Quote creation is often considered to be a time consuming process. However, if you have access to VARStreet aggregated product catalog, creating a sales quote can become a breeze. The catalog is specifically designed to ease your quoting process. To be more specific, the catalog can save your time in accessing the inventory and product pricing available from multiple distributors.

As we all know when a customer requests for a quote, we check which distributor that we are connected to, is offering the requested products. This itself is a tedious job as one has to get inventory and pricing information from multiple distributors. You have to either access their websites or call them personally in order to get the desired information for quote creation. Also there is no guarantee that the information is up-to-date, which is crucial to create accurate quotes. You wish if all this product related information from multiple distributors was available at one place. Well, this is exactly what VARStreet aggregated catalog does.
Here are the reasons why you should choose VARStreet aggregated catalog to boost your sales quoting process:
Information Available at One Place
As the name suggests, the catalog combines products coming from all major IT distributors to form one catalog. So if you are connected to 5 distributors, your aggregated catalog will contain products coming from 5 distributors. So from one place you can access product related data from multiple distributors.

Well-Structured Information
The aggregated catalog combines data from multiple distributors and stores it in a well-structured format. This is what makes information from aggregated catalog easily accessible. To be more precise, you get to see in one single view a range of information including inventory and product pricing from multiple distributors. This allows you to compare products coming from different distributors. You can then finally choose one that helps you to get maximum margin.

Access Product Data the Way you Want
VARStreet aggregated catalog gives you the flexibility to access product information using different parameters such as category, mfr part # and distributors SKU. In case you are unaware of any of these parameters related to the product that you are looking for, you can simply type the keyword (say for instance Dell laptop (the actual product itself)) to know its pricing and related information coming from different distributors.

Catalog Updated Daily
What is use of the catalog if its content is not up-to-date. For instance, if the catalog is displaying old price which is far less than the current price of the product, it can result in a major loss for the reseller. In order to prevent such errors from occurring altogether, the VARStreet aggregated catalog is updated on a daily basis. However, your aggregated catalog is updated in real time, if it is connected to major distributors like Ingram Micro, TechData, Synnex, and D&H.
