What is Configure Price Quote (CPQ)?

CPQ is an industry term for software applications that enable your business to package product and services into structured portfolios for sales. Enabling rapid, accurate Configuration of both simple and complex products. Allowing for efficient Pricing, quality Quoting leading to structured order processing and handover to service delivery to Cash. CPQ is as key to your business as CRM (Client Relationship Management) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, in fact CPQ is the glue between them.

 

Gartner estimates that market revenue for configure, price and quote software was approximately $878 million in 2016, with growth of 20% per year expected through 2020

 

CPQ is now mainstream due to exponential expansion of technology enablers, higher rate of product releases and ever-increasing expectations. Well packaged product & quality process leading to improved people enablement is essential for great business performance.
