Your quoting challenges

Compelling and accurate quotes are essential to win B2B deals. For every customer inquiry or requirement change, quote revisions need to be presented fast, to keep your prospect from turning to your competitors. If offering and pricing are inaccurate or inconsistent across quote revisions, customer’s trust will be lost. ​

As your products become more individualized and undergo changes, manual quoting becomes cumbersome, slow and prone to errors. How many times did your sales reps copy old quotes to new customers, including faulty outdated product features and prices? How many times did your prospect walk away because your sales engineering department was slow to generate a solution and cost estimate?​

Leave the era of manual quoting behind with Tacton CPQ’s automated quoting solutions.

How Tacton CPQ Quote, Document and Order Generation helps manufacturing companies

ZigZag

Data-driven documents means accuracy ​

Any data created by the configuration, pricing or CPQ platform, can be leveraged in the quote content to ensure the best results. Since that data has been validated with Tacton CPQ’s configure-to-order constraints and pricing rules, quote accuracy will be safeguarded. Your quotes will always contain your latest and greatest product options and prices, in addition to the correct legal terms. With data-driven documents you will sell with certainty and quote with confidence. First time right – every time.

ZigZag

Fast quoting without technical support​

With one-click generation, your sales reps can create accurate quotes any time in the sales process – without the involvement of technical support. Minutes after your customer’s inquiry or requirement change, she will have a new quote in her inbox, effectively warding off competitors from your deal.

Effortless quoting means more quotes per sales rep, increasing revenue for your company.

ZigZag

Rich in detail – early in the sales process

Since Tacton configuration always presents a full technical solution, the offering in the quote is detailed and rich, down to customer requirements and sales Bill-of-material items. With full price adjustments and discounts, customer net prices can be shown early in the sales process, avoiding surprises down the road. Rich quote data means more informed investment decisions by the customer – earlier in the deal. This will close more deals faster.

With Tacton CPQ options you can further enrich your quotes with product visualizations and CAD drawings.

ZigZag

Branding and document layout

Since Tacton CPQ document templates are built in Microsoft Office-programs you can leverage all the branding and layout capabilities they offer, including fonts, styling, graphics, tables, document structure, table of contents and more. First impressions last – make sure you are on brand in every quote.

ZigZag

Use it for more than quotes

Leverage CPQ’s transactional data for other salessupporting document types, such as tech specs, operation manuals, contracts, safety instructions, pricing reports and more. With support for Word, Excel and PDFs, only your imagination sets the limits on how to use our document solutions.

ZigZag

Flexible to win more deals

Although Tacton CPQ strengthens a consistent quoting process in your sales organization, it also allows sales reps to adjust quotes according to the situation at hand. For instance, sales reps can decide on what quote chapters to include or exclude for any given revision. Or you can open up for a sales rep to add their own material into the quote.

ZigZag

Share quotes and collaborate with customer​

Stop getting lost in endless email threads and use Tacton Proposal Collaboration to share quote revisions with customers – including 2D and 3D drawings. With quote collaboration, all the deals’ quote revisions are collected in one place for your customer’s procurement team, whose members can then login, respond, comment and even upload their own documents as input in the deal. Stay structured and make the buying process simpler for your customer with Tacton Proposal Collaboration.

All sales channels supported

Leverage the power of Tacton CPQ Quote and Document Generation in all sales channels, including Direct Sales, Resellers and Customer self-service. This will radically increase your quoting volumes and boost your order influx. If you have resellers in your CPQ, each reseller can have its own quote structure and branding.

ZigZag

Project sales collaboration

Large deals are a team effort. With powerful CPQ collaboration tools, including comments, concurrent editing, dashboards and notifications, your sales projects will run efficient and smooth.

Order Decomposition, Segmentation and Split Runs

Order decomposition transforms a customer’s order into smaller, manageable tasks to ensure smooth order fulfillment and delivery. Suborders can for instance be spread out over time to mitigate risk, increase customer satisfaction or optimize production resources. Sometimes an order needs to be decomposed since there are multiple ERPs involved for different parts of the same order, e.g. product and services. Tacton CPQ is able to decompose orders in various ways to support your order processes, before and during the order fulfillment process.
