Continental Battery Systems Deploys Emerix to Protect Revenue Across Its Sales Organization

Multi-year agreement brings autonomous supply chain execution into Continental Battery Systems' sales operations

BOSTON, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Continental Battery Systems has signed a multi-year agreement with Emerix, the system of action for supply chain execution, to deploy a revenue protection workflow across a sales organization serving more than 45,000 customer locations nationwide. The workflow surfaces account health to territory and inside sales representatives, who receive the reasoning behind each flag and a recommended next step to improve the relationship. Sales leadership gets a region-wide view of coverage and revenue health, used to prioritize coaching and prepare account reviews.

As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, the focus is shifting from generating insights to executing work. While systems of record remain foundational to enterprise operations, they were built to capture transactions, not to take action. Emerix runs autonomous workflows inside those systems, helping organizations execute faster, more consistently, and with measurable business impact.

For Continental Battery Systems, the workflow identifies early signs of opportunity by using signals that transactional reporting does not capture, then routes each account to the representative who owns it. The workflow goes live in twelve weeks; not the multi-year program enterprises have come to expect.

"We've spent nearly a century building one of the largest battery distribution networks in North America. Staying ahead now means putting technology to work inside the way we actually run the business, not around it," said Jim Kitchen, Chief Information Officer, Continental Battery Systems. "Emerix gives our teams the ability to act on what the business is telling us in real time, across hundreds of branches, so we can respond faster, anticipate customer needs, and deliver a better experience every time."

"For twenty years enterprises bought systems to know what was happening. The next twenty will be spent on systems that do something about it. You see it clearly in a business like this one, where two hundred branches generate more signal than any team can read, and the value is never the signal. It's getting the right account in front of the right person while there's still time to act," said Ariel Palones, Co-Founder and CEO of Emerix.
