Example Scenario: From Quote to Fulfillment

A client submits a new job request. Sales quickly configures and sends a quote using pre-set rules and client history. Once approved, the order is created in MES instantly, where production managers track progress. Updates are shared back to the CRM so the sales team can proactively communicate. Everything is smooth, timely, and traceable.
