Canals is awesome

From the smoothest implementation to the best customer service, Canals has exceeded our expectations at every level.  We appreciate you guys, you guys are so responsive and we cannot stop saying good things about Canals!

Mele Gonzales

Assistant Controller

The support and communication during our implementation of Canals have been absolutely unmatched

We’ve worked through other implementations before, and none have come close to this level of responsiveness, clarity, and consistent follow-through. The open communication and regular updates made the entire process smooth and confidence-building. You are truly an outstanding team.

We're not having to learn it, it learned us

Literally for a specific customer, you use Canals once or twice and it starts to learn who is asking for the product. Now there's a lot of things I don't even have to fill out anymore because it automatically knows what to do. It's helping Kendall, the owner associates, do their job and in a more timely fashion. It really will help you be more proactive for your customers.

Canals has been working amazing

They're real experts in Eclipse and it makes a difference. For example, we just fed a 1,000 line cut order all with parallel data into Eclipse. Saved our salesman about 2 days of work.

Canals is actually driving more sales by improving our hit rate

Right now, 57% of Canals transactions turn into orders, when our average is closer to 20%. Customer satisfaction goes up because you can get to quotes you wouldn’t otherwise, and sales will grow because customers realize that when they come to you, you’re more responsive because you have a tool like Canals. You’ll see not only top-line growth, but also bottom-line growth because of the efficiencies it creates.

Regional Operations Manager

Honestly, it’s one of the smoothest transitions I’ve ever been part of

One of our automation guys had sent over a project with 100+ line items in a spreadsheet. I ran it through Canals and had it back in 20 minutes. He called me and said, ‘How is that even possible?’ That would’ve taken a CSR group all day before.
