Whether they are managing huge numbers of parts, heavy equipment, or materials, manufacturers deal with complicated configurations and ordering processes, an ever-growing competitive landscape, and an evolving global economy. To deliver the experience today\u2019s dealers and clients expect, manufacturers are looking to the power of digital technologies.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to focus?<\/h2>\n<p>Digitization is ultimately aimed at enabling the business to enhance the customer experience and build its competitive advantage, but transformation doesn\u2019t come easy, so manufacturers are wondering, \u201cwhere should we focus\u201d? PROS believes the best place to begin any process of change is where it will have the most impact. When it comes to digital transformation, that would be the interactions between the manufacturer and its dealers and clients, otherwise known as the end-to-end sales process.<\/p>\n<h2>In this Solutions Brief, You Will Learn How the PROS Platform Enables You to Address the Following Challenges:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cWe find it difficult to anticipate market conditions and respond to the competition\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWithout visibility into our data, we cannot fix margin erosion\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe\u2019re under pressure to hit growth targets but don\u2019t know what customers to focus on\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe can\u2019t easily keep prices updated, relevant, or consistent across channels\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe don\u2019t know what customers would be willing to pay so we quickly opt to offering high discounts\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cOur pricing processes are manual and lengthy\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe need a better and easier ordering process for our field sales, dealers, and order administrators\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cLarge requests take a while for us to respond to so customers get upset\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWith hundreds of customers, we have a high error right in quotes and orders\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>PROS in Manufacturing<\/h2>\n<p>PROS uniquely delivers both the breadth of technology and the depth of practical experience in transforming the end-to-end sales process to meet the demands of manufacturers in the digital economy.
