Benefits of pursuing CPQ realism

Configure, price, quote software (CPQ) was developed to streamline the quote generation process while maintaining accuracy and remaining compliant with internal standards. Within the last decade, CPQ has cemented itself as a valuable solution within the Software-as-a-Solution (SaaS) ecosystem for its role in expediting the entire lead-to-cash sales cycle. Today, the market has been virtually saturated by a few large players able to leverage their existing platforms to deliver CPQ as an add-on to their existing customer relationship management (CRM) products. These solutions were developed to maximize market share by addressing customers’ fundamental needs. While a basic CPQ is sufficient for most commercial products, a segment of CPQ vendors aim to deliver specialized solutions to address the complex needs of customers in overlooked verticals.
