We helped Zone Enterprises, a leading manufacturer of automotive parts, optimize their product development and manufacturing workflows across three factory locations using Asana. Our implementation focused on supporting their Sales, Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to bridge the gaps between business development and product delivery. This allowed for increased transparency, better task management, and accurate project tracking across all teams.
