Stefan Snoek

"

A veritable goldmine of information has now been built up in Merkato's database. The product managers can easily do their own analyses.

"

Hans van den Broek
Stork IMM

"

Sellers can now set out more independently instead of having to check everything for manufacturability. This saves a lot of precious time!

"

Jeroen Scherpenzeel
VDL Translift

"

The quantification of what we have achieved through Merkato is difficult to measure, but I can say with certainty that our working method has become clearer, valuable hours are allocated more efficiently and mistakes are simply no longer made.

"

Koen de Winkel
Comfoor

"

Thanks to Merkato, our customers can no longer place incorrect orders. And upon receipt of the order, we can immediately start the production process without further administrative processing or the intervention of customer service.

"

Rob Stikkelorum
VandeGrijp

"

The decisive factor in the purchase was that I found Merkato so nice and simple. You don't need to have any substantive knowledge. Martijn, who took care of the implementation, had a morning training and that was enough.

"

Gert-Jan Karhof

"

Merkato could easily read the data from my old system. They demonstrated this to us directly during the first meeting and they did so in such a convincing and simple way that it also convinced me to purchase the software.

"

Frank-Jan Evers
Heering

"

The user-friendliness and simple implementation were the decisive points for us.

"

Henk de Jong
Veth

"

The following points were decisive for us. The versatility of the software, the independence for the user, and the user-friendliness and flexibility of the software. For these reasons we chose Merkato.

"

Arno van Riesen
Boon Edam

"

Implementing Merkato has led to a major improvement in efficiency: every order no longer has to undergo a long checking procedure, but the more standard orders can be produced immediately. This in turn has of course also led to an acceleration of the production process for a large part of the orders.

"

André Hoetink
Verasol

"

Previously, recalculating or adjusting was a 'hellish job'. Now, with Merkato, the seller or project leader enters a new size, it is saved and the seller can return to the shop. This used to easily take two hours and Verasol was not even assured of error-free quotations.

"

Alexander Antens
Knapen Trailers

"

Doing international business has become a lot easier since the implementation of our configurator. Knapen Trailers bound by very specific country requirements. Thanks to merkato, impossibilities can no longer be sold.

"

Gerhard Knol
Royal Duyvis Wiener

"

We chose Merkato because we also have to dare to say 'no' during the sales process. And that ability of a supplier to say: 'you shouldn't do what you want, because then you will get a problem' or 'but you can also solve your problem this way and that way'. This shows knowledge and expertise about their own systems and previous experiences. That means you play your own game well.

"

René Smulders
KSE Process Technology

"

By having to capture the data from technical documents in Merkato, discrepancies or ambiguities in product descriptions came to light. So by working with Merkato we actually further build up the knowledge about our own products.

"

Michiel Evers
Polem

"

Complex products such as those of Polem require a specific approach, extensive functionality and computing power that was only available at Merkato. Merkato was the only CPQ that could be perfectly linked to Polem's CRM system, our ERP Synergy and Exact for all product information.

Lots of customers trust Merkato, read about them to understand why Merkato could also be the right solution for you.

AWL

A head office in Harderwijk (NL), branches in the Czech Republic, China, America and Mexico, suppliers of automated production lines for welding and gluing components: that is AWL. A top company in many respects. Within the company, certain lines have to be produced in increasingly higher volumes. This requires standardization based on a whole series of modules. And so Merkato's help was enlisted. In addition to the framed sales process, our configurator also provides better calculations and better quotes - which can also be drawn up much faster!

Wiejelo

In recent years, the company had been growing at lightning speed, and because every system they supply is custom-made, making the corresponding quotations began to require more and more resources. This stood in the way of rapid international expansion, which is why Wiejelo contacted Merkato.

VDL Translift

The risk of errors was high within VDL Translift and with this also came strong dependencies. Every order had to be carefully checked whether the system sold was at all producible. Only a small number of people within the company had the right knowledge for this, wasting valuable time. These issues contributed to VDL Translift's strong need to purchase a sales configurator in which unambiguity would become the core.
