RFQ Optimization at Atlas Copco
Atlas Copco needed to improve its collaboration processes with global OEM customers to shorten response timelines and increase RFQ responses and win rates.
Executive Summary
In its first six months of use, Atlas Copco doubled their number of RFQ responses and achieved a near 100% close rate from a single Class 8 truck manufacturing plant by responding to RFQs with Vertex Software, resulting in an ROI of nearly 20,000%. With Vertex, Atlas Copco increased sales revenue and improved customer confidence and satisfaction, all while reducing the time needed to respond to customers' RFQs giving them a distinct competitive advantage.
"Combining 3D data casts the vision for how a solution will work in real life without needing the actual tool. I have a 90% close rate when I present deals with Vertex." -Tim Kuhls, Sales Manager
“I’ve spent 28 hours translating a file Vertex opened in seconds.”
