A prominent electronics retailer that frequently deals with bulk product inquiries, comparisons, and custom quotations. The client sought a more efficient, scalable, and professional approach to handling sales quotations, aiming to minimize manual labor and enhance customer experience through intelligent sales automation.

This sales quotation automation enhanced speed, accuracy, and scalability, positioning the client for sustained growth.
