data in bar graphs or pie charts, making it very easy to visualize the situation with new opportunities."
"The combination Campfire uses for the automotive sector, particularly the IHS forecast, offers unique predictive capabilities."
"I appreciate that Campfire Interactive has deep integration with SAP, which helps a lot."
"I appreciate the flexibility of the company more than any specific software feature. I have worked with SAP and other software providers before, and since it is still a smaller company, there is a very personal exchange. If we have a simple need that does not require coding, the company is willing to make changes overnight or even within hours. They are truly flexible and customer-oriented."
"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."
"Campfire Interactive has saved us time because the data that we are collecting is the same."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"The integration with other systems is easy."
"It covers sales very well."
"Oracle CX Sales is workflow-driven, aligning with best practices in our sales process."
"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"The solution integrates well."
 

Cons

"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."
"One aspect that could be simplified with Campfire Interactive is the process of entering opportunities into the portal. Currently, if we receive a quotation for 20 parts, we can enter one opportunity in our homegrown system that allows us to list all 20 parts within that single opportunity, but Campfire Interactive requires creating separate opportunities for each part."
"I do not prefer the role-based access controls in Campfire Interactive. The role-based system makes sense on paper, but a company such as ours, where people wear multiple hats and different people have multiple roles in some cases, makes it very difficult at times to assign the correct people in the process. I've asked for years to give me, as an admin in the system, the ability to ignore the role and just select the person I want assigned to a task, because the role-based system makes it way more complicated than that."
"From a technical standpoint, there are some limitations within the tool that are somewhat out of Campfire Interactive's control because it's a complicated industry to try and have one solution that fits all vendors. There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected."
"Regarding BI Reporting, the standard reporting module within Campfire Interactive primarily gives you an Excel data dump, and while there are some visualizations for creating dashboards, I found those limited for my needs. We started presenting the data to Microsoft Power BI, which is much better for generating the reports I want."
"Because we use a multitude of modules, some of the interactions from one module to the other are not as seamless or fluid."
"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."
"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."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."
"Support is very poor."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."
"The tool must allow developers to check logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Compared to everything else I have seen, it is very fair."
"Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses."
"The product is pricey."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"The price is reasonable."
"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."
