Manufacturing operations face significant challenges in managing process changes, particularly when these changes involve multiple departments and stages. Without a clear and unified view of the processes involved, or a way to ensure that changes are compliant with established standards such as ISO 9001, manufacturing organizations can struggle to remain competitive.

The traditional customer onboarding process can be inefficient and inconsistent due to disparate data sources, long SLAs, and opaque or poorly documented processes. Knowledgeable business users have to dedicate their time to rework and data cleanup, rather than focusing on more important tasks.

Hear from a global manufacturer about how they unified their operations and standardized their quote and process management into one system for all of their global service centers. In this session, we share how we built an application and deployed it to dozens of centers worldwide with disparate processes, languages, time zones, and product lines.

During this webinar, Kyle Partlo from Gordon Food Service (GFS) talks about how they reduced customer onboarding time from 3 weeks to 8 hours. In this session, we share how they:

• Decreased the amount of time it took for a customer to be set up from initial contact to first order.
• Integrated the many standalone GFS systems
• Improved systems communication at every point in the process accelerating and enhancing error handling
