integration capabilities that enable the integration of a broad array of applications like ERP,
CRM, eProcurement applications, accounting systems, etc. It ensures a seamless, automated
transfer of data between systems, reduces data duplication, and boosts productivity.

configurations, pricing, and other features, a quoting system for small business automates the

enables you to view the most recent pricing data and correctly price your products while
accounting for all the factors. If your company operates outside of your home country's
borders, the software can also handle price lists and multiple currencies.

Processing orders for configurable products is a difficult task for IT product VARs. Customers
today want IT products that are tailored to their specific requirements. They also want them
right away. Customers have a wide range of options for configuring the product designs

Moving around with the customers is necessary for the sales representatives. The desktop-
based application might make it difficult to turn those leads into sales. As long as you have an
