In almost every trading and installation company, there is one person who knows everything: which products fit together, what the installation costs, which suppliers have the best prices. When that person is sick, on holiday, or resigns, the quote process comes to a halt.

## Excel works — until it hurts

### Vidensbæreren er væk

Nøglepersonen er syg, på ferie eller siger op. Ingen kan lave tilbud. Ordrer går tabt.

### Ny sælger starter

Det tager 3+ måneder at oplære. Al viden sidder i hovedet på kollegaen, ikke i et system.

### Beregningsfejl

En fejl i Excel-arket taber et tilbud eller giver negativ margin — opdaget for sent.

### Vækst

Virksomheden vokser og skal have flere sælgere til at lave tilbud. Excel skalerer ikke.

## Configo digitalizes the knowledge of the knowledge bearer

Not to replace the person — but to enable the whole team to create accurate quotes.

-   The rules are in the system, not in one person’s head
-   The whole team can create accurate quotes
-   Knowledge is preserved during illness, vacation, and resignation

Configo makes the whole team as good as your best one — it doesn't replace anyone.

## Frequently asked questions

### What happens if your key person is sick for two weeks?

With knowledge locked in Excel: 3+ months. With Configo, the rules are in the system, so new salespeople can create accurate quotes quickly.
