Client Background

A global B2B industrial manufacturing company headquartered in Germany, supplying custom-engineered components and machinery to enterprise clients across 40+ countries. The company maintained a distributed sales force and a large product portfolio with complex pricing structures, local compliance variations, and custom configuration requirements.

‍

Business Challenge

The company faced mounting pressure to accelerate sales proposal turnaround and improve consistency across global regions. Key bottlenecks included:

• Manual proposal generation with region-specific product/pricing logic
• Disjointed collaboration between sales, engineering, legal, and finance during deal configuration
• High error rate in pricing and terms due to outdated templates and local overrides
• Slow approvals often delaying deals by several days

Sales teams lacked a centralized, intelligent system to generate, validate, and send proposals quickly — while ensuring accuracy and compliance across all regions.

‍

Consequences of the Challenge

• Proposal turnaround time averaged 5–7 business days, resulting in lost momentum and deal drop-offs
• Inconsistent pricing and branding, hurting credibility and trust
• Missed revenue opportunities, particularly in high-velocity, competitive markets
• Heavy manual load on internal teams (sales engineers, finance, legal), limiting scalability
• Low proposal visibility for senior stakeholders — no traceable approval pipeline

‍

Approach & Solution Mindset

AccuCore Solutions approached this challenge as a mission-critical automation and AI design problem, not just a document generation task.

The goal was to engineer a secure, intelligent proposal automation platform that could:

• Interpret opportunity data in the CRM
• Generate region-compliant proposals automatically
• Route them through configurable approval workflows
• Deliver final documents to clients in record time

The system needed to integrate seamlessly with existing tools (Salesforce, SAP, local CRMs) while being scalable across regions and business units.
