## Descrizione

Counter Culture needed better visibility across customers, distributors, suppliers, and internal processes.

## Framework di pilot

### Framework di pilot #1 — Anonimo · Counter Culture Coffee (0 voti)

- **Ambito:** Pilot the unified workflow across customer records, distributor and supplier visibility, support workflows, and core reporting for one operating segment.
- **Durata:** A 6- to 8-week pilot is appropriate for one business segment covering shared records and reporting workflows.
- **KPI suggeriti:** Track time spent on manual coordination, completeness of shared customer and partner records, reporting latency, and employee time freed for higher-value work.
- **Criteri di successo:** The pilot succeeds if staff can work from shared records instead of disconnected tools, visibility improves across commercial relationships, and routine coordination effort declines.
- **Errori comuni:** Common pitfalls include partial data migration, leaving supplier or distributor processes outside the workflow, and failing to standardize cross-functional data ownership.
- **Impegno di risorse:** Requires an operations or commercial lead, a small cross-functional user group, and admin support for migration, reporting, and workflow standardization.
