When using a homegrown configurator, the sales team is likely to make mistakes and set inconsistent pricing due to the complex product information being scattered across many tools. CPQ software provides up-to-date information across all channels, enabling the most accurate pricing for customers and ultimately maximizing revenue. 98% of consumers feel that they have refrained from making a purchase due to incomplete or incorrect quotes. According to research, surprisingly, 70% of companies report that excessive discounts due to lack of checks are a common problem.

It is necessary to maintain consistent product information across all sales channels, including direct sales, distributors, retailers, and e-commerce. Using disparate tools for each in-house developed operation leads to scattered knowledge and siloing, making it impossible to provide accurate quotes across all channels, which becomes a significant headache. Sellers who create accurate and complete quotes first have at least a 60% higher chance of winning the deal. Furthermore, without a rational and efficient way to update product information in one place, it becomes a hindrance to business expansion, preventing the exploration of new channels and the ability to capitalize on business opportunities. With CPQ, all tools and resources can be centrally managed, allowing the sales team to access the right information at the most critical times.
