Winning the Salesforce Conversation: Why Clients Say Yes to ketteQ

When we founded ketteQ, we didn’t start with legacy code or outdated architecture.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

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

One of the earliest and most impactful decisions we made was to build ketteQ natively on Salesforce.

The Salesforce Advantage Was Obvious

Why Salesforce? Because we saw what many others hadn’t yet realized: the enterprise operating 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 saw an opportunity to extend the power of Salesforce into a space where it hadn’tyet delivered: advanced, adaptive supply chain planning.

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

It’s also become a massive opportunity for our consulting partners.

By building on Salesforce, we’ve created a solution that consulting partners can stand behind confidently, because it fits cleanly into their existing Salesforce practices. Whether it’s a Salesforce implementation partner, a digital transformation consultant, or a supply chain advisory firm, ketteQ gives them something truly differentiated to offer their clients: cutting-edge planning functionality that enhances the value of Salesforce and opens the door to new revenue streams.

In fact, many of our most successful deployments today are happening in close collaboration with our partner ecosystem. This proves that the results speak for themselves when you combine deep supply chain expertise with Salesforce-native innovation.

A Conversation That Starts with “Yes”

When I meet with CIOs, COOs, and supply chain executives, the conversation usually starts 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 existing investment rather than replacing it.

It’s not a hard sell. It’s an easy “yes.”

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

Designed for Speed, Built for Today

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

That’s why 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.

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

This enables us to deploy in a fraction of the time legacy vendors require. Most ketteQ implementations take 3 to 6 months rather than years.

Familiarity Breeds Adoption

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

There’s no learning curve. No resistance. No retraining. Just powerful new planning capabilities that feel like a natural extension of the system they already rely on.

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

Better Decisions, Faster Results

When you combine a modern planning engine, native Salesforce integration, and an intuitive user experience, something powerful happens: organizations get real, meaningful value fast.

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

Looking Ahead

We started ketteQ to build what legacy vendors couldn’t and wouldn’t: a system that’s agile, adaptive, intelligent, connected, and ready for the realities of modern supply chains.

Building on Salesforce was never just a feature; this strategic design decision continues to pay dividends for us, our customers, and our partners.

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