ForeFront ☁

#TeamForeFront is fresh out of Connections, and there’s one theme we all saw come up again and again: Salesforce is helping sellers in complex industries, like manufacturing, move faster by drastically reducing busy work. #Agentforce templates are already starting to automate the manual steps that eat up sales time: ✅ Logging follow-up tasks ✅ Drafting next-action emails ✅ Generating quotes based on product availability or asset status This is a big deal for sellers in manufacturing orgs, where deals often involve highly configured products, channel partners, and long sales cycles. But here’s the catch: Out-of-the-box templates handle standard next actions. In manufacturing sales, “standard” rarely applies. That’s where ForeFront comes in. We help manufacturers extend Agentforce to fit their real-world sales motions: 💰 Configure-to-order 💰 Multi-tier channel models 💰 Integrated service and parts quoting 💰 Generating service orders based on asset status and maintenance schedules The next wave of Salesforce innovation is about driving adoption by making sellers’ lives easier. Manufacturers who tailor Agentforce to their processes will speed up selling and get more value from their Salesforce investment. If you want to explore what’s possible, let’s connect!

We recently had the opportunity to join our friends at Salesforce for a volunteer day with Junior Achievement of Southeastern Pennsylvania. It was an action-packed day where students explored the vast range of career options available in tech. Christelle Aponte, Lindsey Uhrich, and Shawn Monaghan represented #TeamForeFront and showed students that there are so many different ways to pursue a STEM career. Visitors to our booth were especially interested in learning how to crack passwords... so consider this your reminder to always follow password security best practices!

#TeamForeFront is building the agentic enterprise, one workflow at a time.   Many of our clients in the manufacturing industry struggle with the same pain point: Real-time commodity pricing requires pulling data from multiple sources + lots of manual input from employees. These inefficiencies slow down workflows and increase the risk of errors in the quoting lifecycle.   For the Salesforce Agentforce Hackathon Sang Nguyen and Thomas Dennis asked themselves, “What if AI could eliminate this manual burden?”   That's how our Real-Time Dynamic Quoting agent was born. The agent: • Pulls live commodity prices from multiple systems • Creates the full Salesforce opportunity, quote, quote line items, and quote documents • Hands reps a ready‑to‑send quote in seconds See it in action here: https://lnkd.in/guY_yRyJ   If you like what you see, please vote for our demo by May 15! And if you're interested in implementing a real-time quoting agent in your own organization, let's talk.   #Agentforce #Salesforce #BetterTogether #AI #Manufacturing

We're proud to have partnered with Luminator Technology Group to guide their implementation of Salesforce's Agentforce!   With Agentforce, Luminator will transform repair workflows, improve technician responsiveness across global operations, and keep mass transit riders safe and informed.   From transit systems in Berlin to Kansas City, they can now triage service requests in real time and assign requests directly to the appropriate technician. Techs arrive equipped with all of the information they need to complete repairs, which has reduced delays and improved service efficiency. With 24/7 agent-powered support, mass transit riders get fast responses, reduced wait times, and fewer transfers to other service representatives.   … and this is just the beginning of Luminator’s agentic journey.   Get the full story on how Luminator is revolutionizing service in this excellent writeup from Salesforce: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gRh64ZhE Shoutout to Naomi Fliflet, Dave Walden, and Kay B. for their support on this exciting project!   #Agentforce #FieldService #SalesforcePartner

Every year, our team comes together for NYKO — ForeFront’s annual new year kickoff. It’s part strategy session, part reunion, and part celebration. We look back at what we’ve accomplished, share where we’re headed, and reconnect in person. This year, AI was front and center. From Agentforce to broader industry shifts, #TeamForeFront cemented our commitment to helping clients move from experimentation to meaningful adoption. But NYKO isn’t just about what’s next in tech. It’s also about having fun! There’s always great food and plenty of laughs, and 2025 was no different: ✔ An interactive hibachi performance, complete with super soakers full of sake ✔ Casino night at ForeFront HQ  ✔ Fun team building activities, including an "Escape HQ” game that had everyone guessing until the end NYKO is an essential part of ForeFront’s culture, because when we take time to connect, we collaborate better, communicate more clearly, and show up stronger for our clients. Check out the highlights from this year’s NYKO in our latest video! https://lnkd.in/g-5ZKFVa #Agentfore #AI #SalesforcePartner #BetterTogether
