    We use Salesforce (and other technologies) to power digital transformation in discrete manufacturing.

    With Salesforce’s multi-cloud solutions and ForeFront’s industry expertise, you can improve forecasting, streamline sales, and improve the customer experience.

    There’s no linear path when it comes to transforming operations using Salesforce. Start with a single implementation and build from there, or kick things off with a comprehensive multi-cloud integration that touches multiple departments and business units.

    There are nearly endless potential entry points into the ecosystem.

    and what would happen if you addressed them.

    Why choose ForeFront as a technology partner?

    For more than 25 years, ForeFront has provided systems integration and enterprise digital transformation services to market-leading organizations, with manufacturing being one of our strongest practice areas.

    Salesforce is our specialty, but our skills don’t stop there – we have a broad range of platform and integration expertise. As a NEORIS company, we also have access to an impressive roster of technical experts from around the world.

    We help manufacturers improve business processes and streamline operations.

    A few examples of our wins in discrete manufacturing:

    A faster, more accurate quoting process. Made possible with CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) solutions. CPQ implementations often take many months to complete, but not with ForeFront. Clients appreciate our speed, agility, and industry expertise.

    ERP integrations for a vast range of platforms. Our ERP integration expertise includes SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, and more.

    Implementing an automated PO processing system. ForeFront built a system that reads email purchase orders and creates a new order directly in Salesforce, all automatically. Previously, this manufacturer processed 10,000+ orders per year… manually!

    “ForeFront helped us get Service Cloud set up from ground zero. They have been a highly invested partner who learned our business, processes, and future needs to develop a solution that will scale.”
