Every spec from the plant floor, straight into the quote

In manufacturing sales, your sales engineers walk the plant with production, sit down with purchasing and collect requirements at the trade fair. Demodesk records each conversation, puts specs, quantities and timelines into the CRM, and gives the back office and application engineering what they need for the quote. Nobody calls the customer back to ask what they said.

A day with Demodesk

A day in technical sales: from plant visit to quote

Demodesk records every conversation, on every channel, and works on each one: summary, follow-up, CRM update, coaching. Here is where it makes the biggest difference on a typical day.

Technical sales

  1. Video

    Video call with the customer’s project team

    Purchasing, production and quality on one Teams call. The Notetaker records and tells the speakers apart.

    Key highlight

    AI Assistant sums up open technical questions per stakeholder.

  2. On-site

    Plant visit with the production manager

    In the production office: cycle times, tolerances, material, target quantities.

    Key highlight

    AI Assistant transcribes with your custom vocabulary, so your key product names come out spelled right.

  3. In the car

    Back in the car, the requirements are in the CRM

    After the upload, the requirements are on the opportunity: specs, quantities, delivery window, decision makers.

    Key highlight

    AI CRM Concierge suggests the fields, the engineer approves, and application engineering starts the quote.

  4. Voice note

    Voice note in the car park

    A two-minute voice note in the car park, while it is still fresh.

    Key highlight

    AI CRM Concierge files the note on the same account, next to the visit.

  5. Phone call

    Phone call with an export customer

    A distributor in Spain. With the Demodesk Recorder on the phone, both sides are captured and transcribed in Spanish, one of 98 languages.

    Key highlight

    AI Assistant drafts the follow-up.

Who it helps

One conversation, three teams

  • Structured meeting summary written by the Demodesk AI Assistant

    For the sales engineer

    Stay in the technical discussion

    • Record plant visits, meetings and trade-fair conversations from your phone.
    • Custom vocabulary keeps your key product names spelled right.
    • The follow-up with the agreed specs is drafted before you reach the car park.
  • Asking the Demodesk AI Analyst a question across all sales conversations

    For the sales manager

    Every open project, without a status meeting

    • Every conversation on every account in one record, across a sales cycle of many months.
    • Ask the AI Analyst which projects stall at purchasing and why.
    • Coach on recordings, not on stories told after the fact.
  • Requirements field in the CRM updated by the AI CRM Concierge

    For the back office and application engineering

    Quote from the source

    • Requirements, quantities and timelines in the CRM, approved by the engineer.
    • Listen to the exact passage instead of calling the customer back.
    • Nothing gets lost when a project changes hands.
