Configure Price Quote Solution

Challenge
Our client is based in the US who is an emerging provider of sales configuration solutions that are tightly integrated with CRM, ERP, SAP, and other e-commerce systems. This robust integration of databases ensures the emergence of a fully automated Quote-to-Order solution. However, the normal quote and order process is very time-consuming and complicated, consuming more than an hour of the salesperson's time. Thus, there was a need to create a sales solution that can automate the quoting process which takes less than 10 minutes to prepare a quote.
TatvaSoft recommended a .NET-based enterprise solution that integrates Salesforce, Dynamics CRM, and simplified the quoting and price agreement process. The solution delivered a wide range of objectives and some of the prime considerations of our CPQ solution are listed below
- To integrate CPQ (Configure Price Quote) with the Salesforce and Dynamics CRM
- To develop an intelligent search solution and search tags
- Establish effective communication channels with secure real-time access to business information without time or space confines
