BigMachines can provide your sales channels the ability to “self-service” by finding product information, tapping into your product expertise, and generating quotes and orders online. Distributors, re-sellers, 3rd party sales representatives, or end user customers can access the Lean Front-End solution via a web browser using our sales channel portal functionality. This enables your channel partners and customers to research and specify products online, while capturing and forwarding qualified sales lead information.

Any required review or approval steps for these channel partner leads or orders can also be managed via electronic workflow.

Sales channel portal capabilities include:

• Registration and log-in process for web users linked to corporate website
• Ability to restrict product access and pricing information by user type
• Ability for web users to select and configure products and generate datasheets and specs
• Ability to generate inquires and route them to appropriate sales staff or channel partners for follow-up
• Ability to convert lead information into a quote seamlessly with no data re-entry
• Ability to find aftermarket parts and order directly online
