Manufacturers have faced demand forecasting challenges for years. In the past,  manufacturers relied on experienced employees to drive business decisions. With the rapid advancements in technology, forecasting methodology is also evolving. Introducing predictive analytics has been a game changer for manufacturers, taking the guessing game out of the forecasting process.

The transportation and logistics industry has experienced more change in the last few years than in the previous ten years combined. Since the pandemic started, supply chains have been stressed. There are new hiccups making headlines every day, and whether it's trucking, rail, ocean, or third-party logistics -- providers are scrambling to keep up. This disruption requires companies to adjust quickly and ensure their processes can keep up with these sudden changes.

On February 1, 2022, Salesforce will require customers to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in order to access Salesforce products. All internal users who log in to Salesforce products (including partner solutions) through the user interface must use MFA for every login. We encourage clients who haven't started planning for this change start now, and where possible, begin implementing MFA.

Ensuring your business processes are efficient and accurate is vital to keeping the lights on. Often, organizations prioritize process management and improvement at the bottom of their list, focusing instead on reacting to situations, creating work arounds which result in inefficiencies and a disconnect throughout the organization. While this may allow organizations to pay the bills, business processes need to be monitored and enhanced regularly to ensure business success and increased revenue.
