MUNICH, Sept. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In Mind Cloud, provider of a leading, cloud-based manufacturing sales platform, today announced the completion of a EUR 16 million Series B financing round, led by Digital+ Partners. Existing investors also contributed to the round.
In Mind Cloud was founded in 2012 to help make sales more successful and profitable for manufacturing companies. From the very beginning, the company's multinational team of software enthusiasts and industry experts has been driving innovation for manufacturing clients around the globe.
In 2018 In Mind Cloud launched its next-generation 'Manufacturing X' sales platform. This unique offering combines the power of CRM and CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) with real-time manufacturing data, workflows and business intelligence. In Mind Cloud's customers have been able to use the 'Manufacturing X' platform to rethink their business models, achieving a step-change in top-line growth whilst also reducing production error rates and processing times by a factor of 3.
Today In Mind Cloud is serving a global blue-chip customer base across multiple manufacturing verticals, including Benteler in Germany, Mindray Medical in China and Netafim in Israel.
The total transaction volume on the 'Manufacturing X' platform has already exceeded USD 100 million per week, highlighting how In Mind Cloud's platform is emerging as the industry standard backbone for manufacturing CRM. To support this ambitious objective, In Mind Cloud recently appointed Karan Sood, a seasoned software industry veteran and CRM thought leader, as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead the next phase of expanding In Mind Cloud's CRM strategy for manufacturing industries.
With the Series B funding, In Mind Cloud is now looking to capitalize on its strong growth momentum and build up its sales & marketing organization across China, Germany and the US, whilst also continuing to make significant investments in global customer support and accelerating the company's ambitious technology roadmap.
Dr. Christian Cuske, CEO of In Mind Cloud, states: "There is a pressing need to have future ready CRM platforms that match manufacturing vertical needs. 'Manufacturing X' is designed to address the very core manufacturing challenges around time to market, customer experience with lot sizes of one, and building new, digital business models.
