Extend Duet360 to connect more of the decisions and processes that depend on Salesforce and ERP data. Choose add-ons for inventory management, supply and demand planning, quoting, field service, and digital commerce.
Connect Sales forecasts with inventory decisions
Manufacturers need to order materials and parts early enough to meet demand, without tying up too much cash in stock that may not sell. That balance is difficult when sales forecasts, customer history, and ERP inventory data are reviewed by separate teams.
Duet360 brings those signals together so sales and operations can identify potential shortages, act on slow-moving inventory, and make better-informed plans.
The cost of disconnected planning
An overstated sales forecast can lead to excess purchasing, storage costs, and capital tied up in inventory. Ordering too late can delay fulfillment and put expected revenue at risk. When stock remains unsold, it may eventually need to be written down.
Operations teams often manage these issues after inventory has accumulated. Customer-facing teams may have useful information about upcoming demand or potential buyers, but no structured way to act on it together.
Turn inventory insight into a sales opportunity
The Duet360 Supply and Demand Forecasting add-on combines Salesforce forecast and customer information with ERP data about assets, past orders, parts, and available inventory.
By connecting what a customer owns and has purchased with what is currently in stock, Duet360 can identify a relevant sales opportunity. For example, when purchase history suggests that a customer may need a replacement part, Duet360 can create an opportunity for a sales representative to review and follow up.
This gives the sales team a timely, customer-specific reason to make contact while helping operations address inventory that is moving slowly.
Plan and act across teams
With a shared view of demand and inventory, teams can:
-
Compare sales expectations with available stock.
-
Identify slow-moving products that may match customer needs.
-
Give sales representatives specific opportunities to review.
-
Coordinate purchasing and inventory decisions with customer-facing activity.
The goal is to improve supply and demand decisions, generate relevant sales opportunities, and reduce the risk of excess inventory and write-offs.
