Nanonets reduces enterprise quote turnaround from 2.4 days to under an hour

The problem

The enterprise sales team manually processed over 40,000 quotes per year, spending hours researching comparable deals in spreadsheets, with multiple approval handoffs creating bottlenecks. Without clear discount guidelines, reps defaulted to maximum discounts causing margin erosion, and a 2.4-day average turnaround allowed competitors to respond faster and win deals.
