When
it comes to creating a sales quote, the first thing that you have to do is to
go through every distributor’s website that you are connected to, in order to
view pricing and availability of products. So if you are buying products from 4
distributors then it becomes necessary to browse through each of their sites
and access updated product information. Now this can be extremely tedious and
time-consuming, which can eventually slow down the quoting process.
Won’t
it better if all the product-related information coming from various
distributors is available at one place? When everything you need for quote
creation is accessible from one location, it will take only a few minutes to
put together a quote. The answer lies in using a sales quoting software which
will simplify the way you obtain product catalog data from your connected
distributors. These tools come with ‘real time pricing and availability’
feature that give a single view of product data coming from multiple
distributors.
An
online sales quoting tool allows you to connect to distributors’ online
catalog. Product catalogs coming from different distributors are combined to
form one single aggregated catalog, which is then integrated with the quoting tool.
So if you are connected to, say Nectron
International distributor and Supplies Network
distributor, online catalog of both these suppliers will be
aggregated and then connected to the software tool. The information in the
aggregated catalog is in a well-structured format, making it easier to
understand and moreover you can even compare products to check their pricing
coming from different distributors.
Also
the aggregated catalog is updated in real time. So any fluctuations in pricing
and availability at the distributor’s end are immediately reflected in the
catalog in real time. So when you use this software tool, you can easily
retrieve latest product pricing and availability information from your distributors.
