Long-term cooperation in the development of sales digitalization

Lifting equipment manufacturer Konecranes uses Wapice’s Summium® CPQ sales configurator to support sales digitalization. This solution is harnessed for the global sales of lifting equipment and used in the daily configuration and pricing of equipment.

Konecranes is a world-leading group of Lifting Businesses serving a broad range of customers, including manufacturing and process industries, shipyards, ports and terminals. The enterprise provides its customers with operationally efficient lifting solutions and maintenance services for all crane brands. In 2019, the group’s net sales totalled EUR 3.33 billion. Including MHE-Demag, the group employs approximately 18,000 people in 50 countries.

Konecranes leverages the Summium® CPQ solution to sell configurable lifting equipment and lightweight crane systems that can be adapted to customer environments. There are several product families, which imposes additional requirements on the tool used.

Wapice develops the system and provides user support, while Konecranes models its products for the system. Wapice’s solution has been praised for its ease of use, and new employees, for example, can quickly get up to speed and participate in productive modelling work. “For Wapice, customer success is critical, and that is why we want to offer a solution that meets customer needs and will continue to be developed in the future,” explains Sami Kyllönen, Lead Consultant CPQ at Wapice.
