What is CPQ Billing?

First of all, what is CPQ? CPQ, or Configure, Price, Quote application, is utilized by the sales team to quickly and accurately generate quotes for incoming orders. Likewise, CPQ solutions often work in tandem with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms. As a result, an ideal CPQ solution streamlines the entire contracting process, allowing sales reps to:

• Create multiple quotes quickly and efficiently
• Track prospect and customer information within your CRM
• Tailor contracts and sales quotes to individual customers
• Make better-informed decisions around special pricing, discounts, and terms
• Eliminate user error by drawing from reliable data sources to auto-populate fields

Too often, the sales process is halted by a sales person’s inability to deliver accurate quotes. Most organizations don’t want to speed up the process if it means giving incorrect prices or unapproved discounts. Similarly, companies don’t want to promise customers configurations that are unavailable. Hence, the review process becomes a bottleneck for closing sales. CPQ increases sales staff efficiency, leaving for more time to focus on customers. Additionally, CPQ billing takes human error out of the equation. Because, it delivers accurate, dependable quotes every time.

Improved Accuracy

You’re human, and humans make mistakes. Your business, on the other hand, is not human. As a result, your customers might be willing to forgive a minor error on your part. But, they won’t be so quick to overlook pricing errors made by your organization. A survey conducted by Ovum found that 82% of consumers stop doing business with a brand after only one bad customer experience.

How Can CPQ Billing Benefit Your Business?

First, pricing data and logic flow from the CRM platform to CPQ billing. Then, the price quoted to a customer automatically becomes the price that’s applied to an order and billed to a customer. So, with CPQ billing, there’s no need to transfer data manually. Additionally, users don’t need to build a custom integration that ultimately impedes the frictionless transfer of data among systems. Therefore, let’s explore the key benefits of using Accounting Seed’s CPQ billing connection:

1. Bills can be generated reliably and without errors
