At Satisloh, our customers are the top priority. Before In Mind Cloud, we already thought of a strategy to improve customer experience. But only In Mind Cloud was able to help us achieve our vision of offering a next-generation B2B customer experience. Out of all the sales solutions we evaluated, In Mind Cloud stood out with its superior end-user experience, and incredibly easy to maintain and administrate system. It also has an unparalleled integral approach and tight integration with our manufacturing backend SAP ERP. But most of all, the Digital Sales Platform is easy to use, and flexible enough to fit our business needs.

The performance of the Digital Sales Platform CPQ has been great. Since implementing it, we can create proposals the moment we get any requests from our customers. I hope to see that the next update also makes the Aftersales Commerce system faster.

Quoting is now a highly assisted process, and can be done in minutes. This helps greatly accelerate our innovation-to-market time even for global teams and multiple Sales Regions like at Satisloh. The moment customers ask about our new innovations, we are already ready to deliver. We can now easily upsell or cross-sell upgrades, and new machines in the same week they are launched.

I like the ease of configuring our complex machine configurations to create customer quotes.

I'm not too fond of the time it takes between configuration and pricing.

We have minimized quoting errors with the customized required characteristics.

With Manufacturing X our dealers and sales representatives can now quickly create design-based quotes for irrigation projects in minutes rather than days. The powerful calculation engine together with the dynamic visualization capabilities and ERP integration helps us to create an easy user experience for our end-user

We have a quiet complicated scenario with pressure calculations for each pipe in an irrigation system which also influences all other components. To make this scenario work and present it to the user in an easy-to-use way was a challenge a challenge. I’m satisfied.

Minimizing time-to-quote is a real competitive advantage in our engineering-heavy business. This helps us gain speed, agility, and market access in regions with less engineering knowledge.

We value the flexible SAP integration. It enables us to leverage and re-use ERP product models from Variant Configuration for all our configuration and pricing scenarios. Another big advantage is the sales friendly KMAT whilst keeping the production KMAT in the ERP with all the details. Our sales teams can configure at new and unexpected speed in the cloud, thanks to the easy and user-friendly UI. Another big value-add of Manufacturing X is its exceptional extensibility for additional application logic.

I and my company has nothing, that we dislike.

Accelerated configuration and pricing in the cloud. Accessibility for our Variant Configuration models for sales. Increased accuracy in pricing and quoting, ergo savings in order changes.

The solution provides a unified platform for all our engineering and sales data. It delivers transparency across all our departments and plant locations, so we can focus on the right opportunities at the right time to maximize our manufacturing utilization targets. Manufacturing X allows our engineering teams to compute and calculate costs and prices in real-time. Thanks to the interactive costing and pricing feature, we can instantly compare profit margins for different versions along with minimum order quantities and configurations, so we can come up with attractive solutions for our customers and healthy margins for us.

The speed and performance of the application can be further improved.

We established global cost and margin control, end-to-end integrated workflows and are able to make fast and informed business decisions for the future of our business. We were also able to reduce the cycle time for cost build-up and tender submission times.

I appreciate the excel upload of our engineering database and rules, and the end-to-end integration with ERP Pricing.

A bit more flexibility on the map visualization would be great.

We built a generic dimensioning configuration for our products which generates BOMs as per regional needs.

Probably the best part for me was the UI, after old ERP UI experiences it was like a dream.

Mostly it covered all of our processes and needs, maybe it may run a little bit faster but this is not a stopper.

The scope must be clarified very carefully and every step must be considered in terms of application of the product for customer processes. With unclarified scope and request, no product will be effective for a project. Therefore, understanding and embracing the whole processes and needs of customer is essential. Once it is done, you can decide if it fits to your customer needs or not.

Also another advice from my side would be is working with experts and investigating the documents by checking every advised solutions carefully. Because you may see that with some of problems which seem like really difficult or impossible to solve, there is an easy solution within the product which prevents the unnecessary effort and time loss during the implementation. So checking every document and solutions which are suggested and confirmed by official team would help you a lot in terms of implementation and usage.

As a last advice, the development scopes must be clarified before implementation and must be checked if there is any conflict or blurry point within these request. Because you may see that with some of problems which seem like really difficult or impossible to solve, there is an easy solution within the product which prevents the unnecessary effort and time loss during the implementation as I said before formerly. But if you clarify everything, I'm pretty sure that this product will cover all of your needs.

We've used it for our sales processes, and in both handling the sales process and tracking these processes are fastened and became more measureable.
