How Eukalin Transformed a Fragmented Salesforce Environment into a Foundation for Growth

The Winning Solution: Salesforce Health Check, Configuration Refactoring, Automated Lab Referral Process, and Administrator Training

A Growing Manufacturer Ready to Get More From Salesforce

Eukalin Corp has served the North American paper converting market since 2008. In 2022, the company expanded significantly — acquiring the assets of Adhesives Specialists in Allentown, PA, including manufacturing operations and real estate. Today, Eukalin manufactures, markets, and supports high-performance adhesives for more than 300 packaging, industrial bag, e-commerce, envelope, print finishing, and bindery manufacturers throughout North America.

As a long-time Salesforce customer, Eukalin had the platform in place. But a series of internal changes — including a company rebrand and evolving business processes — had left their Salesforce environment misaligned with how the business actually operated. Adoption had suffered, and the platform wasn't delivering the value it should.

Eukalin needed a trusted partner to help them fix that. They turned to Summit for a Salesforce Health Check — and to begin laying the groundwork for more advanced marketing optimization ahead.

The Challenge: A Salesforce Environment That Had Drifted From the Business

Eukalin's Salesforce environment had been shaped over time by multiple administrators, each making changes that reflected the business at that moment, but leaving behind a system that had grown inconsistent and increasingly difficult for the team to use with confidence. When your CRM doesn't align with how your team works, adoption suffers. That's exactly what Eukalin experienced.

Three specific challenges defined the engagement:

  • Inconsistent configuration — multiple administrators over time had left Profiles, Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Quotes misaligned with Eukalin's current business processes
  • No automated Lab Referral process — a key workflow lacked the automation and integrated questionnaire needed to support the business efficiently
  • Limited visibility — without reliable reports and dashboards, the ability to make informed, data-driven decisions was constrained

With a rebrand underway and marketing optimization goals on the horizon, Eukalin needed a clean, well-configured Salesforce foundation to build on.

The Solution: A Salesforce Health Check Built Around Eukalin's Business

Summit worked closely alongside Eukalin's internal team — taking a white-glove approach that prioritized collaboration and flexibility throughout the engagement. The work focused on four key areas:

Configuration Refactoring: Summit refactored Eukalin's core Salesforce objects — Profiles, Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Quotes — to accurately reflect their current business processes. A CRM that matches how your team works is one your team will actually use.

Automated Lab Referral Process: Summit designed and built an automated Lab Referral process complete with an integrated questionnaire — replacing an unstructured workflow with a consistent, scalable process.

Salesforce Reports and Dashboards: Summit built comprehensive reports and dashboards to enhance visibility and support better decision-making across the organization.

Administrator and User Training: Summit provided hands-on Administrator and User training to ensure Eukalin's team could confidently navigate and leverage their updated Salesforce environment from day one.

The Results: A Foundation Built for What's Next

The impact of the Salesforce Health Check reached well beyond the initial scope of the engagement:

  • A Salesforce environment realigned with the business — refactored configurations that reflect how Eukalin actually operates, removing the friction that had been holding adoption back

  • Automated, scalable workflows — a structured Lab Referral process that replaced inconsistency with repeatability

  • Stronger visibility — reports and dashboards that give the team the insight needed to make confident, data-driven decisions

  • An ongoing partnership — Eukalin continues to engage Summit through Strategic Managed Services, refining processes and expanding Salesforce adoption across the team

  • ERP integration — Eukalin subsequently engaged Summit to resolve integration challenges between their ERP and Salesforce via DB Sync

"Easy to Work With"
Angie W.

Northwoods worked with Summit to help migrate our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system to Salesforce.  Summit was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with.  They were able to help us configure the system to handle complex business processes while making the system easy for end users.  They were also able to migrate all our legacy Dynamics data to the new Salesforce system.  Summit helped train our technical team on Salesforce administration while keeping the project on time and under budget.  I highly recommend Summit for any Salesforce-related project.

"Mind Blowing!"
Rachael H.

As a leader of a small non-profit aimed to scale rapidly and efficiently, I knew it was critical to transition from antiquated spreadsheets to a sophisticated CRM. We dabbled in Salesforce on our own the year prior. To put it mildly, I was terrified to go there again. Summit met my apprehension with confidence and reassurance. They were timely, efficient and positioned us to utilize Salesforce in ways we hadn’t imagined. Every day I’m in awe of what Salesforce can do; to the team’s credit for imparting their wisdom. Summit has positioned us for unprecedented opportunities at Walk with a Doc. Thank you!

"BEST Salesforce Consultant Available"
Catherine Z.

We went through 3 consultants before finding Summit. The difference was night and day, and the cost was very reasonable. They helped us get our Communities up and running in less than a week (after 2 other teams essentially dragged their feet for 9 months - yes, 9 months!). We are ecstatic! We also have Managed Services with them, for a few hundred bucks a month they are our go-to for anything Salesforce. The team is INSTANTLY responsive - like within 2 minutes. I have experienced other consultants and can tell you, there is no comparison. Hire Summit!

"Did a Wonderful Job"
Paige B.

We have primarily been using Salesforce for our sales team. Recently we decided to bring our support team on and Summit did an awesome job helping us get everything set up the way we needed.

"Great Learning and Implementation"
Annette H.

Great experience with Summit. They are very knowledgeable about Salesforce and their turn around is outstanding. I am looking forward to working Part 2 of our plan with them.

"Transformation Data w/ Excellent Service"
Kay W.

The skill set and knowledge that Summit has brought to this project far surpasses our initial expectation- especially since our initial contact with Salesforce corp. was challenged in regards to utilizing training videos to suit our scope and need. Summit and team has been helpful in supporting our team with a custom solution in order for us to be able to serve our community better. They are timely and professional, and eager to learn about the why before telling us the what.

"Made our Dream CRM a Reality!"
Matt S.

Summit made our Salesforce dream a reality. As a small non-profit on a limited budget with very specific CRM needs we were challenged to find a suitable Salesforce partner. Fortunately we were introduced to Summit, and from day one they made the formidable task of implementing Salesforce doable (and even enjoyable!). The Summit team are pros, from their accessibility and communication to industry knowledge and attitude, they never said 'no' to a request. When we encountered hiccups along the way they took the time to trouble shoot and make fixes, even when it was outside the original scope of the project. We didn't deviate from the project timeline or budget, which says a lot considering our custom needs for data collection/reporting, donor communication, and third party plug-ins. If you are considering implementing Salesforce or have any Salesforce needs, I highly recommend Summit and their team.
