Challenges

The company’s unique sales model involved multi-company deals (e.g., parent organizations with multiple subsidiaries or franchises). This complexity created several issues:

• Cumbersome quoting process: Sales reps needed more than 500 clicks to generate quotes for multi-entity customers.
• Legacy CPQ technical debt: An in-house Aura-based CPQ solution was developer-dependent, making even minor updates time-consuming.
• Complex workflows: Multi-entity deals required numerous quotes, orders, and contracts, slowing the sales cycle.
• Scalability concerns: The sales process lacked agility and could not efficiently support business growth.

Solution

After detailed discovery and multiple proof of concepts, we recommended a Salesforce CPQ implementation designed for flexibility, automation, and scalability.

• Automated multi-entity quoting: Generated a master quote and multiple child quotes with just a few clicks.
• Custom enhancements with Lightning Web Components (LWC) to replace legacy Aura components.
• Opportunity-level visibility into all quotes, orders, and contracts for full transparency.
• Simplified contract management with seamless amendments at the contract level.
• Integration with leading tools including Conga Composer, Zuora, DocuSign, FieldTrip, and Agile Accelerator.
• Self-sufficient platform empowering sales reps with less reliance on developers.

Business Impact

The Salesforce CPQ transformation delivered measurable results:

500+ clicks reduced to just a few, dramatically improving sales rep efficiency.
