Intelliquip's browser-based software incorporates the concept of Software as a Service (SaaS), which is a means to deploy a subscription-based, hosted service that users access via the internet, without the need to install software on a user's computer. The SaaS platform for Intelliquip’s Intelligent Front-End allows it's clients to deploy selection and configuration solutions for their equipment directly to their internal sales force and their sales channels.
