Shifting to Demand-Driven Models and Empowering a Customer-Centric Culture with Omnichannel Engagement
In manufacturing today, it’s critical for enterprises to meet the trends that lay the foundation for accelerated product development as well as powerful logistics and distribution that puts the right products, in the right place, at the right time. From the ground up, manufacturing enterprises must take a unique approach to unified communications, collaboration and omnichannel engagement that allows for complete synergy of operational processes, devices, employees and their customers.
To support the increasingly real-time digital processing on multiple media channels for customer requests, factories are now forced to accelerate business without compromising on customer satisfaction, operating expenses and quality management. From a sales and marketing perspective, it’s imperative for manufacturing enterprises to equip their people, places and devices with the right tool set that manages customer interactions and promotes acquisition and retention on every level, and across every media channel.
