Clyde Pumps Ltd., Has Selected Intelliquip's Intelligent Front-EndSM to Streamline the Front-end Sales Processes for Newly Formed CLYDEUNION.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Intelliquip's Intelligent Front-End(SM) (IFE) was selected to provide the global web sales platform for CLYDEUNION, the pump division of Clyde Blowers, which was rebranded after Clyde Blower's recent acquisition of Textron's Fluid & Power Division, including Union Pump. As a result of this, other strategic acquisitions, and joint ventures, Clyde has rapidly become a global player in the engineered to order pump industry. Clyde has opted to deploy the full, comprehensive solution provided by Intelliquip's Intelligent Front-End(SM) (IFE), which includes the Intelliquip Selector, Intelliquip Configurator, and Intelliquip Quote Manager. Intelliquip's technology provides a proven, robust platform for the digitization of Clyde's complex and diverse product lines and the subsequent deployment of performance and configuration data to all sales channels via the web.

While developing its long-term growth strategy, Clyde evaluated many options for front-end automation, including the enhancement of its own internally developed selection and configuration tool. Sales & Marketing Director for CLYDEUNION, Stephen Gilbey said, "As we evaluated various software vendors, Intelliquip consistently distinguished itself by its proven ability to handle both our complex products and our global operations. Ultimately, we decided that Intelliquip's Intelligent Front-End(SM) would provide us with the best sales platform to support our future growth."

"Intelliquip's web enabled applications allow users to more rapidly and accurately select, configure, price and quote equipment. By empowering salespersons, application engineers, distributors, agents, specifiers, and end users through Intelliquip's software, CLYDEUNION will see immediate and long-term benefits," said Dave Brockway, President of Intelliquip. "All users want better and faster access to data. Clyde recognized this and has made a major commitment to implementing a world class system. We are excited to play a part in their success."
