Cendyn eProposal vs. Sofon Proposal Organizer

In my opinion, the most valuable characteristic of SPO is that by answering simple questions a very complex product can be configured; therefore the scope of delivery is defined very well. In addition, SPO has great flexibility to manage prices and costs. However, SPO is configurator of parts that allows incorporating basic design rules for their selection. SPO is not a optimised for developing complicated engineering design rules.

• Top Down approach
• Drive sales representatives to their goal
• Clear final calculation

• SQL servers may lead to unexpect failures
• Tables created in SPO could have better interface with the user
• Management of user licences could be easier

Unfortunately I have no possibility to renew or not renew SPO so it is difficult to answer to this question

The previous product we used was developed by ourselves so my experience is very limited. I can say that having a software like SPO we can configure the product without any programming experience and this makes things faster and better. Moreover, I can say that MS Office compatibility is a strong point.

• Reduce quotation time at the proposal office,
• better definition and more organise project scope at project management level
• centralisation of knoweldeg: one problem, one solution
