AMTdirect vs. Experlogix CPQ (with e-Con CPQ)

I think for medium to large companies AMTDirect would be invaluable to have the "whole" picture of all properties at your finger tips. For smaller companies with 10 or fewer properties maybe not as "necessary".

The sales and service process is very it’s best suited. Limited towards other home custom entities.

• AMTDirect allows for customization to your specific needs in a snapshot. One area I appreciate is that I am able to change most labels/field names to coincide with our specific naming conventions.
• AMTDirect has wonderful support. They respond very quickly and I always feel that I am important and matter to them.
• AMTDirect is always interested in what I would like to see added to be even more useful to my needs. They listen to me and strive to make those changes.

• It stores the products which the company has and from sending of quotes to delivery is taken care of by Salesforce through automation.
• It has standard objects such as a price book which handles the price of the product and partners will be able to view the price of the product and see the quantity available for them and orders can be placed as per the price book.
• Partner's data will be stored in the CPQ and as per the partner discount and volume discounts will be automatically provided at the final billing which is done through automation
• Product features object will have the information of the product which business sells who's the parent is product and can give a high-level view to the customer what the product is all about. Making purchasing easy for the partner
• Quotes and subscriptions will be managed by the CRM itself and using the automation rules the product order will be captured and product delivery will be maintained

• Initially when I started using AMTDirect it was a little overwhelming because it is a lot of detail. At times I would like to see it a little more simplified. However, I will say they have over the past 6 years done that exactly. It is becoming more simplified to use, but with the same important outcomes.
• The software is much faster than it was when I initially started using it. Some of that might be resolved if there were some drag and drop type situations more I think.

• Designer tool, it could still be friendlier.
• UI look designing is not that easy.

From my experience, AMTDirect does have a bit of a learning curve, but once you pass that curve the system has details and information that are vital to the decision process of lease negotiations, lease & facilities management as well as project management. I've said it a thousand times, AMTDirect is the only reason I am able to manage 50+ retail spaces by myself with regards to all of the above decisions.

I have not listened to any of the on-line video or webinars, but I have used the "help" guides and they are very easy to understand and for the most part that is how I have taught myself to use features I have never utilized before.

The standard objects provided by Salesforce are much more apt than SAP. Out-of-the-box functionality provided by Salesforce is much better than any other CRM. If we want to implement some custom workaround we can use Apex scripting which is much similar to java and is very easy for the developers to grab and implement the Login. There is more drag and drop functionality provided by Salesforce CPQ than any other CRM. Overall implementation is easy than SAP.

• AMTDirect has positively impacted our company for the simple fact that 1 person is able to handle 54 properties with regards to lease management, maintenance/repair and projects for those locations. We were at the point of needing to hire additional help, but AMTDirect has made it possible to delay hiring additional employees until we grow a little more.
• AMTDirect has made it possible to be able for me to work from any where and not in an office with a bunch of files, because the information is at my fingertips. I am able to travel to our stores and still be able to take care of issues and answer important and at times timely questions.

• More than 10 years ensuring quality quotes from the sales reps.
• Easy copying.
• Quick provides an good overview.
