The Problem: Meeting Customer Demand for Quick Quotation
Prior to implementing AMFG, Swope Design Solutions used a manual quoting system which involved a lengthy back and forth via email or over the phone with customers. Since Swope prides itself on being a reliable and high-quality production provider, the company knew that its quoting system needed updating.
Commented on the partnership, Jason Pfund, Senior Mechanical Engineer at Swope said: “We’re working with AMFG to make it easy for people to get quotes and do so in an automated way. People can be averse to having to call or email someone and wait for a response and they’d rather just see the price and be able to proceed without having an intermediary in there to slow things down.”
The Solution: AMFG’s Rapid Quotation Tool
Introducing AMFG’s Rapid Quote tool allows Swope to achieve faster and more accurate quoting. This efficient process allows Swope to pass along the time savings to its customers and provide greater value.
