Business challenge
Centravis’ sales department in Germany faced a highly manual and time-consuming process for handling sales opportunities. The process involved identifying product specifications, calculating prices in Excel, and sending requests to the factory.
Given the complexity of their product catalog of 17,000 different products with multiple parameters such as material, diameter, blanks, and manufacturer, calculating a single quote required significant effort. Price calculation algorithms varied, and determining availability, production load, and raw material stock took considerable time. Additionally, managing credit limits and generating quotes manually slowed down the sales process, reducing overall efficiency.
