SALES AREA

What about the "Purchase Cycle?" Long, Complex and Customized

In manufacturing, sales models are evolving rapidly, therefore team leaders have to structure processes that ensures  better sales performances.

A defined and shared sales method allows to coordinate and drive each salesman and business partner towards the adoption and consolidation of the best practices while respecting the potential of the individual. Complex sales processes can be structured into steps, milestones and tasks in order to advance in an organized way through the sales workflow until it is closed.

In the sales area, activities regarding the sales evaluation, analysis and  forecasts play a fundamental role. In fact, an error generated during these phases can affect following workflows, leading to insufficient or incorrect purchase orders, to the inability to optimize the company productive capacity as well as other costly errors.

SOLUTIONS

One single integrated solution adaptable to various application scenarios and providing benefits to multiple business processes.

Standardization of the sales process.

Generally, “sales process” refers to a repeatable set of steps a sales team takes with prospects to move them from early stage to closed customers. Having a standardized sales process adds structure and responsibility to sales activities and leads to higher order conversion rates and shorter sales cycles, too. Each department, with a direct or indirect contribution to the sales team, operates using the same processes and assumptions. The continuity of the collaboration allows the team to predict when the support is needed. Also, it helps the organization to plan workloads at the closing of the order.

Sales Process Automation

The configurator combined with the CRM system supports the sales force in the process of configuring complex offers by defining the correct product structures, automatically calculating prices, managing discounts and applying parameters based on customer characteristics or country of origin. The result is a lean sales process that allows to handle many negotiations and increase order closing and conversion rates.

Effectively manage resellers and sales channel partners.

As a manufacturer, the success of the business also depends on the channel partner network and their sales representatives. An under-performing distribution network could limit growth, therefore, providing it with an integrated platform endowed with configuration functions allows simplifying the access to the company knowledge base, adhesion to product configuration rules and compliance to company policies.

New product request evaluation and fulfilment workflows.

Requests for new products and/or product variants, generally collected by the customer service,can be automatically directed to the proper technical and sales workflows on the basis of rules configured within the system. So, RuleDesigner is able to support the entire workflow from the collection of specifications to the communication of the feasibility outcome and the start of the purchase order.

Managing and delivering the business knowledge.

A standardized sales process, supported by rule-based tools, makes the sales-force training simpler and faster and it shows salesmen how to deal with different selling situations.
