Why sales stall in manufacturing.
The same problems come up in almost every company we meet in this industry.
Every quote needs engineering, purchasing and planning input, so customers buy from whoever answers first.
Sales commits dates without seeing capacity, then production pays in overtime and penalties.
Raw material prices move but quotes use last quarter's cost.
“I wait three days for a cost from production before I can quote.”
“I find out about big orders when they land in the system.”
“We are busy, but margins keep falling.”
How Synclo CRM grows sales in manufacturing.
Five practical ways, each with a real-world example of Alci at work.
Quote in hours with live costs
Quotes pull current material prices, routings and labour rates. Alci drafts the quote and flags anything below target margin.
In practiceAn RFQ for 40 t of film is quoted in 2 hours using today's resin price and actual line yield.
Capable-to-promise delivery dates
Before confirming, Alci checks capacity, material availability and open orders.
In practiceAlci offers week 46 instead of week 44 because line 2 is booked, avoiding a penalty clause.
Key account plans
See each distributor's and OEM's volumes, forecasts, claims and share of wallet.
In practiceAlci notices a distributor's orders dropped 30% while their market grew, and alerts the account manager.
Samples and trials that convert
Track every sample, trial result and approval step until the customer orders.
In practice14 samples shipped last quarter; Alci reminds sales to follow up on the 5 with no feedback after 3 weeks.
Contract pricing under control
Annual price agreements, index-linked pricing and rebates tracked automatically.
In practiceResin index rose 8%. Alci lists the 6 contracts with price adjustment clauses due this month.
