Since introducing its Strategy 2025, GF Piping Systems has increased customer proximity in key global industries and strengthened its global footprint with more sales offices, customer experience centers, and offsite manufacturing hubs. The sales excellence program has supported this with all sales colleagues globally onboarded within its GForce sales enablement program, and the call center teams are now being upskilled and supported by AI in key territories to ensure they can serve as engineering advisers to GF’s customers. During the same period, the division of GF rolled out customer service and marketing automation applications within the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Copilot environment, and the Showpad all-in-one sales enablement platform, AI capabilities are now fully embedded within the CRM environment.

Additionally, commercial teams can automatically leverage the technology to generate insights and recommendations for the customers’ needs, enabling them to deliver proactive, customized buyer experiences.
