Challenges

The company faced the need to strengthen the effectiveness of sales teams and automate those business processes that usually take a lot of time and manual procedures. The most crucial pain point was that sales reps wasted a lot of time to create error-free quotes with individual discounts for regular and new VIP clients.
This is how the requirement for the Twistellar development team was formulated:
Implement a cloud-based sales software solution that will accelerate and automate the process of quotes generation in Sales Cloud.
The Sculptor team audited the customer's Salesforce CRM and suggested to implement Sculptor CPQ as a flexible sales tool that will allow creating and admin automated pricing rules. The main focus was dedicated to the following accounts’ criteria of the customer's clients:
Industry
Location
Revenue size

Solution

The implementation of CPQ allowed the customer to completely resolve their business pains.
All issues of the discount calculations have been fixed by creating automated pricing rules for different scenarios and types of clients. Now, quotes that match certain account criteria (industry/location/revenue size) are processed automatically with price rules management and discounts are applied automatically.
Automation of discount calculations
Sales reps admitted that the process of creating and managing price rules is user-friendly and intuitive and it doesn't require coding skills or usage of complicated algorythms.
Our team helped the customer with quote templates customization to get rid of awkward excel and powerpoint proposal templates. Now the cusomers's quoting process is smooth and streamlined with a set of customized quote templates created in Sculptor CPQ.
To sum up, Sculptor CPQ implementation provided the Customer with the following achievements:
