A fully cloud-based and scalable manufacturing sales platform

In Mind Cloud is best known for launching ‘Manufacturing X’ in 2018, a sales platform that combines CRM and Configure Price Quote software (CPQ) capacities with manufacturing expertise and intelligent insights to transform the profitability of manufacturing businesses worldwide.

“What has always excited me about CRM is its power to not only bring customer experiences to a new level, but the potential it opens up to transform entire businesses,” explained Sood.

“In the context of Industry 4.0, it empowers manufacturers to adapt their business models to new and challenging environments and ultimately creates success on both ends. I am extremely excited to join In Mind Cloud on their journey as a thriving independent SaaS provider and to contribute to their product innovation, aggressive business growth and customer success.”
