Axonom and CMTC Team Up to Offer Comprehensive Technology and Services for Southern California’s Manufacturers
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 28, 2014 -- Axonom, a global provider of cloud-based product configuration and portal software, today announces its partnership with California Manufacturing Technology Consulting® (CMTC) to deliver Powertrak software and training services to Southern California’s manufacturers from Fresno to San Diego.
The Axonom and CMTC program offers small and medium-size manufacturers (SMMs) with comprehensive implementation services, Microsoft Dynamics CRM or Salesforce.com, and world-class Powertrak software such as sales quoting and ordering, interactive 2D/3D visual product configurations, customer/partner portals, and sales forecasting. In addition, customers receive specialized training services fostering operational improvement and workforce development, leading to job retention and company growth.
“This program is a win-win-win for all parties involved,” said Mike Belongie, COO at Axonom. “The customer receives cost savings from the partnership while receiving premier technology products from Axonom and full training services from CMTC.”
Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company, the industry’s largest manufacturer of refrigerated trailers and a leading manufacturer of dry freight vans, flatbeds, and Tautliner® curtain-sided trailers, through CMTC selected Axonom’s Powertrak Configure-Price-Quote software to power its sales quoting processes.
“Finding a company with a sales configurator and channel partner portal available as one unified application, with seamless integration into Microsoft Dynamics CRM were the driving forces in the selection process,” said Lisa Drake, director of information technology at Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company. “It will enhance our ability to respond and secure business.”
CMTC is a non-profit consulting firm and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) designated Manufacturing Extension Partnership Center (MEP) in southern California. One of CMTC’s goals is to identify and transfer technologies that improve competitiveness, innovation, and value specifically for SMMs.
