Apttus CPQ

Apttus CPQ is an online configure price quote software which is integrated directly inside sales force and should save you time developing custom quotes by automating and streamlining the product generation process. In the interest of transparency I've just gone through their demo to learn more though I've been doing a lot of research into similar business software so I feel I can add value to my perspective which may help. The idea is similar to electronic signature software online which I've used a lot although it integrates ecommerce and a digital contract signing service from which to close deals. The main benefit is the savings not only in time it takes to write a contract, email it, sign in, scan it, fax it, print it and so on but it saves you altogether from printing costs, printer maintenance, scanner costs and maintenance and should lower overall human error. It's based in the cloud so you should have access on any device that's connected to the internet from laptops to computers and smartphones or tablets which is great because it allows you to close sales anywhere you are at the moment. It's a very robust software with many configuration options so you can create an efficient workflow to meet your company sales pipeline requirements. I like the admin access allow you to grant role based permission to sales reps which helps keep your team focused while the manager has an overall picture. And that recurring quotes are possible from your account so once they're initially setup you're good to go each month.

I've read the application can take time to make calculations and that they found their to be a significant learning curve due to the flexibility and configuration options possible. Although I've also noted that their may be limited customization for the actual shopping cart feature. This software would be a significant time and revenue investment so be sure you've done your research and can utilize as much of the software features it is offers out of the box in order to get to market quickest.

In theory, Apptus should help you be more productive with a much quicker time to quote with less human error which creates more time to focus on closing deals. Your sales reps can create professional proposals using multiple currencies which is one of the strongest features allowing you to do paperless business across international borders just as easily as if it were in your own location. You can also create discounts and promotions easily inside your account and verify whether they need further approval, or not automatically before sending the quote. An approvals process can be implemented by management to sign off on discount when required. Overall, you able to learn the best quote, setup your pricing, email the client, sign the contract with an integrated electronic signature service to close the deal all right from inside your centralized dashboard. That's a lot value on top of the fact it's built inside SalesForce which has all of your contacts, leads and deals organized and easy to sync in your Apttus CPQ app.

This software is native to Salesforce. This software allows me to maintain and customize features that I’m already familiar. It can also allow and restrict the choices for Sales reps and implement approval processes for discount and other changes. This software is also user friendly and easy to use. The question I ask to support is answered in the same day.

This software is easy to use, that is its con because of its easiness some feature is lacking and limited. When I’m creating a proposal, I can’t put all the necessary products that can lead to lost revenue because of issues of my customer satisfaction. The view in navigate is quite difficult because the slider to move of the screen is stuck right at the bottom.

Apttus is good and reliable when it used at its best. The tools and features is also easy to use, just in the templates is somewhat difficult for me to use. Can create also professional look documentation, streamline quoting process, and can send data as needed in Salesforce. So I say this is a 4star for me.

By using the Apttus CPQ, you can easily manage the process involved in Enterprise Commitment Management. You can also get fast service from the customer support so you won’t get stuck of dealing with a particular issue. It also works well with Salesforce and can be of a great help in producing quotes.

The cart view of the software is quite difficult to navigate. You also need to spend time learning how to create the templates which can be a time-consuming process. There are times that the application will take time to load that can be annoying if you will experience it often.

Overall, if you want to improve the productivity of your team, you can make use of this application to boost the amount of work finished from day to day. This also alleviates the effort that you have to exert when making quotes for your customers without using complex tools or deal with irrelevant processes.

Apttus CPQ being native to salesforce allowed us to leverage skills we already had in house. The product and pricing methodologies have allowed us to push the adminsitration of those processes closer to end users. This has given us tremendous flexibility and responsiveness to changing markets. Conceptually it's a fantastic idea and much easier that creating excel proposals.

After creating the quote you have to click reprice and then finalize and the larger the quote the longer it takes to download which can consume a lot time. A key challenge is in ensuring the customer data fed in to the system is correct. This could be an internal issue though . The rigidity in making modifications to quotes and the time it takes to input any pricing differences..also the integration with Salesforce is quirky too.

Document requirements in detail and test heavily. Some of the administrative functions are not very easy to grasp and there are many pieces that have to be remembered. I wish that Apttus had an Admin 101 certification and an Admin 201 certification like Salesforce does. Match your business processes to out of the box functionality of Apttus CPQ.
