SAN FRANCISCO, April 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte Digital and Apttus have developed a pre-configured solution, Med Device Connect (MDC), for the medical device industry, which is facing many challenges including, new regulations and reforms, new care delivery models, and new decision-making paradigms. The MDC solution is designed to provide the necessary tools to address these challenges and empower sales teams to deliver customer-specific configured products in short time frames and a more effective manner.
The MDC solution addresses these challenges by:
- Defining pre-configured or flexible deal kits (bundles)
- Automating pricing approvals calculated based on margin
- Providing contract compliance reports and real-time notifications to the sales and support teams
- Showing real-time incentives for specific deals.
Additionally, the standard quoting and contracting solution, along with improved contract performance, helps ensure compliant agreements with not just customers, but also suppliers, distribution partners and health care providers and organizations.
Additional benefits of the MDC solution can include real-time integration to show contract pricing, quote-to-order conversion with the native ERP solution, and top-tier mobile capabilities. Built on the Salesforce App Cloud, the MDC solution provides easy access to authorized contract information. The solution also provides revenue-management capability to confirm that accruals for incentives and payments are properly managed and renewals are handled on a timely basis. These are enhancements to the ordering experience.
"Our Medical Device clients are seeking an agile, flexible and scalable platform to improve sales revenue and customer experience, which also addresses challenges, including new regulations," said Tina Phillips, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, and Deloitte Digital's Apttus practice leader. "The Med Device Connect solution is designed to drive revenue growth, improve coordination across different business groups to sell more to the same account, reduce operating cost and improve employee productivity."
