“We have become a white-collar workforce, and automation has become a necessity.”Quote by Randy Breaux, President, Motion Industries, from the foreword of Modern Manufacturing (Volume 3)—An Inside Look Into Game-Changing Processes
A large swath of manufacturers, especially those that are small or medium-sized and primarily family-owned, have been complacent with the way things have been run, they are not willing for different reasons, to go for digital disruption. The traditional way of doing things with minor tweaks and additions has been the norm with manufacturers in India and other developing nations. It is, however, imperative in the 21st century for the manufacturing industry to onboard various tech tools & solutions such as CRM and cloud offerings. These tools, once learned properly by the users, act as boosters for the business and the management.
Salesforce, the premier Customer Relationship Management tool, has Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud in its kitty that pumps the manufacturing industry with forecast accuracy and visibility, improves team collaboration, and regularises all processes.
