Challenges in the manual quotation process
To begin with, it is crucial to become aware of the current hurdles that arise in the bidding process. The four biggest challenges are identified below.
1. Big effort
Manual quotation preparation requires many steps that involve a great deal of effort.
These necessary steps include:
- Searching for customer information
- Selecting articles
- Creating the offer
- Saving the offer as a PDF
- Sending the PDF by email
- Transferring data to the CRM system
This extensive process takes time. If every step is manual, there are many situations that potentially delay the process. This hinders business and has a negative impact on the deals.
2. Susceptibility to errors
Creating quotations often requires the full concentration of employees. However, this does not prevent the manual entry of quotation content from being prone to errors. It is painful for your business if the wrong items are offered or incorrect prices appear on the quotation. Such errors lead to delays, misunderstandings or even loss of sales.
3. Lack of clarity
Manually managing offers is often confusing. A standardized management system is difficult to implement if the information is scattered across various platforms.
Tracking the status of an offer seamlessly is challenging. This results in breaks in communication between those involved and a lack of transparency.

Efficiency and security when preparing quotations
The offer is a legal declaration. For this reason, it is important that the offer is correct. You should make sure that all details, such as company and customer data, conditions and price, are correct. Nevertheless, you must not ignore the time aspect when preparing the offer. Efficiency in the process is just as relevant. The faster a customer receives a correct and complete quotation, the greater the chance of success.
In reality, however, this is usually a "grown" process that has evolved over time. The processes are rarely revised and are determined by the IT systems. This leads to a deficit in efficiency.
How can the process be optimized?
Fortunately, the problems described above are no longer the order of the day. By using and integrating digital tools, quotation processes can be optimized.
1. Automation and acceleration
Integrations minimize manual intermediate steps and enable automated quotation processes. This takes the pressure off your employees and leaves more time for more important tasks.
You will benefit from a reduced error rate and enhanced efficiency. Your response time to an inquiry is faster than before. In addition, the automatic transfer of data prevents duplication of maintenance work.
2. Approvals
Syncler enables the approval of your offers, facilitating a smoother workflow. This is helpful, for example, if you do not use a CRM system. If necessary, you can activate certain discounts automatically. If the personal limit is exceeded, an approval process takes effect.
3. Shipping
It is possible to integrate additional information from external systems, such as product images, into your offer. Mail merge templates can be created and sent with Syncler.
Digitally signing quotations makes ordering easier for the customer. Intermediate steps such as printing, manual signing and scanning are no longer necessary. Instead, the process runs digitally from start to finish.

Conclusion
In summary, digitizing the quotation process generates consistently positive changes. When creating quotations, some processing steps are eliminated, saving you time. More important tasks receive more attention. All relevant data is automatically transferred to the systems you use and is accessible across departments. You work more accurately, faster and with higher quality. This increases customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.
