Challenge

For the management and processing of its price offers, employees used to have to repeatedly re-enter identical data, to get these to pass through the entire flow of offer follow-up. This consumed enormous amounts of time and generated several mistakes.

Solution

A system has been elaborated that allows sales persons to create price offers via their local application, which afterwards are transferred to a central computer via a system of automatic synchronisation. Evaluation and follow-up of the data can take place on this central computer.

Result

A client-server application has been developed that allows sales persons to create price offers on their laptops. The offers are synchronised to a centralised database system. Here they can be evaluated and, if necessary, modified, before they are automatically returned to the work environment of the sales person.

Advantages

• Integration of the various life cycle phases of a price offer
• Full automation of the transmission of data during the different phases
• Uniform inputs and representations of price offers
• Continuous follow-up of the evolution of price offers is now possible
