Sales

The Challenge:

It’s never been easier to shop the competition than in today’s world of ecommerce. No one knows this better than your customers, who demand quick, competitively priced solutions delivered without delays or mistakes. Growing revenue and retaining market share in this fiercely competitive arena is tough for everybody, but especially so for MTO/ETO manufacturers.

The Solution:

Sales arms your sales, order-entry, channel partners and customers with an easy on-line solution that guides them through configured product/feature selections to generate accurate costs, prices and incremental graphic views of the product as it’s being built. Sales extends your IT investments by integrating to existing ERP, CRM, CAD, PDM and e-commerce systems to automate and manage workflow processes enterprise-wide. Sales supports your web presence in on-line quote/order/shopping cart strategies. Platform and database independent, Sales may be integrated to other modules to produce custom proposal documents, bills of materials, routings and manufacturing instructions.
