Cloud-enabled manufacturing

Industry challenge

Accept the challenges of globalization and revolution. Emerge stronger than ever with clear digitization strategies.

The trend in the manufacturing industry is strongly towards individualized products. Off-the-shelf offerings are a discontinued model in many areas. Customers contribute – regardless of whether it is function, shape, material or color. But more complex specifications often have to be coordinated.

This means that sales, production and service must be networked and digitized. The solution: digitalization with a CRM system, smart and cross-departmental. The transfer of data and information in real time gives your employees the chance to always respond to the wishes of the customers – on demand. Effective cooperation between all departments is achieved with digital strategies: from the first contact to the order and transfer of the order to production – from the click behavior in the marketing newsletter to the phone call with the customer service representative. All in one system.

Digital transformation in service for office and field staff is indispensable today. Signing protocols by hand was yesterday – give your employees a mobile device. With the Salesforce solution Field Service Lightning, service requests are automatically imported and processed. Intelligent resource planning enables a high level of efficiency. Orders, including directions, required materials and detailed repair description, are transferred directly to the app and your employees know immediately what needs to be done.

Solutions for new and existing Salesforce systems

 

What do you want to know?

A CRM system like Salesforce is suitable for companies of any size. Thanks to the scalable and expandable functions, growth with Salesforce is possible for any company size. An introduction to start-ups helps to scale thanks to the clear database and automation. For medium-sized companies and corporations, digitalization with Salesforce offers the advantage that all departments are networked in a cloud and can therefore work together efficiently and transparently. There is a suitable solution for every company size and every need.

Networked departments and collaboration in one system – Salesforce as the basis for a professional, digital infrastructure. Product, customer, partner or machine data are networked and serve as a central database. This gives you a 360-degree view of your customers, partners, suppliers and your entire supply chain. Digitalization in service gives you a sustainable competitive advantage, as you save time and resources, increase efficiency through automation and increase customer satisfaction in the long term.

As a cloud-based solution, Salesforce already offers numerous native customization options. As a Salesforce Boutique Partner, we know the industry-specific challenges and can use our expertise in the manufacturing industry to adapt your Salesforce system to your needs. Using Salesforce or Custom Development, we further develop the system as you need it. The connection of your ERP or business software, we solve with our developers.

The integration of Salesforce with an ERP system such as SAP or with a software developed in-house can be implemented in two ways. On the one hand, we use existing API solutions from our partners. If this is not possible, our in-house development team develops the interface itself and thus ensures a smooth exchange of data between the systems. You can determine yourself which data and how the transfer takes place.

As a cloud-based CRM solution, Salesforce protects your data with encryption and central storage locations as well as numerous backups and backups right from the start. Thanks to the encryption, the data cannot be accessed and you can work with Salesforce with peace of mind. If you would like additional encryption of your data streams, you can introduce Salesforce Shield.
