  • Manufacturing respondents optimizing quality control and assurance workflows had cited revenue growth uplifts by 2.4% and profitability improvements of 1.4%.
  • Transportation and logistics respondents who reported workflow improvements in delivery and inventory had cited a revenue growth increase of up to 3.4% with a similar gain in profitability.
