Even closer to your customers with Smart Sales

Cold calling is expensive for the sales team and the success takes time. The optimized Smart Sales solution enables you to quickly identify potentially new customers directly at the PARTcommunity download portal. Instead of working through endless Excel lists, the CAD downloads are clearly displayed and can thus be systematically evaluated. Version 7 also makes it possible that only the download information of the customers and prospects in the sales employee's designated sales region are displayed. In combination with the current GPS position, prospective customers can be located in the immediate surroundings. This makes possible, e.g.: an optimal route planning for the sales representitive.

With the new PARTcommunity Version 7, simplified deep links are possible as long as the order number of a component has already been classified. Simplified deep links can be created with the two pieces of information "catalog name" and "order number of the component", where customers and prospects get directly to the desired component or the respective assembly.

In Version 7 a new assistant is available for users of the 3D CAD download portal. By clicking onto "Help" in the header, the user is clarified about all the important functions of the PARTcommunity download portal via the info box.
