Explanation
Manufacturing Cloud is a Salesforce solution that helps manufacturers to improve their sales forecasting and planning processes, and to collaborate more effectively with their customers and channel partners.
Manufacturing Cloud tackles the specific business challenge of gaining visibility in businesses to improve forecast accuracy and collaborate with stakeholders. By using Manufacturing Cloud, manufacturers can:
Create and manage sales agreements that reflect the negotiated terms and conditions with their customers, such as products, prices, quantities, and delivery schedules.
Track the actual sales performance and compliance metrics of each sales agreement, and compare them with the forecasted values and targets.
Use account-based forecasting to generate accurate and realistic sales forecasts based on the input from account managers, customers, and channel partners.
Use Tableau CRM for Manufacturing to analyze and visualize the sales data and trends, and to identify risks and opportunities for improvement.
Use MuleSoft to integrate Manufacturing Cloud with other systems, such as ERP, CRM, or PLM, and to ensure data consistency and quality across the enterprise.
