- A Radically Different Approach Enables Sales Professionals to Use the SAP Variant Configurator in an Interface Very Similar to Their Microsoft Outlook(TM)
COPENHAGEN, September 10 /PRNewswire/ --
- The Danish Software Company, Configit, Releases Configit Quote - the Sales Configurator for SAP Organizations Selling Complex Products
COPENHAGEN, September 10 /PRNewswire/ --
Configit announces the October release of Configit Quote, a very different type of sales configurator for manufacturing companies using the SAP Variant Configurator.
"Just imagine the power of SAP and the usability of Microsoft in one solution," says Henrik Reif Andersen, CEO at Configit and professor at the IT University of Copenhagen. "All too often SAP and the models built in the SAP Variant Configurator are not utilized to the full extent by the organization. With Configit Quote you effectively expand the footprint of your SAP system by enabling many more people to benefit from it."
Quote with confidence
Configit Quote extracts all the data and functionality from the SAP Variant Configurator and makes it available in a quote tool that sales professionals can use offline on their laptops. When online, it synchronizes with SAP to ensure that prices, options and constraints are always up to date.
"It is very user-friendly with a modern look and feel. Most impressive, however, is Configit Quote's ability to capture and use the SAP variant configurator outside the system and to feed quotes back into SAP," says Robert Isler, CIO at Netstal, a Swiss manufacturer of plastic molding machines, and continues "Configit Quote has given us much shorter sales cycles and a considerable drop in flawed machine specifications."
Take SAP on the road - looking much like Microsoft Outlook(TM)
Sales professionals can be confident that quotes are correct with valid specifications without repeatedly having to check with product specialists. The result is a faster, more efficient and consistent quoting process and a significant reduction of errors, omissions and re-iterations. The outcome is shorter sales cycles and a sales force that confidently exploits the full manufacturing potential while quoting.
The solution is designed to increase productivity for mobile sales teams and is based on Windows Vista User Experience Guidelines. Consequently, users will feel right at home and be able to use the sales configurator with only limited training. It runs on standard laptops and you can produce reliable quotes anytime and anywhere, even with the customer and in collaboration with other sales professionals.
Configit Quote will be released in October 2008.
