Manufacturing companies run and sell under tough business conditions: Highly competitive markets, fluctuating production costs, and constant pressure to innovate and meet increasing demands. How do manufacturers make effective and informed decisions to meet these challenges?
Finding the right information and managing daily tasks with the highest efficiency is critical in every sales environment. But what makes it more difficult in manufacturing is the availability of real-time information on accounts, products, and ongoing opportunities.

The pain of blind flight in sales
Imagine driving your car without knowing how fast you go, no GPS showing you the route and no access to your brakes. Do your attempts in making decisions resemble flying blind in a foggy night sky? In manufacturing companies, your information about a customer or prospect is often scattered across many systems such as:
- Account Management Tools
- Quotation Tools (or Excel Sheets)
- Document Management systems
- BI tools
- Hard drives of specific people
Identifying task owners, systems, tools and ultimately finding the relevant information is not only painful but a waste of precious time and resources in a highly competitive environment. In times where identifying and prioritizing revenue opportunities need to happen almost in the blink of an eye, manufacturers cannot afford to leave decision-makers in the dark.
Informed decision making powered by the Digital Sales Platform
