Where quotes currently cost time and orders.
In many companies, quotes are still built from Excel or Word files that have grown over the years.
- Calculation is manual work: prices, volume discounts, and special terms are re-entered for every quote
- Response times of days instead of minutes, while customers often inquire with several providers at once
- Sources of error: wrong prices, outdated terms, inconsistent layout, forgotten line items
- No central overview of open quotes, follow-up dates, or close rate
- Standard CPQ software is too expensive and too complex to implement for many mid-sized companies
