ProductCart Build To Order case study: a quoting system for industrial machinery

ProductCart Build To Order helps Carl Zeiss IMT streamline the process of creating quotes for complex industrial products over the Internet

ProductCart Build To OrderThe marketing department at Carl Zeiss IMT Corporation, a division of Carl Zeiss that manufacturers industrial measuring products, had looked for a quoting system that would meet its needs for quite some time.

The company needed a way for its dealers to generate custom product quotes in a secure, Web-based environment that would guarantee centralized control and easy access on all information used to prepare the quotes.

At the same time, the company needed a way for its sales department to effectively manage the finished quotes submitted by its dealers. Early Impact used its ProductCart Build To Order ecommerce and quoting system as a platform, and added numerous customizations in a timely and budget-sensitive manner. The result was a powerful product configuration and quoting system that improves productivity, reduces errors, and contains the costs involved with the process of generating, receiving and managing custom product quotes.
