Let’s get back to the customer success story of Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG. We first described the problems in their sales process caused by still using physical documents and long price lists. Now let’s share the solution: Elfsquad. Rather than spending years building a custom CPQ tool, Handtmann chose Elfsquad to quickly deliver 80% of the solution and easily integrate with their CRM. For large companies like Handtmann, defining the scope is crucial in CPQ implementation—it's all about starting with a solid plan. Additionally, user feedback is essential. It's not just about adding new technology; it's a strategic move that deeply impacts operations. Walpole Partnership, experts in CPQ for enterprise manufacturing, understands these challenges. They helped Handtmann create realistic plans. Furthermore, they tested the solution in the market and used feedback to improve their implementation. This ensured a scalable, user-friendly setup of Elfsquad for future-proof success.

𝗘𝗹𝗳𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗱 @ 𝗞𝗪𝗙 𝗧𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 - 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘇𝗲𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻/𝗛𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻, 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆: 𝟭𝟵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 Next week, members of the Squad will be making the rounds at the world’s largest forestry demo and networking event. We can’t wait to meet some new faces and connect with some familiar ones. In the meantime, let us introduce you to Ufkes Greentec. Ufkes is a manufacturer of custom wood chippers, stump grinders, and timber cranes, managing their sales through an extensive, international dealer network. Previously, dealers at Ufkes were always required to ask what machines they could supply or if their quotes were correct. They'd then relay this information to customers, who often had further questions. This back-and-forth with the main office was time-consuming and had a high risk of error. After implementing Elfsquad, dealers can now create accurate quotes on-site. This allows them to discuss options and combinations directly with customers, leading to 100% error-free quotations.
