Centralio’s co-founders, Jean-Sébastien Duguay and Pierre-André Roy, are proud to officially unveil the solution developed by their team to help SMEs simplify complex sales .

Centralio, an innovative tech startup, has designed a platform with smart configuration and interactive quotes features to help SMEs improve efficiency and generate more revenue.

After an intensive development period, the company has gained the trust of established Quebec-based businesses in recent months, including Motrec International (manufacturer of industrial electric vehicles), MRG Canada (distributor of tractors and agricultural equipment), La Vieille Garde (maker of wine cellars and wine cabinets), and Ripplecove Hotel & Spa (accommodation and events).

Centralio incorporates several decision-support and automation features while remaining closely aligned with the business objectives of Quebec SMEs, making digital transformation a tangible reality.

In its simplest form, we want to help our clients grow, whether it’s by improving efficiency or generating more sales. Ideally, both at the same time,” says Jean-Sébastien Duguay, co-founder and president of Centralio.

Addressing the Challenges Faced by SMEs in a Challenging Economic Context

In a challenging economic environment and an ongoing labour shortage, SMEs are searching for concrete solutions to help them achieve more with their existing teams and systems.

In this regard, Centralio aims to address time losses and costly errors that occur throughout the sales process, from initial bid submission to final order placement.

Preparing an accurate bid for SMEs managing complex product and service offerings can take several days and require significant resources.

This process proves costly and labour-intensive for businesses such as manufacturers developing specialized products with multiple configurations or hotels offering customized packages with numerous options.

Contributing to the Growth of Quebec Businesses

Centralio solves this problem by offering a modern and intuitive platform that facilitates decision-making, centralizes sales data, eliminates repetitive manual tasks, and increases productivity.

Overwhelmed sales teams can quickly send personalized bids that meet pricing and operational constraints through a user-friendly interface and integration with existing CRM and ERP systems.

This represents a significant advancement for many companies still relying on traditional methods such as pen and paper to manage this process.

Fast Onboarding and ROI

Previously available on a limited basis, Centralio now opens access to its sales platform, including key features that modernize the entire sales cycle: product configurator (CPQ), interactive quotes, partner relationship management (PRM), and product information management (PIM).

Centralio also unveils its approach to implementing the solution in few weeks and with a limited budget. This approach allows clients to quickly access the solution’s benefits while requiring minimal effort from the client’s team.

Key Partnerships

Based in the dynamic and innovation-driven Estrie region, Centralio takes this opportunity to highlight the involvement of key partners in its development, including Magog Technopole, MRC Memphrémagog, BDC (Banque de développement du Canada), Banque Nationale, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, Cain Lamarre, ACET (Accélérateur de création d’entreprises technologiques) and MAIN (Mouvement des accélérateurs d’innovation du Québec).
