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.

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.

Our team loves it

The longer they're in it, the more they love it. If we ever told the team we were taking Canals away, I think we'd have mutiny on our hands. It has very quickly become a need-to-have tool in their tool belt—and not a lot of technology has that kind of impact.

We couldn't be happier with Canals

The product and team have delivered on everything they've said, and it just keeps getting better. Whenever we've requested any kind of customization, they've listened carefully to our needs and implemented solutions in days. You guys make stuff happen.

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.
