How Bromma used CPQ and Google Cloud analytics to optimize product management, reduce lead times, and improve supplier relationships.

Bromma’s usage of Tacton CPQ has transformed its sales and product configuration processes, enabling the company to make data-driven decisions that improve efficiency, product management, and customer satisfaction.

The challenge

Bromma faced significant challenges managing its complex product portfolio, which required extensive customization to meet diverse customer needs. Their sales process, which involved manual data handling and inefficient legacy systems, lacked the agility needed to leverage real-time data, impacting the company’s ability to optimize pricing, product options, and margins.

The solution

Initially, the implementation covered a limited scope but evolved into a full-scale Tacton CPQ implementation by 2018. By 2023, Bromma took their digital transformation further by upgrading their CPQ system and integrating it with Salesforce and Google Cloud’s analytics platform. This enabled deeper data analysis and more informed, proactive decision-making across the business.
