Gorilla Glue moved 70% of reps off pen-and-paper fax orders, 20% off a clunky ERP-connected eCommerce portal, and 10% off separate Handshake accounts onto one centralized order management platform. The project delivered offline mobile order capture, ERP-synced complex pricing, centralized product catalog control, and consolidated sales reporting. The case study details the operational impact on order accuracy, submission speed, and customer service workload.
