CPQ SOFTWARE
• Date: May 2021 •
Why does your business call for a configure price quote (CPQ) solution?
With consistent business growth, staying customer-centric becomes a real struggle. Keeping in mind the importance of a personalized approach, sales reps nudge prospects with special offers, discounts, and various subscription models. As the client base is extending, the problem of data management comes to the fore. Data quality inconsistencies may look like that:
- Sales reps don't have direct access to up-to-the-minute prices
- Customer data is collected in different sources
- Time-consuming complicated calculations take place too often
As a result, the sales cycle becomes longer. Sales reps spend time on calculations instead of taking care of their customers, which leads to lost sales opportunities. Moreover, to err is human, so mistakes in final quotes are common.
CPQ software is built to simplify quoting operations and solve the mentioned issues. Its goal is to help your team close deals fast with easy-to-use tools for subscription and contract management and delivering accurate automated quotes.
The market abounds with CPQ solutions. Typically, they are overloaded with functionality that is rarely used in real-life situations. Most of the solutions are hard to configure and require additional training or a bunch of CPQ experts by your side. Settings are hidden all over the system, and unexpected calculations may take place. Last but not least, you never get all the needed information on one screen. Instead, you have to switch between numerous screens and remember your last change to make the next one right.
That's why we came up with our own CPQ solution.
