While standard ERP and CRM solutions all work in a similar way, producing quotes on the basis of a product tree, GoMakes solution works very differently. GoMake creates a representation of each piece of machinery the printer owns. It also tracks operator performance and various material behavior. As a result, GoMake’s quote generator can simulate actual print runs determining actual print costs. On the basis of these costs, it can produce quotes that help avoid costly mistakes and guarantee profits as described by the printer.
Since GoMakes stores a representation of the plant’s machinery and behavior, creating quotes requires little to no prior knowledge. Sales representatives require very little training, in order to start working – normally no more than one or two days of training. Managers, on the other hand, are not required to supervise the quotes that are generated and as a result, they can focus on other tasks as part of managing the plant.
