Interactive Quoting

Speed Response Times & Protect Margins

Complex pricing rules and a high volume of pricing exceptions hinder a manufacturer's ability to respond quickly to quote requests. Without a means to enforce global pricing policies and rules, companies struggle with ensuring pricing consistency across channels and regions. Slow turnaround times and pricing inconsistency lead to lost business and margin erosion.

Interactive Quoting

Interactive Quoting provides your extended sales organization with the tools to easily manage even the most complex quote requests, enabling your company to reduce quote cycle time and increase order conversion, while enforcing policies to protect prices and optimize margins.

Customer and channel-specific responses to quote-for-bid, quote-for-buy, budgetary quotes and forward pricing quotes are automated according to your global policies, delivering pricing consistency and protecting transactional margin. Multi-level quoting capabilities include pricing by catalog, customer, contract or registration. And, because the system links data from design inception through shipments, contract and step pricing can be easily implemented and enforced.

Exceptions, including target and competitive quotes, are easily managed through an automated escalation process that alerts key decisions makers and provides historical and situational information.
