IBM CPQ: Most Sophisticated Tool for Creating Price Lists, Coupons and Discount Rules for Products & Services.
For 4+ years now in my organization, we have been using IBM CPQ to simplify the selling of virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. Therefore, selection, configuration, quoting, and ordering event services are automated by this tool.
- Create a central location for clients and sellers to configure products and services
- Automate the entire process of selling
- Sending sales orders to customers saves time
- Help focus more on valuable processes rather than spend time on low-value processes
- To automate selling processes on the go, I feel like the vendor should implement an on-premise platform, mainly for tablets and mobile phones.

At AT&T, we rely on IBM CPQ in sales abs marketing department to simplify selling process in real-time. IBM CPQ isn’t used in all departments. Mainly, it is utilized in Sales & marketing departments to enhance selling procedures like coupons and price lists management and in Corporate department where the senior Directors sign the the documents produced in the latter department.
- Firstly, IBM CPQ makes it easy for customers to make rapid products purchases through configuration, pricing and ordering processes.
- Centralizing selling procedure in one platform by communicating products pricing to clients.
- Improving ROI by attracting customers when discounts are introduced on products as well as offering coupons.
- I don’t have much that I feel should be improved on IBM CPQ, but the vendor should offer more documentation on backup and data recovery.

Build and Test Configuration Models, Quotes and Price Products & Services with IBM CPQ
There’s nothing hectic like undertaking the selling procedures of complex products and services. With IBM CPQ, it has been easy to configure, quote and price our banking services at Huntington. This software is being utilized across all departments in our organization.
- Automating configuration, pricing and quotation of banking services.
- Via web self-service on IBM CPQ, customers and the sales team are able to streamline sales processes by getting guidance whenever needed.
- Customers are able to view price lists before making any purchase so as to make informed decisions.
- Unfortunately, IBM CPQ does not have on-premises applications to use while not connected to the internet. This is no more a challenge since we have a robust WIFI connection in our organization premises.
IBM CPQ has simplified the selling procedure by automating configuration, pricing and quoting bundles, products and services. I don’t have a clue if it is being used company wide, but we use it in our organization to keep in touch with customers.
- IBM CPQ has helped us to guide clients through the entire process of configuration, quoting, and ordering process.
- This service allows us to communicate the pricing to our esteemed clients via sending price lists.
- Creating quotes and determining the right products to have discounts is another great aspect about IBM CPQ.
- Unfortunately, [in my opinion] IBM CPQ is not well documented and hardly offers regular webinars.

Develop Price Lists, Quotes, Discounts and Coupons with IBM CPQ
IBM CPQ is the backbone tool for pricing, configuration and quotation in our organization. I am not pretty sure it is being used in all units, but it is currently being utilized heavily in IT and procurement departments.
- By developing, tracking, managing and negotiating the process of sales quotation, it helps in ROI generation.
- Connecting customers with product catalogs and price lists.
- Disaster recovery and data backup
- IBM CPQ only has web-based solution and lacks iOS and Android applications.
- It has a robust backend integration capability, but it tends to be extremely hectic to collaborate with some SaaS tools.

Managing Price Lists and Catalogs at Breeze with IBM CPQ
Conducting the process of selling our organization services has been simplified by IBM CPQ. Automation of business procedures such as pricing, quoting, and configuration is what we conduct with this tool on specific business units.
- Configuring pricing processes by discussing and amending pricing in a central location.
- Negotiating sales quotes that help generate high ROI.
- Helping clients go through buying procedures by configuring, pricing, and quoting purchase orders.
- I slightly dislike that IBM CPQ lacks an available mobile application.
- Unavailability of enough documentation, tutorials, and white papers for reference.
This is being used by our sales department and call center and helps to increase selling time and the accuracy of quotes and proposals.
- Provides associated quotes through the life cycle of the opportunity, until the opportunity is either won or lost.
- You can store all the information you require during the quoting process, including customer details, information about products and the adjustment made to the price of products, and the payment terms and shipment terms that will be used in the order if the quote is converted to an order.
- There were widespread frustrations throughout sales and call center with CPQ originally. But really the reason why CPQ tools are complex is because CPQ processes are complex things to implement.
- Users today want all the flexibility with none of the complexity. It is one of the biggest challenges in my day-to-day.
