Key challenges we addressed
Developing Better CPQ Processes
CPQ processes depended on a team of Excel experts performing manual operations prone to errors — typos, incorrect data, and quotes that did not meet business rules criteria such as excessive discounts.
Improving Response Time
Only a small group of employees had access to CPQ in Excel. Waiting time for quotes increased as customer inquiries arrived, affecting overall response time.
CPQ Automation
The company needed CPQ automation to negotiate effectively with customers. The lack of an efficient and timely response process was affecting the length and performance of the sales cycle.
Automated Salesforce CPQ Platform
Salesforce CPQ now manages complex product quotations with ease — creating and managing product bundles, kits, and options while ensuring accurate quotes based on specific requirements. Robust pricing capabilities allow management of complex pricing rules and discounts.
Think Beyond configured the CPQ tool to be smart and agile enough to support Virtana’s sales team with the right prices for the right product at the right time, transforming a complex CPQ process into a self-service tool with little IT involvement needed.
Complex Product Configuration
Salesforce CPQ enables creating and managing product bundles, kits, and options, ensuring customers receive accurate quotes based on their specific requirements with robust pricing capabilities.
Multiple Factors on Single Platform
Virtana’s complex quote generation based on defined price books, including bundling and business rules, was simplified. Management can set pricing rules based on product type, customer segment, or geographical location — all on one shared platform.
Sprint-by-Sprint Development
Think Beyond created a plan of development stages and worked in a sprint-by-sprint mode. A deep understanding of the client’s challenges combined with effective workshop methods helped reach Virtana’s CPQ goals.
KPI Tracking & Data-Driven Decisions
Decision-makers can now track KPIs such as quote-to-close ratio, sales velocity, and product performance to gain insights into sales processes and make data-driven decisions.
