They enjoy a powerful and seamless approach to convince their customers more easily.

A veritable goldmine of information has now been built up in Merkato's database. The product managers can easily do their own analyses.
"
"
Sellers can now set out more independently instead of having to check everything for manufacturability. This saves a lot of precious time!
"
"
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.
"
"
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.

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

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.
"
"
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.
"
"
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.
"
"
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.
"
"
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.
