  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
