NetMotion Wireless Deploys BigMachines to Improve Sales Quotes and Proposals

Mobile productivity software company uses BigMachines with salesforce.com to improve quoting and proposal generation.

Chicago, IL & Frankfurt, Germany – August 21, 2008 – BigMachines, Inc. announced today that NetMotion Wireless, a leading provider of mobile productivity and management software, has successfully deployed BigMachines’ configuration, pricing, quoting, and proposal generation solution.

NetMotion is using BigMachines, integrated with Salesforce.com, to enable inside sales and field sales representatives to have access to updated, accurate product configurations and pricing. In addition, BigMachines now automates what had been time-consuming, manual processes for sales reps. This includes the ability to co-terminate a new maintenance agreement with an existing agreement, and the ability to generate quotes in the same opportunity for multiple resellers who are all bidding on the same end-customer businesses. By using BigMachines to streamline these processes, NetMotion was also able to completely integrate the functions with their Salesforce CRM system.

“We needed to speed up the quote and proposal generation process for our sales reps who were outgrowing our homegrown Excel-based tools and needed new capabilities, easier maintenance and more flexibility,” said Scott Bailey, Sales Operations Manager, NetMotion. “As the market for mobile productivity offerings continues to expand, BigMachines’ tools will help us close more quickly on existing opportunities and shorten our sales cycle.”

Godard Abel, CEO of BigMachines, said, “We are pleased that NetMotion has joined the list of satisfied customers and is already seeing improvements in their sales processes.”

BigMachines will present the newest features of its on-demand software at BigIdeas 2008, the company’s annual customer and industry forum that will be held October 5-7, 2008 in Chicago. Industry experts, BigMachines customers, and business partners gather at BigIdeas to discuss innovative business strategies and best practices in guided selling and product configuration to increase revenues, improve sales efficiency, and reduce costs.
