Their Story

Revenue Storm is a sales performance consulting firm that operates globally, leveraging the latest in behavioral science to empower salespeople to achieve their goals and exceed their potential. They offer a range of services, including consulting, assessments, software, training, and coaching, to improve client sales effectiveness, increase win rates, and drive revenue growth. With a presence in over 60 countries and the ability to deliver services in seven languages, they serve a diverse range of clients worldwide.

We were relieved to find Avaza after failed experiments with other scheduling and project management platforms.

What were the challenges?

At Revenue Storm, we’re all about helping salespeople reach their full potential and exceed their goals. As our company continued to grow at a rapid pace, we faced a challenge: how to effectively manage our training sessions and client engagements across multiple international locations.

Our team knew that finding the right system to handle scheduling, project management, timesheets, and expense tracking was key to our success. But finding a system that met all of our needs and seamlessly integrated into our workflow proved to be no easy feat.

We experimented with two well-known scheduling and project management tools, but our team found them to be overly complex and difficult to use. The last thing we wanted was to spend more time trying to manage our tools than actually growing our business.

So, we set out on a mission to find the perfect solution – a single system that could handle everything we needed and streamline our workflow. And after some searching, we found it

“We researched over 30 systems and [Avaza] just seemed to fit most of our needs. The scheduling feature along with project management is awesome. Timesheets module is a great fit for HR and Expenses feature is working for Accounting. It just checks off most boxes compared to other systems. It is a very easy system to train others on, very easy to use, and very affordable.”

Their Victory

Revenue Storm has found a game-changing solution to link all of their project management and collaboration efforts around client engagements: Avaza. With this platform, schedulers and project managers can now effectively collaborate and keep projects moving smoothly, all while working towards the same goal. The result is seamless communication between clients and internal teams, leading to faster project completion times.

According to Brittany Rizzo, Manager of Client Systems, Producers, and Client Delivery at Revenue Storm, getting started with a new system like Avaza requires nominating an organized team member who is skilled in project management. This team member can help create a vision for how to set up the system in a way that will make everyone’s job easier. By leveraging the right technology, your team can streamline your workflow and improve collaboration, leading to better outcomes for both your clients and your business.

“Wow, with the amount of projects it has completely helped the internal team make sure we have all our ducks in a row. We can communicate on each task and add notes to make sure we haven’t forgotten to execute anything. It keeps projects moving and allows us to have each other’s backs.”

“Avaza has not only been a great working system for us, but their customer service is great! Always available and friendly and willing to help us if we have questions. The Avaza team has made many upgrades in a short amount of time. I love that we as customers can make requests, and their team files them in a list and prioritizes them. It makes us feel as a customer, we have been heard. We have seen many of requested features implemented. Thank you!”

Favorite Features

Resource Scheduling

Our favourite feature is the team schedule feature, due to the pure ease of scheduling assignments, and the ability to color code things. “Avaza is a scheduler’s dream! It’s beautiful!”

Time Tracking

Our biggest challenge was finding a system that works for scheduling and project managers alike so that all of our work can happen in one system. It was a complete bonus for both timecards and expenses to also be in Avaza. It helped us fulfill a lot of wishes in one system.

Project Management

If a project manager hasn't followed up on a task it allows all other team members to step in and make sure the task is executed. We are all here together and are working towards the same goal. This system helps us do just that!
