Control your customer processes directly throughout project planning

Excel through optimum customer-orientation: Control your customer processes directly throughout your project planning and product development operations – instead of with separate Excel or CRM tools. Technical Sales does exactly what its name suggests: You benefit from all the essential functions and data of an enterprise-wide data hub for your customers and customer projects. Starting with organizational and contact data, through communications processes, offers, specifications and other documents, you have the complete customer history all the way through to the transition from the offer process and project planning to project realization.

Display relationships and dependencies
Relationships and dependencies can be displayed easily and transparently. You always have an overview of variants and adaptations to existing developments and can directly access all the harmonization levels of the development data. And you can do so from the very beginning right the way through to the end of the project.
