SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 13, 2014) - Dreamforce 2014 -- Kenandy, Inc., the leader in cloud ERP for the global enterprise, today announced it has joined the Salesforce Analytics Cloud ecosystem to give their users real-time insights into their key channel, supply chain and financial metrics.

Wave, the Salesforce Analytics Cloud, is the first cloud analytics platform designed for every business user, making it easier than ever for anyone to explore data, uncover new insights and take action instantly from any device.

The Salesforce Analytics Cloud allows Kenandy users to combine their cloud ERP information with multiple sources of data, such as shipments at distribution points, cash register scans, and external data, such as the weather, to get a complete view of all the factors that impact their business. For example, they can identify where they have distribution issues and lagging sales, and where and why product volume is not meeting expectations. Armed with these real-time insights, their sales teams can make quick decisions on the ground, and share them instantly with their company and partners using social collaboration.

"Customers are connected as they have never been before," said Sandra Kurtzig, Chairman and CEO of Kenandy, Inc. "By 2020, there will be 75 billion connected products in the world. With the Salesforce Analytics Cloud, our customers can harness the increasing amount of data that's available to them in Kenandy, from their partners, and through their devices so they can act on it quickly and decisively."

"The convergence of mobile, social and cloud computing has sparked a data revolution, and companies today must leverage data-driven insights to connect with their customers in a whole new way," said Keith Bigelow, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Salesforce Analytics Cloud, salesforce.com. "Salesforce Analytics Cloud is the first cloud analytics platform designed for every business user. With partners such as Kenandy, customers can benefit from a wealth of additional analytic applications to extend analytics for every business need, making it easier than ever for anyone to explore and share data instantly, uncover new insights and take action from anywhere."
