What does your distributor actually receive when you send them an enquiry? 📃 If it's little more than a name, an email address and a brief description of what the customer wants, your distributor still has a lot of work to do before they can quote. They may need to contact the customer again, clarify the specification and work out which product configuration is actually required. Corengyn changes what gets handed over. The customer can configure their requirement through your website or digital platform first, so when the opportunity reaches your distributor, much of the information needed to move it forward has already been captured. That means less repetition for your customer and a much more useful starting point for your distributor. See how Corengyn connects configuration with your distributor sales process: corengyn.co.uk/ hashtag#Distribution hashtag#CustomerExperience hashtag#CPQ hashtag#B2BManufacturing

Twenty years of watching manufacturers wrestle with the same quoting and lead problems went into this. Good to finally see it out in the world. #cpq #saas linkedin.com/showcase/coreng…

Did you guys know I offered a 40% discount today for my discord and not ONE single person signed up? End of August price of the discord is going to $1000 USD one time fee. You REALLY don't want in at $300 USD lol?
Replying to @Comedyorwat
ANYONE who comments on this post prior to 4:20 pm has an option You can pay $300 USD, right now today, to get into my discord instead of the $500 USD and you'll no longer be entered to win Or you can do nothing and hope you'll get randomly drawn out of the 2 we will pick TG

I see everyone on Design Twitter postign awersome work, and we do some great wortk here. But ours is often commercial, industrial work - not always award winning. Sometimes, clients want industrial, fit for purpose design.

Share your most simplest of work. Not for engagement, just for the authentic honesty of what our job is sometimes.

Was only a 45 minute job, but with 20 years of experience. is it pretty? No. Did it serve the brief perfectly? Yes.

Here's thew thing though. Even when the job is simple, it still needs someone with knowledge and skill. Take these labels for example – we had to consider: 1) Size (obvious) 2) Bleed 3) Spot Colours 4) Overprint settings for cutter guide 5) Manual kerning of oversized type

The pressure must be immense to constantly push out Design Twitter content. The reality is, we all have to do some churn, even for the most prestigious clients.

So many projects we're working on, but CoreConfig is going to be something very special – productising 20 years of software knowledge for clients into our own CPQ e-commerce platform for manufacturers.

While everyone else is using SF Pro (often in breach of Apple's licensing restrictions) or Inter, we're using Museo Rounded – a typeface that combines exceptional clarity with a warm, approachable character, built on a confident geometric foundation. Ideal for dashboard design.

Obsessing – over colour palette, pixels, proportion, layout spacing, building our own software, launching very soon… #cpq #portalsoftware #dashboard
