Merkato Revolutionizes Meijer Handling Solutions

Revolutionizing Forklift Fork Distribution

Meijer Handling Solutions is the world’s market leader in forks for hydraulic forklift trucks, known as KOOI-REACHFORKS®. These innovative products are supplied through an international distribution network. Until recently, almost all quotation requests were answered by the internal sales department.

Merkato is used to make the international distribution network work more independently. For example, based on knowledge and information from the head office in St. Jacobiparochie, dealers can generate quotes and process orders. Merkato composes the correct configuration based on customer specifications, calculates the sales price, monitors the margin and generates the necessary documents.

Meijer Handling Solutions’ Testimonial on Merkato

Meijer Handling Solutions is a satisfied user of Merkato, the sales / product configurator from Quootz. This is used, for example, to configure the KOOI®-REACHFORKS. By using this tool, the office staff can compile a complete quotation quickly and easily without mistakes. The user meeting in Apeldoorn was a fascinating informative meeting and we greatly applaud the new invitations in areas such as the user interface and template editing.

Merkato helps its users to optimize their sales process by capturing all (product specific) business rules. These rules are then used to generate and distribute quotes and other product-related documents around your organization. Merkato is user-friendly and easy to customise. The software can be used both web-based as well as a client-side application. This offers unprecedented flexibility and a very short time-to-quote.
