Successful digital transformation in sales

How WashTec created a completely new sales logic with SAE CPQ

A pioneer in car washes enters the digital age.

Learn how WashTec is revolutionizing sales with SAE CPQ. Moving away from manual processes and confusing Excel lists, toward a holistic sales approach that bundles machines, service, and chemicals into one offer.

A new philosophy that puts the customer at the center and paves the way to a smart future.

The initial situation

Excel and the “missing link”

As the inventor of the automated car wash, WashTec is an industry leader.

However, its sales department lagged behind digital developments. Salespeople visited customers with Excel price lists, which led to a fragmented sales process. Often, the machine was sold first, while service or chemicals were offered weeks later by other teams.

There was no central system, a “missing link,” to offer customers a comprehensive solution and streamline the sales process.

The Results

Implementation within a few months and immediate results

The SAE CPQ was implemented at WashTec within a few months and delivered immediate results. WashTec now has a sales tool that combines “everything in one” and creates a completely new sales logic for distribution.

Attractive design

Instead of manually created quotes using Excel and Word, customers now receive attractive quotes with layouts, images, and even videos.

Schnelle Einarbeitung

Neue Vertriebsmitarbeiter und Partner können sich nun schnell und ohne umfassendes Vorwissen in den komplexen Konfigurationsprozess einarbeiten.

Volle Transparenz

Die Vertriebsaktivitäten sind besser nachverfolgbar, und das Abwicklungszentrum von Mayer & Cie. erhält die richtigen Informationen direkt vom Vertrieb.

“A new sales approach”

As the speakers emphasize, this project is not about installing another piece of software, but rather about a completely new sales approach for WashTec. It is a partnership that has made it possible to optimize internal processes and offer customers a comprehensive solution.
