Nowadays sales are all about customer centricity and making sure their needs are met as soon as possible without compromising the quality of your service or a product. Orders must be processed immediately, advice has to be timely and accurate and it all must be done here and now. Demanding self-informed clients are putting more and more pressure on the sales reps who are burning a candle at both ends trying to meet those demands.
This is just servicing the existing clients, what about acquiring new ones?
Most companies, especially wholesale brands and distributors, are looking for ways to increase revenue and improve profitability at the same time.
More than 60% of companies aim to increase revenue from their current customer base and cut cost by improving current employee productivity.
However, increasing productivity of someone who is already overwhelmed seems like an impossible thing to do.
Unless you had the intelligent tools based on latest technologies that can make it possible.

All of these tools are useful enough individually, but having a separate one for each of your sales processes can only get you so far. Eventually, you will be forced to enter the data manually and your reporting will never be accurate enough.
