100% Trusted, No Ads, No Bias, Quality FirstAnnouncing the Top Rated Configure Price Quote Tools for 2018
Today, we awarded the 2018 TrustRadius Top Rated badges for Configure Price Quote Tools. The TrustRadius Top Rated awards are unique in that they are an unbiased reflection of customer sentiment, based solely on user satisfaction scores. They are not influenced by analyst opinion, the vendor’s company size, popularity, site traffic, or status as a TrustRadius customer.
Configure Price Quote (CPQ) tools are used by sales teams to generate product quotes and manage product configuration during the proposal process. CPQ tools institutionalize sales knowledge and product constraints, and can help determine pricing in complicated negotiations. By semi-automating quotes, they save time for salespeople, who can then get accurate quotes to their customers more quickly. Integrations (to CRM, contract management, accounting, or product information systems, for example) are an important element in achieving these benefits. Feedback from other sales organizations on how well integrations support automation can be very helpful for buyers who are evaluating whether a product will help with efficiency, productivity, and consistency at their own organization.
Here are the winners:
