My Journey in the Metal Industry
Working at one of the largest metal distribution and manufacturing companies in North America has been incredibly rewarding. Our vast reach and impact necessitated efficient operations and seamless integration of new acquisitions. During this process, we encountered a mix of companies: some were already using Salesforce, while others relied on different systems or manual methods. This diversity posed significant challenges in consolidating data, standardizing processes, and ensuring a smooth transition for all stakeholders. We had to navigate these complexities with our internal resources and expertise.
