Transforming Sales Management with Sales Accelerator
Industry: Automotive Distribution (Electrical and Heavy-Duty Solutions)
Challenge: Streamlining sales processes for a large, mobile sales team and improving efficiency.
Solution Provider: SQiBLE
Background
A leading Australian distributor specialising in heavy-duty automotive electrical products faced challenges in its sales operations. With a large, nationwide sales team, the company struggled with outdated workflows, manual data entry, and a lack of real-time access to essential data. The company’s product range includes high-demand items such as rotating electrical parts, lighting, electronics, and custom solutions, and it distributes major brands across a broad customer network.
Challenges

- Lack of Real-Time Data Access: Sales staff were unable to access live pricing, product availability, and customer insights on the road, impacting their ability to close sales and manage customer relationships effectively.
