Please contact your superuser lead if you have questions, concerns, or issues. They are responsible for managing department-specific questions and for troubleshooting.
For your reference, the FAQ document is attached to help answer questions you may receive from customers or suppliers. This is an internal resource—do not share it externally. Instead, refer to it during your customer interactions. You’ll also find the Key Reference Guide attached, which highlights essential information.
We recognize it may take time to get used to new processes, and we may encounter a few challenges during the initial rollout. Thank you for your patience and Grit during this change.
I can assure you the transition is on track, and our teams are ready.
