For engineering businesses, producing accurate and individual quotes for tenders and projects take large amounts of time, expertise and collaboration efforts which ultimately drives up the cost of sales immensely. With the Engineering Sales App these costs can be reduced drastically. Features like mass change, simulation, fast and easy product creation and multi-order creation contribute to efficiently engineered offers in the shortest amount of time. The Engineering Sales App enables manufacturers to assemble quotes based on manufacturing capabilities starting from Excel lists or technical drawings and to generate and attach technical documents such as AutoCAD to complete professional proposals.

Tender Composition
For manufacturers in the Engineer To Order (ETO) business a quote or tender is always an engineered
solution. Sales Engineers have a significant effort to consolidate the customer requirements, partly
delivered in technical drawings, CADs, Excel lists or other raw data. With our Tender Composition sales
engineers can use this data directly to configure a tender via integration and uploads.

Production Knowledge
Engineering solution sales is based on a massive amount of data deeply rooted in purchasing and
production processes. Constantly changing price and cost information needs to be centralized and
made available for the tender contributing parties throughout the life-cycle of the engineered
solutions.
• Enables business users to maintain product models via easy modelling in Excel and
direct upload to the app
• Captures engineering or production knowledge as the basis for costing and pricing
with instant feedback on margins and profitability
• Allows Sales Engineers to import configuration Excels, requirements or BOMs (Bills of
Material) to simplify configuration and costing directly in the system
• Stores, embeds and generates technical drawings such as CAD files from the project
configuration for tender documents to improve product design
• Guarantees fast and consistent processing of customer requirements data and
increases quote accuracy
• Reduces errors from manual processes and increases efficiency for Engineering Sales
processes
• Offers fast and easy product creation, mass change and multi-order creation for
efficiently engineered offers in the shortest amount of time
• Delivers maximum flexibility for business users to adapt to the speed of the market
and offer innovative solutions in the shortest possible time
• Enriches customer with data-drive and visual outcome
• Centralizes the data management for engineering sales relevant figures in order
to create single source of truth
• Provides seamless integration to backend and production data from ERP for
always up-to-date product and pricing data throughout the life cycle of a product or
from tender creation to after-market quotes
• Offers central price management and price follow-up for products throughout the
lifecycle
• Creates Production and Sales Orders directly in the ERP to avoid double data
maintenance and manual errors
• Ensures production engineering changes propagate end-to-end and are reflected in
downstream BOMs, demand plans and procurement orders.
• Models manufacturing sequences such as steps, machine and cost configurator, hence
allows manufacturers to analyse and experiment with the process and obtain insights
that improve value and lower cost prior to production

Engineering Collaboration
Offering engineering solutions requires a maximum of successful collaboration. Sales Engineers,
Product Designers, Purchasing Departments, Tender Managers, Order Management and Production
teams need to collaborate seamlessly and without the slightest delay to guarantee a fast and flawless
tender submission. Engineering Collaboration enables a meticulous interplay between all parties
involved in the tender process to achieve highest customer satisfaction.
• Provides configurable workflows for all tender contributing parties guaranteeing efficient
progress of all steps required`
• Tracks tasks and automates routing to streamline internal processes and provide an
always up-to-date status overview to managers
• Sends approval notifications to involved parties to guarantee feasibility, accuracy and
profitability of the tender
• Provides simplified UI specified to respective roles for easy and fast collaboration
• Offers flexible data access limitation for users and roles to ensure compliance
Material Creation
With the offering of engineered solutions, manufacturers do not only have to accurately estimate and
simulate costs of new materials, assemblies and finished goods, but propagate this knowledge right
into the production system after quote acceptance. The Material Creation feature is seamlessly
transferring this data into the backend, hence providing a vital tool to plan production and guarantee
manufacturing success.
• Creates previously quoted finished goods, assembly, Bill of Material and material routing
data directly in the ERP
• Avoids errors from double data creation
• Streamlines quote to product cycle with accurate engineering data in the production
system from the time of tender acceptance
• Shortens time-to-market for custom engineering solutions
