For semiconductor and component manufacturers, order-to-cash management is a core business function. These manufacturers need to create inquiries and quotations successfully, negotiate and manage global and local contracts, acquire and enter orders, configure and price products, check product availability, and track, manage, and bill orders.

• Negotiate and manage global and local contracts
• Automate your quotation, contract, order processing, and billing activities
