Business-to-business firms sell direct to consumers. Some companies have even adopted asset-light strategies, positioning themselves as brands. With change as the only constant, every company needs to increase its agility, flexibility and automation. With Cavallo’s marketleading order management solutions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, companies can quickly transform into omnichannel leaders by adopting robust workflow tools that automate the flow of orders from any source while applying tailored business rules to supercharge competitiveness and profitability.” Matt Abbott Chief Strategy Officer, Cavallo “As manufacturers look to respond to market disruptions, digital manufacturing systems are closing the business-to-plant collaboration gap and improving value chain efficiency.
