Single dashboard enables better planning, prioritization, and deal optimization; Automatic BOM uploads eliminate cumbersome manual entry, facilitate integrated direct and distributor deal analysis
Netformx®, a leader in automation tools for IT solution and managed service providers, announced that Ingram Micro has provided an API to automatically upload Tier-2 bills of materials (BOMs) into the Netformx Pipeline Insight Tool (PIT). This integration provides ready access to (indirect) distributor and (direct) Cisco deal analysis and insights for Cisco Resellers.
Ingram Micro and Netformx worked together to provide partners a complete sales pipeline view in a single dashboard that enables better planning, prioritization, and deal optimization, including a unique VIP calculation capability that aggregates on a deal-by-deal basis. With the integration of Ingram Micro’s API, uploaded distributor deals become part of the regular PIT workflow, instead of manual BOM uploads that are managed separately.
Netformx tools provide automation, optimization, and analytics throughout the sales, renewals, and managed services lifecycle to shield users from the complexity of multiple products, services, and vendor programs and incentives. Eliminating manual drudgery enables users to better focus on end-customers, driving more successful, profitable deals and enhancing the level of service they can provide.
