The Challenge: Hidden Inefficiencies Draining Selling Time
The Root Cause: Fragmented Digital Workflows
Scout’s diagnostic revealed a striking pattern:
60%
of ASM time lost to non-core digital tasks
126%
higher effort variance across regions
2%
of customers driving 30% of total email volume
These inefficiencies weren’t visible in any existing system. The company needed a way to see how work actually happened — across tools, apps, and regions — to reclaim lost selling capacity.
