AquaSHIELD Streamlined Their Custom Quote Generation with SpreadsheetWeb
The Challenge
AquaSHIELD, a manufacturer specializing in ASSE-1060 enclosures, faced the intricate task of accommodating diverse customer demands. Balancing 36 standard-size units with an increasing need for customized sizes, AquaSHIELD aimed to simplify their quoting process. In response, AquaSHIELD embarked on a search for a technology solution that could harmonize intricate calculations, discern standard from custom sizes, and seamlessly integrate results into their online framework.
"Some years ago, we developed an Excel calculator to assess the costs of our common units and apply a growth formula for custom unit pricing. While effective internally, we sought a web-based solution to offer secure login access for customers to obtain custom quotes.".
The Solution
AquaSHIELD discovered the perfect fix for their custom quote challenge in SpreadsheetWeb. While they ruled out custom coding due to cost and complexity, SpreadsheetWeb emerged as an accessible alternative. Transitioning their Excel calculator to the website, they recognized SpreadsheetWeb's unique fit for their needs.
"I tried two different tools before SpreadsheetWeb. The first one we were using was not intelligent enough to allow us to use our formulas on an embedded application on our website. And for the second tool we tried, we were struggling with getting the results to be e-mailed to us once a customer put in a custom-size enclosure they wanted. While Googling the best way to the best solution to embed an Excel calculator on a website, I ran into SpreadsheetWeb and wanted to give it a try," Says Walt about his journey of finding SpreadsheetWeb.".
The Results
Transitioning AquaSHIELD's Excel calculator to a web application with SpreadsheetWeb was quick and straightforward, supported by responsive customer service. In just two days, the calculator was seamlessly integrated into the website, allowing customers to generate instant customized quotes. This efficiency boost streamlined customer interactions, enhancing decision-making and setting AquaSHIELD apart in the industry.
"I sent one e-mail and got a response in about two minutes; I sent my spreadsheet to SpreadsheetWeb team, and about an hour later, they sent me an example of how it would work and how it was done. Within a couple of days of finding SpreadsheetWeb, we embedded the calculator on our website and it worked perfectly. But the big thing for us is we're the only one in our industry that has this so it allows us to be on top of our competition, allowing our customers to have an easier time getting quotes from us ."
