We’re allowing anyone to create their business documents as these simple, beautiful web pages,” COO Tanner had previously said . “It boggles my mind that sales and marketing reps still send PDFs to potential customers,” Airtree Ventures Partner John Henderson said in a written statement. “The traditional business document suite is antiquated, clunky and lacking basic functionality, which should be table stakes in the age of the cloud and is even more imperative in a remote working economy,” he added. “Forget sales rep taking hours to manually create ugly and uninspiring proposals and attaching them to an email as a PDF,” Henderson wrote in AirTree’s blog post announcing the funding. “Instead imagine a visually compelling, customized web page created directly from your CRM with a dynamic quote block the customer can adjust to suit their needs and budget as they accept, e-sign and pay on any device. Once signed, Qwilr can mark the deal as ‘closed won’ in your CRM and trigger an onboarding workflow for your account management team,” Henderson added. According to the company, Qwilr’s customer base hails from a diverse range of industries, some of which – such as retail, hospitality, and events – have been hit hard by the pandemic. Others, such as software companies, professional service providers, and consultancies, are currently experiencing increasing demand. Although April has been a slow month for Qwilr, Tanner is confident that demand for its solutions will only grow as remote work continues to grow in prevalence. “Paper and pdf, which were already old and clunky and silly, have just been exposed as more so.” said Tanner. “Almost everyone’s pipeline is looking lighter than usual – there are less new deals coming in. Which makes it all the more important that you work really hard to win those deals if you can. It can’t just be some ugly pdf,” he added. “People are still buying and investing in software, and right now there’s always space for tools that make your team faster and more efficient,” Tanner said.
