Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to generate sales and marketing information for power distribution system equipment and associated services responsive to customer inquiries and/or inquiries from a cooperating/participating party. In an illustrative implementation, a sales engine processes data representative of power distribution system equipment and services market information, design information, facilities capacity, planning, and manufacturing information to generate sales and marketing information for power distribution system equipment and services. Additionally, the sales engine cooperates with a data store to store and retrieves relevant data needed to generate the sales and marketing information. Data may be communicated between the sales engine and data store through a communications network, which may also be used to communicate sales and marketing data to/from participating customers.
