BUSINESS EXCELLENCE FOR FOLDING CARTON & DISPLAYS
The inquiry process refers to the gathering of customer requirements and specifications by a manufacturer, allowing them to create accurate product quotes and deliver results that meet the customer’s expectations.
Handle inquiries by using manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic processes to speed up the process. A user-friendly input mask is used to capture customer requirements, which is then supported by numerous logics for correct product data to be collected. To ensure that no incorrect information is given, manufacturers can use feasibility checks based on their product range and production steps.
Product variants can be created based on ECMA standards as well as in-house developments. This allows the manufacturer to offer customers a variety of options and create customized products tailored to their needs. Once the customer has made their decision, variant costing is then used to determine the cost associated with each product parameter. Costing models include all production services and their associated costs.
Pricing and calculation functions include strategic price levels, quantity scales, profit centers, and other features that allow the manufacturer to set prices competitively without sacrificing margins. All necessary order documents will be included as part of the pricing process.
