Cincom's Sales Configurator Helps Complex Manufacturers Create Effective Sales Configuration
CINCINNATI, OH-- Complex manufacturers using Salesforce can
now win more orders from customers and fulfill them accurately and on time.
Worldwide software provider Cincom Systems (www.cincom.com) presents
Cincom's Sales Configurator™ for Salesforce.com's AppExchange, available
at www.salesforce.com/appxchange.com. Salesforce.com's more than 35,300
customers now have access to Cincom's Sales Configurator through the
AppExchange, the world's first on-demand marketplace for business
applications.
Cincom's Sales Configurator captures the product, services, and business
knowledge needed for guided selling, complex product and sales
configuration, and proposal management. It enables complex manufacturers to
capture and deliver critical application, product, pricing, and process
knowledge to the point of sale -- ensuring the optimal fit between the
manufacturers' product offering and customers' needs.
Manufacturers with engineer-to-order or configure-to-order products have
successfully streamlined sales, design, and proposal processes by using
Cincom to deliver critical product and sales knowledge to the point of sale
and reduce "quote-to-cash" time significantly.
"By becoming Salesforce Certified, Cincom commits to aggressively expanding
its channel program," says Gregor Newland, Ventures manager responsible for
Cincom Manufacturing Business Solutions' partner channel in the United
States. "Salesforce.com's service partners are always on the lookout for
software technologies that will benefit their clients, especially those
that leverage the Force.com platform. The AppExchange is the first place
they look for these technologies."
"Cincom's Sales Configurator is a leader in flexibility and true knowledge
management, and now this functionality is tightly integrated with the power
of Salesforce," continues Newland. "This allows service partners to better
enable their clients to improve crucial front-office processes such as
product configuration, estimating and bidding, and quotation and proposal
management."
Easy integration with Salesforce
To the end-user, the integration between the two products is seamless. A
simple button appears on the Salesforce menu marked "configure product."
This button opens a web-based version of Cincom's Sales Configurator for
Salesforce and lists all of the products that can be configured. Products
configured in Cincom's Sales Configurator are stored in the Salesforce
application.
