Fliegl Agrartechnik GmbH

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.

Bernhard Berger, Sales

Mayer & Cie. GmbH & Co KG

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.

Sebastian Mayer, Chief Digital Officer

TRUMPF SE + Co KG

As a technology pioneer, we also expect top 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

Ersa GmbH

Thanks to SAE CPQ, all options and machines are available in the consultation process. The proportion of options sold increased by 15-20% and delivery times were reduced by around 20%.

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

We are happy that our competitors do NOT have such systems.

“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? Our CPQ software now contains this concentrated knowledge. It provides you with a tool to not only keep up with the competition, but to clearly stay ahead.”

– Erich Schaarschmidt, Founder & Managing Director

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

CRM helps with contact, SAE software with everything else.”
