Configit Quote helps Netstal deliver accurate quotes, improve communication and increase SAP functionality

 

Netstal, based in Switzerland, manufactures highly complex and configurable injection moulding machines. Complex machines that are used for making icre cream containers, mobile phone cases and medical equipment.

Despite the complexity, Netstal has achieved a time- and cost-efficient sales process with Configit Quote, the SAP certified mobile sales configurator that is fully integrated into their SAP Variant Configurator (SAP VC).

With Configit Quote on their laptops, sales people easily generate precise quotes with full SAP quoting support but using an interface with familiar Microsoft .NET components.

 

The improved sales process

With the total integration between Configit Quote and the Netstal SAP system, up-to-date product rules and knowledge are easily accessible to sales people. A whole new line of communication opens up: Sales can capture customer requirements on site and immediately respond with correct configuration and pricing. They can then transmit the customer requirements to the SAP system and eventually create an order.

 

The savings

Time and expense are saved with Configit Quote. "There are fewer errors in our quotes and configurations", says Dave Green, head of commercial software development at Netstal. This results in shorter sales cycle and, therefore, more sales per headcount. "Production does not have to be interrupted, delivery is correct and on time, and customers are happy", he says.

 

Status after 18 months

Implementation was on time and budget. "Training took only 2 -3 hours and our sales people love Configit Quote. As for support, well, we don't need a lot of support now, that's how good the solution is," says Dave Green. "Of course, we needed some support during the start up phase and the response we received from Configit was quick and competent. The support was great."
