December 9, 2014

Do you even have one? So many of our customers are stuck in the same old processes they have used for years, but now is the time to change.

Why is a Quote-to-Order Strategy important?

Being experienced in the channel, channelcentral gets many requests for help to improve efficiencies in Distribution for configuring complex products but very few of our customers actually know the answer to the question we are asking today. It’s because they don’t have a strategy. By putting one in place however, you will instantly see the positive impact it can have on your business:

  • Consistent approach so staff and customers have set expectations.
  • Improved accuracy – quote it Right, First Time!
  • Improved Security – Less risk of losing data as quotes are stored in the cloud.
  • Improved product information.
  • Instant growth in the number of quotations.
  • Reduced overheads.
  • Faster quote turnaround time.
  • Ability to quote anywhere either through your browser or a Smartphone App.
  • Increase in revenue!

Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it?! The great news is, it really is quite simple.
By considering a Configure/ Price/ Quote (CPQ) service as part of your Quote-to-Order Strategy you could be reaping the rewards sooner than you think. Why not contact channelcentral today to discuss your strategy and how we can help with a cost effective solution?

What is Memristor?

December 8, 2014

Not quite as exciting as a new Transformer, but almost!

Memristor is a tech term that you will hear more over the next couple of years from HP. Faster than DRAM with the permanence of Flash and the storage density greater than disk. Could it be used as storage or memory? The answer to both is yes! Amazing though it sounds, swapping IONs at the atomic level will facilitate the creation of multi TB of storage that is no bigger than 3 stacked Smartphones. Watch this space.
