Worldwide software provider Cincom Systems (www.cincom.com/manufacturing) announces the first release of its new selling and business acquisition software, Cincom AcquireTM (www.cincom.com/acquire). The Cincom Acquire Solution Suite is the only end-to-end selling and business acquisition solution for companies that sell complex products and services. It is designed to fill the gaps in traditional CRM- and ERP-based systems strategies such as guided selling, channel and distributor collaboration, sales and product configuration, quotation and proposal management, project and bid management, and contract and order management.

Collaborating for Growth

Built on the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server architecture, a leading enterprise collaboration platform, Cincom Acquire supports collaborative selling processes. Our customers’ product management, engineering and marketing divisions can now align information and strategies, and move that information closer to the sales cycle. All the applications and processes that Cincom Acquire delivers are accessible through well-known Microsoft desktop applications with which customers and end users are already familiar.

Cincom Acquire integrates with “out-of-the-box” Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It also easily integrates with other Microsoft Dynamics ERP systems.

Cincom Acquire’s core components have already assisted manufacturers selling complex engineer-to-order or configure-to-order products successfully streamline their sales, design, and proposal processes by delivering critical product and sales knowledge to the point of sale, while significantly reducing “quote to cash” time. Cincom has helped manufacturers reduce proposal generation time from five days to 15 minutes, decrease time to close a sale by 80 percent, and cut lead times from 14 weeks to six weeks.

Cincom Acquire is currently nominated for Microsoft’s Office Business Application of the Year.

Today’s announcement was made at Microsoft Convergence, Microsoft’s premier Microsoft Dynamics event. For more information about Cincom’s products and solutions for complex manufacturers, visit www.cincom.com/manufacturing.
