What The Experts Say:

LOU SIMON: 

“When you think of the digital twin and the IOT data that comes from connected assets or smart assets in the field, it used to be mainly just for engineering purposes. When we're getting it at this scale, we can start using it from a sales and serviceability perspective, which really starts to drive up revenue.”

“Being able to respond to macroeconomic conditions has been top of mind to our customers. This includes getting correct data in the supply chain, correct data from customers in the field, support teams, understanding if there are interesting inflationary situations that you have to be mindful of whenever you're producing or selling a product and responding to that. You can't have these conversations with your data without having a platform that manages it so that you're able to trust it. 

MONICA KOTZ:

“All your threads should be connected. Whoever is initiating the process from quote, all the way to somebody in the field who’s servicing something as built as engineered. Giving them that level of granularity should pull all of those threads forward. The most critical phase of anything to me is making sure your data model has the right associations attached to it. And it's pulling all of that relevant information, no matter what business process is being laid on top of it.” 

“If your data exists in a system, it should work for you. It should tell you something. If you're taking time to enter it in, it better inform something for you. That's the purpose of making sure that it’s all is in one system, so you can glean these kinds of insights.”

STEVEN HUMPHREY:

“What we're showing here is a unified view inside of Propel enabled through Salesforce and with help from our partner Uptima, where you're actually bringing these disparate systems and different streams of data into a single pane of glass along one platform.”

“In Propel, we put everybody into the same unified data model, working with the same data sets. Maybe you have other business systems that aren't connected to the solution or they are connected, but that data is integrated. Now, you can leverage that data to remove some of that friction and have better collaboration and be more proactive and less reactive when it comes to enabling your supply chain processes.”
