ChannelOnline™: ROI Calculator

ChannelOnline ROI Calculator ChannelOnline maximizes sales productivity and customer service levels, while reinforcing profitable business decisions. The solution streamlines and enhances every aspect of the sales cycle - enabling personalized customer self-service; well-informed salespeople; and profitable pricing and sourcing decisions. A more efficient sales process means sales can take on additional deals; more responsive salespeople deliver higher win rates; consistent customer service leads to more repeat business; and optimal pricing and sourcing brings higher profits.

Understanding specific economic and operational benefits is critical to determine the best plan for your company to design and implement a new solution. Our advanced ChannelOnline ROI Calculator provides clear and accurate data and illustrates how your company can benefit from automating your complete sales cycle. See how ChannelOnline's on-demand work environment enables small- and medium-sized resellers to match or surpass the level of sales productivity and customer service provided by their much larger competitors – resulting in improved customer satisfaction, maximized margins and increased revenues for your business.

The ChannelOnline ROI Calculator captures data about your sales, purchasing, e-commerce and IT environment. Results are based upon data collected from real ChannelOnline customers, and project how ChannelOnline may impact your business over a three year period. The results help you determine the costs and benefits of deploying a ChannelOnline solution.

The primary value drivers are in four areas:

  • Reduced quote management costs
  • Reduced customer inquiry handling costs
  • Increased competitive win rate
  • Negotiating better prices from vendors

We encourage you to read the executive white paper Automating the Complete Sales Cycle to Facilitate the Quote-to-Order Process: Evaluating the ROI of ChannelOnline™ to better understand the economic benefits of ChannelOnline. The paper is written by Callan Consulting, an independent business modeling consulting firm, who interviewed a broad range of CNET Channel customers and gathered data from several secondary sources to create the ChannelOnline ROI model. As this white paper describes key ROI benefits, it can be read either as a stand-alone document or in conjunction with the ROI model.
