How Salesforce for Manufacturing helps drive productivity

Salesforce for Manufacturing

Salesforce for Manufacturing is a cloud-based software solution that helps manufacturing companies manage their operations. It provides a complete view of the manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished products, and enables companies to track progress and identify bottlenecks. 

The platform also allows companies to share data between different departments, such as sales and production, to streamline processes and improve communication. In addition, the software offers several features specifically designed for the manufacturing sector, such as quality management and supplier management. As a result, Salesforce for Manufacturing is a valuable tool for any company that wants to improve its manufacturing operations.

Helps Emphasize Things That Matter

In today's business world, it's more important than ever to have a salesforce specifically tailored to your company's needs. For manufacturing companies, this often means sales reps with a deep understanding of the product and the manufacturing process. 

By working with a Salesforce Consulting Partner that understands your business, you can be sure that the sales reps are emphasizing the features and benefits that matter most to your customers. Doing this, in turn, can help you close more sales and grow your business. By partnering with a specialized salesforce, you can be confident that your manufacturing company is making the most of its sales potential.

Speed Up the Delivery Process

To be responsive to customer demands, the salesforce for manufacturing helps speed up delivery. The Salesforce platform helps manage inbound leads and data so that the production line can be more agile and lean. As a result, customers can expect a quicker turnaround time for their products. The platform helps to keep track of inventory levels and make changes accordingly. This way, customers always have the latest and most outstanding products.  The software allows users to quickly access sales reports to decide better where to allocate resources. In addition, it provides valuable insights into customer buying trends which helps you anticipate future demand. As a result, Salesforce for Manufacturing helps speed up the delivery process by making it easier to manage data and optimize production.

Helps Integration for Sales Productivity

Sales teams that use multiple systems often find it challenging to prioritize high-value activities while still spending minimal time switching between tools. Salesforce for manufacturing can help reduce the number of necessary tools by providing the real-time product, price, and customer data. 

While using Salesforce, there are some issues that you might need to consider and fix first:

Getting the real-time product, price, and customer data from systems to manage orders and quickly resolve cases

Integrating third-party applications into your CRM. By taking these issues into account, you can ensure that your sales team is as productive as possible.

Better Client Relationships through Quoting

The goal of any business is to close more deals, and a big part of that is creating accurate quotes. For manufacturers with large product catalogs, manually creating quotes can be time-consuming and error-prone, slowing down the deal flow and frustrating prospects.

Sales reps must know the process of generating a quote and how long it takes. They should also position services and warranties correctly when pricing. Understanding how to collaborate with distributors and resellers and the channel used to share the product catalog is also crucial.

By streamlining the quoting process, businesses can create better relationships with their clients by providing accurate, timely quotes. It can lead to more deals being closed and a healthier bottom line.

How you can Leverage Salesforce for Manufacturing

Salesforce for Manufacturing also offers a variety of advanced features, such as SalesforceIQ Inbox for Sales, which allows you to manage your sales email inboxes and contacts from one place. The platform also offers analytics tools that help you gain insights into your manufacturing process and improve decision-making. Leveraging Salesforce for Manufacturing can increase productivity, optimize performance, and achieve significant growth in your manufacturing business.

Simply put, Managed Services, and specifically a Managed Services Provider (MSP), handles the daily operations of your specialized technology applications so you and your teams can focus on driving revenue. Typically, an MSP:

Keeps your technology aligned with your business goals.

Provides enhanced capabilities and data visibility to your company’s users.

Allows for in-house sales, IT and support staff to focus on more strategic projects and programs.

Frees your team to focus on your company’s core competencies.

But how do you know when it’s really time to enlist the services of an MSP before your day-to-day business is impacted?

Manufacturer Transforms Customer and Team Member Experience with Salesforce

On this episode of “Salesforce Simplified,” we’re speaking with Chip Boeneke, VP of Information Technology at Residential Elevators, about digital experiences within the manufacturing industry, and in particular, his company’s recent digital transformation.

In a nutshell, an Order Management System (OMS) – such as Salesforce Order Management™ (SOM) – is your central hub for handling all aspects of the order lifecycle, including order capture, fulfillment, shipping, payment processing, and service.

And while an OMS itself hasn’t changed much throughout the years, what has changed are buyers’ expectations around how fast their orders end up on their doorstep. With same-day shipping becoming the norm, customers expect an efficient (and friendly) ordering experience.

That’s why order management now demands a multifaceted system, one where every step of the ordering, tracking, and fulfillment process is taken into consideration.

Early in 2020, with the world quarantining at home, virtual networking meetings began allowing people around the world to build meaningful connections. For Ad Victoriam Solutions (AdVic®), one of those connections we made was to Tiffany Spencer, who was at a virtual event hosted by Atlanta-based Goodie Nation. Tiffany ran HBCUForce (now Tech Forward), an organization committed to equipping HBCU students with Salesforce® skills & credentials that would prepare them for a career in the “Ohana.”

Over the next few years, we watched Tech Forward grow. Like most corners of the IT industry, the Salesforce ecosystem celebrates a good bit of diversity, but still lags behind when it comes to people of color. Tech Forward aims to change that and is doing the needed work to bring talented Black Salesforce professionals into an industry expected to create 9.3 million new jobs by 2026.

The Ultimate Guide to MuleSoft Salesforce Integration

Mulesoft Salesforce Integration

Salesforce is the leading CRM software in the world that enables companies to manage their customer relationships more efficiently. MuleSoft can connect any system, application, data, and device to unleash the power of the Customer 360. Salesforce and MuleSoft allow companies to unlock data across systems, develop scalable integration frameworks, and ultimately rapidly create differentiated experiences. This guide will discuss various integration patterns, Salesforce products, and how to connect to third-party systems. Let's get started!

One can take different approaches when it comes to integration, depending on the specific use case. The three most common integration patterns are point-to-point, hub-and-spoke, and centralized.

Point-to-point is the simplest form of integration and is typically used for small-scale projects. In this pattern, each system is connected to every other system. The main drawback of this approach is that it can become very complex and challenging to manage as the number of systems increases.

Hub-and-spoke is a more scalable and manageable approach than point-to-point. In this pattern, a central hub is used to connect all the systems. The advantage of this approach is that it is easier to add and remove systems from the integration.

Centralized is the most scalable and flexible integration pattern. In this pattern, a central platform connects all the systems. This approach allows you to add new capabilities and integrations as needed. It also allows you to reuse existing integrations and components.

Now that we've covered the different types of integration patterns, let's look at some of the Salesforce products that can be integrated with MuleSoft.

Sales Cloud: Sales Cloud is a cloud-based CRM software that enables sales teams to manage customer relationships. MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform can be used to integrate Sales Cloud with other systems.

Service Cloud: Service Cloud is a cloud-based CRM software that enables customer service teams to manage customer relationships. MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform can be used to integrate Service Cloud with other systems.

Lightning Platform: Lightning Platform is a cloud-based application development platform that enables developers to build applications faster. MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform can be used to integrate Lightning Platform with other systems.

Now that we've covered some of the Salesforce products that can be integrated with MuleSoft let's take a look at how to connect to third-party systems.

MuleSoft provides pre-built connectors for popular third-party systems. These connectors make it easy to connect to these systems and start integrating them with MuleSoft.

Some of the popular connectors that MuleSoft provides are:

Salesforce Connector: The Salesforce Connector allows you to connect to Salesforce and access its data.

Database Connectors: Database Connectors allow you to connect to databases and access their data.

Web Services Connectors: Web Services Connectors allow you to connect to web services and access their data.

You can develop integrated applications using Lightning Platform, Heroku, and MuleSoft's Anypoint Platforms. You can use these applications to achieve a single customer view, connect to Salesforce 360, and more.

If you're looking for a more efficient way to manage your customer relationships, MuleSoft and Salesforce are great options. Together, they offer the ability to unlock data across systems, develop scalable integration frameworks, and ultimately rapidly create differentiated, connected experiences.

The Client Challenge

An AdVic client’s technology was lagging behind and they were becoming less and less relevant to their merchants. They had an antiquated, homegrown system called Business Platform (still in-service for now) that sorely needed a modern, more functional interface – and had a seamless mobile experience, too.

To get there, the client knew they had to start offering services to their merchants and their partners’ merchants (B2B and B2C) to remain competitive. Specifically, the payment gateway provider had a wish list that included:

Supplying their customers with a device that swipes credit cards in their brick and mortar stores.

The ability to accept online transactions.

Offer self-service options to their merchants.

Implement modern APIs that allow them to do more for themselves and their customers.

Offer the latest touchless pay terminals.

Developments in technology continue to progress and are furthering to improve human lives through convenience and recreation. In the 21st century, it is safe to say that “data is the new oil.” With everything being digitized, data is the key for smooth functionality and happy customers. However, data management can become quite complex and acts as a double-edged sword, thus it is extremely crucial for organizations to have the right tools and services to manage their data.

Integration, a subject not widely understood, has become the present and the future of digital transformation. Here’s how Salesforce® and MuleSoft® are transforming data and delivering a seamless customer experience.

Thousands of Salesforce® customers utilize MuleSoft® to create a 360-degree view of their customer data, or to boost productivity with automation, or for other purposes related to enhancing their CRM. You may be wondering why?

In a recent AdVic “Salesforce Simplified” podcast about such a CRM enhancement, our MuleSoft Practice Director, Tom Minton, explained the many benefits of MuleSoft Composer™.

“The main advantage to MuleSoft Composer for Salesforce, Minton says, “is that it allows Salesforce admins the ability to create inner integrations with external systems using no code.”

He added, “Without having to concern IT departments, Salesforce admins can connect an assortment of connectors with just clicks. Even without having a vast knowledge of MuleSoft coding ability, they can achieve the results they need and  the information they need in a much more efficient way.”

Finding the Right Salesforce Implementation Partner can be daunting. When Klaussner Furniture Industries began their Salesforce implementation process with another partner, they were unhappy with their progress.

Klaussner, one of the nation’s largest makers of home furniture, then turned to Ad Victoriam Solutions. Our proven industry knowledge and project experience provided them with a long-term scalable solution for their specific business needs.

Klaussner’s Business Challenge

Since Klaussner has nationally-based representatives, their processes were disjointed and difficult for them to manage. Their representatives were tracking their opportunity pipeline using an Excel spreadsheet fed into their IBM AS/400 legacy system.

The solution Klaussner desired was one central system to manage their teams with consistency in reporting to gain insight into sales performance.
