In the pursuit of sustainability, efficiency matters as much as innovation. Our client, a leader in the renewable fuels industry, is committed to creating solutions that reduce carbon intensity in transportation and beyond. However, their growth ambitions were being hindered by disconnected systems, manual processes, and limited data visibility. With Ascend's expertise, they found a way to streamline operations, improve forecasting, and unlock new levels of efficiency.
Challenges
Operating in a dynamic market requires accurate forecasting and seamless data management. The client faced an inability to forecast product quantities by account and production facility efficiently. Visibility into actual quantities delivered required accessing their ERP, JD Edwards, slowing productivity. Manual order tracking processes further complicated operations, while limited remote access and inadequate system configurations stifled growth opportunities.
Solution
Ascend introduced Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud with Account-Based Forecasting to centralize data and improve forecasting accuracy. By integrating Salesforce with JD Edwards for bidirectional synchronization, teams gained real-time visibility without system switching. Mobile functionality allowed for on-the-go data access, while process automation ensured cleaner data and more accurate order tracking. These innovations laid the groundwork for future scalability and efficiency.
Outcome
The sales team gained a single source of truth, enabling them to manage customer relationships more effectively. Real-time visibility into historical and forecasted data improved decision-making and revenue forecasting. Custom reports and dashboards empowered leadership with actionable insights, and process automation enhanced operational efficiency.
