Data Entry Errors
⚠️The Challenge

A global logistics company's sales team was spending 15+ hours per week on manual Salesforce data entry — updating shipment statuses, creating quotes, logging call notes. This left less than 30% of their time for actual selling.

🤖The Solution

We automated their full Salesforce workflow using n8n and the OpenAI API. Emails are auto-parsed and logged, quotes generate in one click, shipment statuses sync from their logistics platform in real time.
