Distribution giant Ingram Micro has strengthened its online offering by adding a new quotation tool to help resellers speed up the ordering process.
According to the firm, the new functionality offers a range of additional features including allowing resellers to include Ingram and non-Ingram Micro products in the quote, include their own services, product recommendations, shipment costs and define the mark up they want on the quote.
Jonathan Newman, senior director of enterprise web and EMEA eSolutions, said: “It will now be more convenient and effective for our resellers to create and manage quotes for their end-user customers.

“Resellers will have the ability to look at the quote preview before sending it to their customers, without any reference to Ingram Micro. In the future they will be able to upload their own company logo and further personalise their quote. They will also be warned when a quote they have sent to customers is about to expire.
"This new tool extends the support we provide for our resellers throughout their sales process from demand identification through to delivery. It definitely adds value for resellers who will benefit from the functionalities enhanced of our eBusiness offering.”
Newman added: “These latest enhancements fit with Ingram Micro’s strategy to focus on enhancing our eBusiness capabilities, and I am confident that this will strengthen our web offering to resellers throughout our EMEA countries.”
