Manufacturing Industry
Digitization to become a smart manufacturing company.
We support you in this.
Challenge for the manufacturing industry
How manufacturing companies can master the challenge of digital transformation
The networking of sales, service and production must be realized digitally. With the help of a cloud-based CRM system, this can be done smartly and across departments. The trend in the manufacturing industry is toward individualized products. The standard offer is a discontinued model in certain areas. Customers are involved – whether in function, form, material or color. However, more complex specifications often need to be coordinated.
The solution: digitization by means of a CRM system, smart and cross-departmental.
This means that sales, production and service must be networked and digitized.
The transmission of real-time data and information to your employees offers the possibility to respond to customer requests at any time – on demand. Efficient collaboration between all departments is easy to implement with digital strategies: from initial contact to order delivery. Even the click behavior in the marketing newsletter becomes visible. All in one web-based system.
Let's take your business to the next level together!

Salesforce also avoids a lot of tedious work that can distract from the task at hand and negatively impact employee motivation.

Erfolgsgeschichte mit Adva
Innovative Technologie
We’ve hired Artemis Innovations GmbH to develop a logic for analyzing & segmenting opportunity products based on certain criteria in an environment that is already highly busy with other processes, workflows & logics. Consequently, we were in need of a solution that would not only achieve the actual aim, but also fit into our existing circumstances without disrupting other processes of our Sales Cloud. Our partner did an excellent job of analyzing the existing structures & adding the new logic to them without impacting other automations. In addition they have shown us ideas for improvement of our application in terms of stability & future proof design which we highly appreciate. We would like to thank Artemis Innovations GmbH for providing results at an incredible pace, for looking at the “bigger picture” and for their outstanding commitment.“

Erfolgsgeschichte mit FireStart
In zwei Wochen zum
Single Point of Truth
Vor der Salesforce Implementierung hatte FireStart eine fragmentierte Softwarelandschaft, sodass Geschäftsprozesse nicht vollständig abgebildet wurden. Für den Versand der Newsletter wurde Mailchimp verwendet, eine andere Software verwaltete die Kundendaten, Sales Prozesse wurden in Trello getrackt und der Service Support wurde ebenfalls in einem separaten System durchgeführt. Dazu gab es keinen zentralen Ort zum Speichern relevanter Kundenaktivitäten.
Mit der Einführung der Sales Cloud und Pardot sollte eine zentrale Plattform geschaffen werden, die alle relevanten Aktivitäten entlang des Customer Journeys abbildet und ein ganzheitliches Kundenerlebnis ermöglicht.
Neukundenakquise, Kundenbindung und die Zusammenarbeit mit Partnern werden jetzt in einem einzigen System verwaltet. So kann FireStart erstmalig umfangreiche Datenanalysen durchführen und damit die individuelle Ansprache sowie Kundenbetreuung deutlich verbessern.
