Business Development & Application Engineering
rate supports business development teams through a complete sales cycle by providing lead generation and custom engineered automation solutions.
Our hybrid strategy combines a network of industry partners with customized engineered solutions to provide a complete, thorough, and competitive sales cycle.
By merging the applications engineering process with experienced sales staff, rate streamlines the sales process and optimizes efficiency by providing an all-in-one outlet.
Unlike typical “rep” models, our services can include development of concepts, scope, proposals, and system pricing.
Seamless Representation
rate is structured to be an extension of your existing front-end team. We want to be your partner, not your vendor. Our goal is to free up your leadership’s front-end bandwidth and reduce overhead commonly held with sales and applications engineering by combining the two entities.
Cost Reduction
Our outsourcing model can relieve approximately 17-20% of the costs of an equivalent direct-hire sales engineer. Our services eliminate the need to carry health insurance, PTO, and other similar overhead costs of a comparable on-boarded employee. In addition, multiple rate team members will participate simultaneously in compound activity and resources.
Industry Connections and Partnerships
With decades of combined experience comes a vast network of clients, customers, and vendor partnerships. We work with our clients to leverage this into a competitive advantage.
Accelerated Time Frame
Ramp-up time is significantly reduced compared to typical on-boarding. Our vast experience in custom automated machinery, manufacturing and machine safety assures a fast-track to your company’s goals. Decades of experience in custom machine building have given rate an understanding of all parts of this unique industry and will help us quickly ramp into your company’s strengths and values.
Consulting
Looking for unbiased, professional automation guidance? rate offers engineered consulting services to help you make educated decisions prior to investing in capital equipment. Whether you’re new to automation or investigating large, multi-facility programs, rate will work with your team to listen to your objectives, understand current processes, then develop a deliverable plan which may include conceptual system layouts, fair-market budgetary pricing, deliverable estimates, or total cost of ownership (TCOO).
From there, rate can assist with support for internally performed projects or help select an integration partner.
