Case Study: Damen Shipyards Group streamlines quotations and product information with Sofon

In the time before Sofon, we worked with quotations of varying lengths

Damen Shipyards Group, a global shipbuilder with 35 subsidiaries and 1.3 billion euro in revenue, needed a better way to manage quotations for its High Speed Craft division. Before using Sofon, the team relied on copying standard quotations into new proposals, which led to errors, outdated product information, and a time-consuming manual maintenance process.

With Sofon, Damen now keeps product data in one place and automatically updates all related documents, making it easier to maintain standards and advise customers. Sofon also enables fast generation of both short and detailed quotations, while its change list gives managers quick insight into deviations from the standard. As a result, quotations are more accurate and better organized, product information is easier to maintain, and 80% of Damen’s products are now in Sofon.
