Do you know your clients well? Do you dedicate to all the same time equally? Would you sell more if you had more sales reps?
Juan José Colás, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Lantek
Managers who try to understand and deepen their knowledge of their market ask themselves these questions every day.
In an increasingly hyper-connected world, the metal sector is no exception. Factories face new challenges related to the use of information and access to data; not only manufacturing data but also commercial data.
At Lantek, we are aware that companies do not have fast and precise tools that cover the relationship with clients from preparation of a quote to invoicing an order despite the overwhelming amount of data obtained from the machines and ERPS integrated in plants.
The high number of consultations and orders received by part subcontractors makes it difficult to prioritize and identify recurring clients and those that give us better or worse success ratios in offers while establishing an optimal number of necessary sales reps.
Lantek will soon launch Lantek Customer Analytics, an advanced analytics tool. This business intelligence tool is adapted to the specific needs of the metal sector which feeds from the information generated by the Lantek suite of products while providing integrations with third-party products.
In mid-March, when lockdown had only just started in many countries, we were writing about the digitization of supply chains to place value on the importance of using Industry 4.0 enablers (Digital Factory).
Project-based management is increasingly common within the world of software. The increasingly digitized environment requires comprehensive software solutions that provide relatively simple solutions to organizations’ productivity issues. This has forced partners like Lantek to offer customized solutions that efficiently respond to its customers’ particular problems. In order to deliver on all the commitments made with the highest quality and minimal risks to sales, the implementation of project-based management has become an essential tool within our sector.
The digital transformation process brings with it a lot of uncertainty. How do I know what tasks and changes I need to carry out in my organization to transform it? It’s impossible to know beforehand. How do I know where I will end up in my transformation process once it is finished? It’s impossible to have a clear idea at the beginning.
