Work / Case Knauf Finland
Knauf aims to provide the best customer experience in the construction and design industry. The company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of building materials, developing, producing, and marketing a wide range of solutions. The company’s solutions are reliable, tested, certified, safe, and environmentally friendly.
As the world’s largest gypsum board manufacturer, Knauf deals with numerous customers and products, requiring customer-specific pricing. Previously, contract prices were managed through Excel files, which sales reps manually updated and emailed to customers. This process was time-consuming, prone to errors, and impacted profit margins.
To modernize, Knauf centralized product information into a single system using the e21 Business platform, moving all product management and catalogs online, eliminating the need for Excel files. This streamlined pricing and improved efficiency.
The next step in digitalizing sales was the implementation of a contract pricing tool based on sales needs. This web-based tool pulls product data directly from the e21 Business platform and customer information from the ERP system. With this data, it is easy and quick for sales representatives to create customer-specific pricing directly in the tool. The representative can manage prices for different product categories or even individual products using the tool:
After the pricing tool improved sales processes, Knauf developed a web-based quotation tool as part of its sales platform. With a user-friendly interface, sales reps can easily manage pricing and quotations.
The tool allows reps to set contract durations, customer-specific prices, freight costs, and more. One key feature is the ability to set future price changes and send price lists in advance, helping customers plan for upcoming adjustments.
“Works incredibly well! It's a pure pleasure to use. I was at it last night until half past eleven, and the work continues here in the office. You shouldn't develop such addictive tools!” — Heikki Ilo, Knauf Finland, Sales Manager

Asiakkaalle tarjotut palvelut omasta tuotekannasta hintoineen, tilaushistoriasta ja tallennetuista ostoskoreista on nopeuttanut asiointia kanssamme ja samalla asiakaspalvelun puhelinjonot ovat lyhentyneet.
Suurin hyöty yhteistyöstä e21:n kanssa on ollut asiakaspalvelun tason paraneminen.
Verkkokaupan avulla palvelemme entistä paremmin niin sopimusasiakkaita kuin tärkeitä jälleenmyyjiäkin.
Tämä sivusto on optimoitu uusimmille selaimille ja puhelimille. Emme voi taata, että kaikki ominaisuudet toimivat vanhemmilla selaimilla ja puhelimilla.
