This year is THE year. At least, that’s what manufacturing seems to be saying. 

The long-awaited resurgence of manufacturing is taking shape, and business leaders throughout the industry are eagerly making plans to prepare their organizations for the boom in business. The Mountain West region, in particular Las Vegas, is leading the charge to bring industrial profitability back up top. But supercharging innovation can be pricy, especially as the in-house Salesforce admin and development team grows larger and your business priorities grow, too.

Manufacturing leaders keen on cost-effective consulting services ought to consider Strategic Managed Services to offset the price tag of in-house technical expertise while still coupling organizational digitization initiatives with top-tier consultants. Here are three ways Simplus Strategic Managed Services, in particular, can be a manufacturer’s best friend.

Provide flexible support for any season of development

Managed services is often viewed as the consultant team exclusively for after go-live. While we are more than equipped to address post-go-live maintenance concerns, Simplus Strategic Managed Services can do even more for past, present, and future needs surrounding go-lives. If you have a backlog of work to resolve and identify, Simplus Strategic Managed Services can help. If you need help migrating and cleaning up data to prepare for a larger transformation go-live, we can help. If you’re looking for gradual, ongoing enhancements to keep your recent go-live prime for the ever-changing demands of the future… yeah, we can help. 

Past, present, and future needs surrounding your technical landscape are all eligible for some TLC from our Strategic Managed Services team. We offer top-tier, certified consultants on a variety of flexible rates and plans to fit your projected workload and priorities. No two plans are the same—we work together to create a plan best fit for your business. 

Oversee Salesforce maintenance with industry-specific expertise

Simplus has long been the leader in professional-grade quote-to-cash technology consulting. We have navigated complex revenue models and helped a variety of organizations across industries introduce new product lines, clean up catalogs, and optimize revenue visibility. 

For manufacturing in particular, we even developed the first Manufacturing CPQ Bolt to supercharge manufacturers leveraging Salesforce CPQ with an accelerated roadmap to better partner sales within their Salesforce instances. This included custom Lightning components and simplified quote processes to improve forecasting and empower manufacturing partners from quote to order seamlessly. Our Strategic Managed Services team is adept at supporting these types of industry-specific sales needs through the Salesforce platform. 

“One of the key things that we identified in our relationship and partnership with Simplus as it grew over the course of time is that they have a very deep understanding of the complex manufacturing practice,” said Anubhaw Bhushan, Director of CRM at Komatsu, a Simplus Strategic Managed Services client. “Simplus was able to leverage what the best practices look like in the industry…so being the beneficiary or the recipient of that knowledge was pretty evident as we rolled out our applications in the CPQ space.”

Jumpstart innovation immediately with micro-project work 

Finally, Simplus Strategic Managed Services is a great partner for accelerating innovative initiatives with a little extra support on hand. That list of would-be-nice technical projects your team hardly has time to look at on a regular basis? Simplus Strategic Managed Services leverages Micro-Projects meant just for that. Some of our past micro-project work has included migrating data from legacy platforms to new ones, revamping processes for Salesforce integration, conversion of rules for Lightning Flows, standing up mobile applications, and more. 

Whether it’s to revive that old wishlist of innovation initiatives in your tech stack or to address years of backlogged work and technical debt, Simplus Strategic Managed Services is the premier partner for dusting off, maintaining, and supercharging your org for the future. Let’s talk today.
