Winning the Salesforce Conversation: Why Clients Say Yes to ketteQ

Whenwe founded ketteQ, we didn’t start with legacy code or outdated architecture.We started with a blank slate, and that changed everything.

Weweren’t burdened by the deep technical debt of decade-old system architectures orbeholden to proprietary systems and legacy assumptions. Instead, we were ableto design a fundamentally different planning solution from the ground up, onethat was purpose-built to meet the challenges supply chain leaders face today,not the ones they faced 20 or 30 years ago.

Oneof the earliest and most impactful decisions we made was to build ketteQnatively on Salesforce.

The Salesforce Advantage Was Obvious

WhySalesforce? Because we saw what many others hadn’t yet realized: the enterpriseoperating system of the future was already in place. Millions of users. Arobust, secure, scalable platform. A unified data model. Seamless workflows.And best of all, most of our future customers were already using it.

Wedidn’t see a need to reinvent the wheel or bolt-on disconnected modules. We sawan opportunity to extend the power of Salesforce into a space where it hadn’tyet delivered: advanced, adaptive supply chain planning.

Thatdecision has become one of the biggest reasons clients say yes to ketteQ.

It’salso become a massive opportunity for our consulting partners.

Bybuilding on Salesforce, we’ve created a solution that consulting partners canstand behind confidently, because it fits cleanly into their existingSalesforce practices. Whether it’s a Salesforce implementation partner, adigital transformation consultant, or a supply chain advisory firm, ketteQgives them something truly differentiated to offer their clients: cutting-edgeplanning functionality that enhances the value of Salesforce and opens the doorto new revenue streams.

Infact, many of our most successful deployments today are happening in closecollaboration with our partner ecosystem. This proves that the results speakfor themselves when you combine deep supply chain expertise withSalesforce-native innovation.

A Conversation That Starts with “Yes”

WhenI meet with CIOs, COOs, and supply chain executives, the conversation usuallystarts with a shared understanding: they’re already invested in Salesforce.Their teams use it. Their data flows through it. Their IT departments trust it.

So,we already speak their language when we show how ketteQ builds on that existinginvestment rather than replacing it.

It’snot a hard sell. It’s an easy “yes.”

Becauseit’s not just about having a great planning solution; it’s about having asolution that fits cleanly into the world in which they already operate. Onethat reduces complexity, accelerates implementation, and maximizes return.

Designed for Speed, Built for Today

Mostsupply chain systems were designed in a different era: one when change movedslower, global disruptions were rare, and optimization and resilience werenice-to-haves, not a survival strategy. Those systems can’t keep up withtoday’s volatility, uncertainty, and customer expectations.

That’swhy we didn’t just modernize legacy architecture. We designed a new one. Wemade bold decisions like embedding our agentic AI solver engine, PolymatiQ™,into the heart of the platform. And we built everything to be adaptive,multi-pass, and scenario-driven from day one.

Buildingon Salesforce allowed us to move even faster. Clients don’t have to stand up anew system or rewire their enterprise architecture. If they already useSalesforce, they already have the infrastructure they need to run ketteQ.

Thisenables us to deploy in a fraction of the time legacy vendors require. Most ketteQimplementations take 3 to 6 months rather than years.

Familiarity Breeds Adoption

Anotherreason clients say “yes” is that their users already know Salesforce.

There’sno learning curve. No resistance. No retraining. Just powerful new planningcapabilities that feel like a natural extension of the system they already relyon.

Thismatters more than most people realize. In large organizations, user adoption isoften the most significant barrier to realizing value from new tools. We removethat barrier by staying inside the ecosystem people trust and use daily.

Better Decisions, Faster Results

Whenyou combine a modern planning engine, native Salesforce integration, and anintuitive user experience, something powerful happens: organizations get real,meaningful value fast.

We’veseen customers improve forecast accuracy, reduce inventory, increase servicelevels, and boost on-time delivery, often within weeks of going live. Andbecause we’re aligned with Salesforce’s data and workflows, the insights wedeliver don’t sit in a silo; they drive action across the business.

Looking Ahead

Westarted ketteQ to build what legacy vendors couldn’t and wouldn’t: a systemthat’s agile, adaptive, intelligent, connected, and ready for the realities ofmodern supply chains.

Buildingon Salesforce was never just a feature; this strategic design decisioncontinues to pay dividends for us, our customers, and our partners.

So,when the Salesforce conversation comes up, it’s not a debate. It’s adifferentiator. It’s why our clients say yes and why they continue to succeedwith ketteQ.
