New Partner: Configit Strengthens Position in Germany
Through the partnership with Sybit, Configit takes another important step in the fulfillment of the strategy to improve existing configuration technology by providing a general platform for compilation and distribution of configurators throughout the entire sales channel.
“Germany is a very important market for us given the number and size of companies within manufacturing,” says Henrik Reif Andersen, CEO of Configit, ”and with our focus on companies using SAP we could not ask for a stronger partner and reseller. Sybit is highly respected in the market and has a long and deep experience with customer-facing SAP implementations. Consequently, I am proud that Sybit recognizes the value of Configit by signing up as a partner.”
Configit recently released Configit Quote, which enables sales professionals to use compiled versions of the SAP Variant Configurator models from a user interface with a Microsoft Office™ look-and-feel.
"Sybit focuses on configuration solutions on the SAP standard platform. Configit Quote enables us to include slim offline quotation configuration in our portfolio, which uses the standard and covers key requirements for our customers in the manufacturing industry. In this context, Configit Quote optimally complements the SAP Variant Configuration in ERP and CRM", says Martin Müller, Managing Director of Sybit GmbH.
Value add and significant ROI
“Configit Quote is a great value add for companies producing complex products in the industrial manufacturing industry,” says Lars Høgsted, VP of Sales, Configit. “Configit Quote basically expands the footprint of SAP so that more users – especially front office personnel – benefit from the power of SAP. This deep link from the core of SAP to the point of customer engagement improves and speeds up the quote-to-order process. The ROI in terms of cost savings and improved sales efficiency is very significant.”
