CLIENT SUCCESS STORY
Mercury Marine Selling More Through An Improved Dealer Experience
Mercury Marine, a division of Brunswick Corporation, is an industry-leading developer and manufacturer of marine propulsion systems and marine parts and accessories. Mercury Marine wanted to simplify product selection and streamline the order process for marine Dealers and OEM Boat Builders by moving from a 700-page catalog to Oracle CPQ Cloud. Mercury Marine partnered with Accelalpha to implement Oracle CPQ Cloud within the company’s Dealer and OEM portal.
When the business was asked why the company selected Accelalpha for the project, Rob Hackbarth, the Controls and Rigging Director from Mercury Marine said, “We partnered with Accelalpha given their strength and track record of success implementing Oracle CPQ Cloud solutions.” The application has enabled thousands of dealers to quickly configure Mercury products, has reduced returns, and increased accessory attachment rates.
