Real successes

  • As a technology pioneer, we also expect the best performance from our suppliers.

    SAE has been a reliable partner for TRUMPF for over 10 years and ensures our global sales success with the SAE CPQ.
    Werner Laufer
    Head of Corporate Supply Chain & Financial Solutions
  • Thanks to SAE CPQ, all options and machines are available in the consultation process. The proportion of options sold has increased by 15-20% and delivery times have been reduced by around 20%.

    Even complex quotations, including installation drawings, are created worldwide and error-free within 30 minutes using SAE CPQ.

    We are happy that our competitors do NOT have such systems.
    Rainer Krauss
    Executive Vice President
  • We spent a long time looking for a system that would optimally support our sales department in its day-to-day business. The challenge was to find a partner who could guarantee us freedom of design as well as practicality and offline use.

    The product configurator from SAE provides us with exactly that and is therefore the ideal solution for Fliegl. But it's not just the product that impresses, but also the people behind it. The collaboration was efficient and pleasant right from the start.

    We already have new project ideas and are looking forward to implementing them together.

  • 40 different machine types in 40,000,000 variants - sold in 100 countries around the world. In SAE, we have not only found a technical platform but also an inspiring partner to digitalize our complex sales process. SAE CPQ makes our pre-sales process faster, simpler, more reliable and more up-to-date - without media or logic breaks in our SAP system.

    This is what digitalization should look like!

    Thank you for the competent, transparent and open advice and your passion in the implementation.

Erich Schaarschmidt
Founder & Managing Director

"Selling complex products - that's a real challenge. As an engineer, I know this first-hand. That's why I asked myself: What should the ideal process look like that gives you a clear advantage? This accumulated knowledge is now in our CPQ software.

This gives you a tool to not only keep up with the competition, but to clearly stay ahead."

Managing Director

"After the first customer meeting, the actual sales process begins: creating quotations, configuring products, calculating prices.

CRM helps with the contact, CPQ with everything else."
