Client Overview
The client is a mid-sized manufacturer specializing in precision components for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery. The client is recognized for its commitment to quality and innovation. With growing demand and increasing operational complexity, the company sought a digital transformation to streamline both sales and production processes.
The Challenge
As the business expanded, the client faced several key challenges:
- Complex Quote Management: Sales teams struggled to generate accurate, timely quotes for highly customized components. The manual process, often managed with spreadsheets, was inefficient and prone to errors.
- Unplanned Equipment Downtime: The company’s reliance on reactive maintenance led to unexpected equipment failures, disrupting production schedules.
- Quality Control: Maintaining product quality at scale proved difficult, with defects sometimes going unnoticed until later stages in production, causing waste and rework.
- Siloed Data: Sales, production, and customer data were fragmented across different systems, leading to delays in decision-making and operational inefficiencies.
Mirketa Solution
Mirketa partnered with the client to implement Salesforce solutions, leveraging Salesforce Einstein AI. Key aspects of Mirketa’s solution included:
- Salesforce CPQ with Einstein Analytics: Mirketa implemented Salesforce CPQ, enhanced with Einstein Analytics, to streamline the quote generation process. Einstein AI analyzed historical sales data and customer preferences to provide intelligent recommendations, allowing sales teams to create accurate, optimized quotes faster.
- Predictive Maintenance with Einstein Analytics: Einstein AI’s predictive analytics monitored machinery and production equipment, analyzing data from sensors to predict when maintenance would be required. This significantly reduced unplanned downtime by allowing proactive scheduling of repairs.
- AI-Driven Quality Control: Using Einstein Vision, the client could perform real-time visual inspections on the production line, detecting defects early and reducing waste.
- Data Centralization and Automation: Salesforce unified data across sales, production, and customer service, providing a centralized platform for real-time insights and automated reporting, enhancing overall decision-making.
