Solution Use Case
Real Customer Use-case:
In the video above, we just demonstrate how a manufacturer quickly react to the underperformance before Christmas eve, boom its sales by creating a sales promotion with a cash rebate incentive, and invite the retailers to a virtual workspace to work, share, collaborate on this promotion. Eventually, result with a successful Christmas as expected …
However, it is much more than a promotion sales with cash rebate scenario. You can easily adapt the individual business process based on standard SAP Business One process (Sales, Purchase, Production etc) as a workspace. And invite the members via email to work, share and collaborate on this taskforce for this specific process.
