Managing Director Maikel Kling talks about his experiences with appero quote.
Challenge / Objective
Lofthouse Catering GmbH used various independent systems that were not connected via an interface for preparing quotations, internal order processing and customer communication.
The introduction of the Salesforce Sales Cloud quickly improved internal order processing and customer communication.

"With Bricks, you can insert an entire block into a quote again and again using drag & drop. This saves a lot of time and avoids errors."
Maikel KlingManaging Director
"For many events, you need the same modules over and over again, such as drinks."

Task
However, the process of preparing quotations was not covered by this and continued to run as before, including all the stumbling blocks. In particular, the time required to transmit price changes in the quotation range to the sales staff was enormous. Information got lost between the various tools or was incorrect. This not only reduced the efficiency of the processes, but also frustrated the employees in the long run.
Solution
Lofthouse Catering GmbH decided to introduce the appero quote solution, which is fully integrated into Salesforce, for the following reasons:
- With the help of the "bricks", quotes with extensive content can also be created in a very short time. Individual static resources, which are often required for events, can be integrated quickly.
- The Salesforce product integration enables centralized price management. Prices can be adjusted directly and centrally, even if changes are made at short notice. In addition, seasonal dishes can be activated or deactivated. The data is retained and can be easily reused at any time if required.
"We have been using appero quote for about 8 weeks and it has already become an integral part of our daily business. Due to the individuality of our services and corresponding quotations, it was very difficult to find a suitable quotation solution. Thanks to Drag&Drop and Bricks, we now create our quotes 3-4 times faster on average. Thank you appero!"
