The route to digital transformation is long, but it’s lucky. And luck is always created, never given.
So to create luck for a lifetime, it takes continuous work and the ability to anticipate the next. This can only be possible when we are future-ready. Which is why having a digital transformation framework while undertaking an organization-level transformation to ensure one can see the larger picture and possibilities.
As a seasoned sales leader, the transformative power of adopting a well-defined digital transformation framework that can evolve according to the market requirements, can bring a domino effect to organizational efficiency and proactive decision making. As we explore the ins and outs of the digital transformation journey, let’s keep in mind the most important factor in the success of digital transformation.

“Digital transformation will only act as a catalyst for growth. We are the real ingredients, the real heroes.”
– Diogo Victoria
THE JOURNEY…
At SADAFCO, we’re excited to introduce Game Changers, a clear digital transformation initiative that will use technology, systems, and processes as levers to drive behavior & management change and transform the current operational landscape of SADAFCO
In partnership with Bizom, we will introduce innovative digital transformation and retail intelligence capabilities in our sales and distribution, which will empower each one of us at SADAFCO to always take every next step more stronger, and smoother.
Like myself, a well-defined digital transformation framework provides every sales leader with a structured approach to seize market opportunities, mitigate risks, while driving sustainable growth. So, being at the forefront of the organization’s digital transformation efforts, a leader must do the following vital pre-work.
Once we concluded the groundwork at SADAFCO, it was time to find the right solution partner who had the capabilities to match our growth plans. That’s when I met Andre Kudin, who quickly made me realize how embracing Bizom is not just a choice; it is a strategic imperative for SADAFCO.
With its potent blend of sales automation and retail intelligence, Bizom gives the unique opportunity to catapult business to new heights, redefining how we engage with customers, outpace competitors, and fuel growth. I’m confident that Bizom’s potential to drive results, increase productivity, and bolster our market standing, will be unparalleled.
Let’s take the example of the biggest digital transformation initiative of mankind – the mobile phone.
The mobile phone of today and the mobile phone of 1993 are world’s apart.
But in 1993 if someone gave us the mobile phone we are using today, we wouldn’t have felt comfortable using it. It only became possible through small & big technological advancements and new habits.
Digital Transformation happens the same way!
When you embark on the digital transformation journey to make distribution more future-ready, there are three mandatory transformative steps you must take to achieve this.
Digitisation builds the base for intelligent retail, by inculcating an automated route-to-market process for the company, the distributors and retailers. Digitisation tools such as Sales Force Automation app (SFA), Distributor Management System (DMS) and Retailer app will make downstream distribution more efficient and 100% error-free.
Optimisation involves building more capabilities in the market to achieve excellence in retail execution. Intelligent technologies such as Beat Optimization, Sales Gamification, Smart Merchandising & Business Intelligence dashboards, bring in higher process efficiency and increase productivity.
Expansion in digital transformation refers to using the right tools and technologies that can help us see the future opportunities that are not easily visible. Tools like Suggested Orders and Sales & Operational Planner, create these abilities for sales teams, helping them tap into new ways to drive growth.
With a comprehensive framework in place, organizations can embark on a transformative journey that is guided by clarity, efficiency, and a customer-centric outlook, paving the way for sustained growth and success in the digital era. But to successfully complete the above digital transformation framework, it can take months for some companies while many years for many. So to ensure the timely success of digital transformation, post-transformation practices must be a mandate.
Mixing these with the right technology in place can unlock assured and sustained growth.
With Bizom’s powerful automation capabilities, SADAFCO can revolutionize the way we conduct business, and our sales team can experience heightened efficiency, saving us precious time and resources.
While on the other hand, leveraging its outcome-driven advanced analytics will provide us with invaluable insights into customer behavior, market trends, and competitor strategies, empowering us to make data-driven decisions that are aligned with the ever-evolving market demands.Moreover, the platform’s seamless integration with our existing systems will create a unified platform, ensuring streamlined processes and fostering collaboration among different departments at SADAFCO.
Bottomline, if you find the right partner and follow the digital transformation framework and practices correctly, it’s not impossible to build a structured approach to navigate the complexities of digital transformation, while ensuring that technology adoption is not haphazard but aligned with strategic goals.
But be aware, that while undoubtedly the manufacturing sector stands to benefit immensely from digital transformation, one definitely needs to put in place the effort at an organizational level, to achieve the best output.
As a sales leader, I encourage fellow business leaders to embrace this paradigm shift and lead their organizations towards a future of endless possibilities and growth.
By having a solid digital transformation framework, and leveraging automation, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics, manufacturers will optimize production processes, reduce downtime, and enhance supply chain efficiency. Embrace this transformative journey with a clear vision, data-driven insights, and an agile approach to drive sales excellence, enhance customer experiences, and secure a competitive advantage in an increasingly digitized world.
For SADAFCO, I firmly believe that Bizom will be a game-changer, propelling our business to new heights and strengthening our position as a market leader in no time. As a team, together we are embracing this innovative solution and embarking on a journey towards greater success and profitability.
But remember it’s all about people and having the best capabilities to use technology to leverage the company competitiveness – Diogo Victoria, Sales Director (SADAFCO GROUP).
