Custom CPQ Solution- Need of The Hour for Manufacturing Firms

Personalizing Salesforce CPQ to maximize ROI for Manufacturing Industries

B2B customers are expecting the ease of use and intuitiveness of B2C shopping experiences. But the sales cycle of a B2B customer is long and complex and is diametrically different from the sales journey of a B2C buyer. For instance, buying hydraulic equipment or a fleet of trucks is significantly more complicated and expensive than buying a handbag.

Manufacturers are looking for supporting technologies to enable customers to place orders and complete purchases digitally. An enterprise configure-price-quote solution (CPQ) streamlines the buying experience and helps buyers to receive swift price quotes.

With CPQ, quoting becomes easier than ever. It not just makes quoting faster but improves its accuracy by eliminating human errors. This, in turn, increases the efficiency of your “order-to-quote” process. It also helps sales teams to close more deals in less time. CPQ makes configuring products an easy task.

Customizing CPQ for better results

Horizontal and generic CPQ solutions may not work for customers who have very intricate specifications. It is essential to understand industry-specific parameters to offer the best product recommendations based on COS.
