The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In manufacturing and industrial sales, sales engineers must quickly recommend the best materials or machinery for each client. The process often means copying data from SAP or Oracle ERP into Excel, manually building ROI spreadsheets, and writing custom proposals in Word. This repetitive work eats up valuable time and increases the risk of errors. When decisions drag, clients may choose a competitor who responds faster.

If you keep ignoring it
