The Challenge

The need to create a unified sales platform for a quick quote to cash process for 2000+ products.

  • Slow Sales Process: The Sales teams were struggling with slow sales cycle as much of their time was getting allocated to generating quotes, proposals, and gaining approvals. They wanted to fasten the lead to cash process by simplifying the complexities around end-to-end quote generation process.
  • Complex Quote Generation Process: The client had more than 2,000 products in its portfolio as offerings for their customers. The sales team required to generate a dynamic quote quickly for the main product(s) but with a feature to add recommended product(s) and one-off charges for installation of products at premises of customers.
  • Disjointed Applications: There was also a disconnect between their current sales system and their Microsoft Dynamic NAV / Navision ERP. Therefore, the time to generate quotes was high since the real-time inventory availability check through ERP was not possible.
