Stanley Security Solutions’ new web-based quote system promises to open new doors for their salesforce
FARMINGTON, CT — March 16, 2011 — Indiana-based Stanley Security Solutions, a division of Stanley Black & Decker and a leading provider of high-quality mechanical products, systems, and services for virtually every mechanical access control and security application, today launched its expanded quotation-to-order system built using the i-MARK web-based sales QuoteBuilder™ software platform and resources.
With their strong emphasis on service, Stanley Security Solutions now creates, reviews, and approves complex door automation and security system quotations in hours instead of days. Their quotation-to-order system incorporates all project elements such as: overall system design; tear-down and installation labor; materials; and internally-produced and 3rd-party components. Stanley now has an exact read on profitability levels and discount floors during sales negotiations, helping them get winning quotes out to the market faster than their competition. The system tracks customer negotiated changes and upon Stanley’s acceptance, the updated quotation contains all the information ready to be entered into Stanley’s SAP®-based ERP system.
i-MARK’s web-based 24/7 BUSINESS™ sales QuoteBuilder module, configured to meet Stanley’s requirements by our developers, not only performs to Stanley Security Solution’s exacting specifications, i-MARK also provides the operating infrastructure, SaaS-hosting, and customer support. This allows Stanley to focus on delivering high-quality and winning quotations that meet profit goals and are fully in-synch with factory production capabilities and delivery promises.
i-MARK’s 24/7 BUSINESS Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Sales Process Automation framework (including a website eCatalog and/or eConfigurator) deploys web-based product and engineering self-service centers of excellence exclusively for the complex engineered product manufacturer. i-MARK’s manufacturer-experienced staff uniquely configures each customer’s 24/7 BUSINESS framework with their data, rules and graphics style, then operates the system by way of SaaS-based hosting. Customers self-maintain their eBusiness systems in real-time using i-MARK’s comprehensive Administrative User Portal. i-MARK also offers a full suite of eBusiness extension modules, easily implemented to provide quotation, order management and other capabilities, fully integrated to popular ERP, CMS and CRM systems.
