Why Manufacturing Companies Need Infor CPQ
1. Faster Sales Cycles
The traditional quoting process can be slow, especially when dealing with complex configurations. Infor CPQ speeds up the process by automating pricing calculations and approvals, allowing sales teams to generate quotes in minutes instead of days.
2. Eliminates Errors and Reduces Rework
Manual product configuration often leads to pricing discrepancies, incorrect specifications, and miscommunication between sales and production. Infor CPQ ensures that all configured products meet manufacturing constraints, eliminating costly errors and rework.
3. Enhances Customer Experience
Modern buyers expect self-service options and real-time customization. With Infor CPQ’s interactive visualization tools, customers can see their configured products before purchasing, leading to greater confidence and higher satisfaction.
4. Increases Sales Efficiency
With guided selling tools and automated pricing, your sales team can focus on closing deals instead of spending time on complex configurations and approvals. Infor CPQ also ensures that upselling and cross-selling opportunities are not missed.
5. Seamless Integration with Manufacturing Operations
Infor CPQ integrates with Infor ERP and other backend systems, ensuring that once a quote is approved, the necessary data flows directly into production. This eliminates the need for redundant data entry and reduces lead times.
6. Improved Profit Margins
By standardizing pricing rules and eliminating errors, Infor CPQ helps manufacturers maintain profit margins by ensuring consistent and accurate pricing. It also reduces the risk of underquoting or over-discounting.
7. Scalability for Growth
As your business grows, Infor CPQ scales with you. Whether you’re expanding your product line, entering new markets, or adding sales channels, CPQ ensures that your quoting and configuration processes remain efficient and accurate.
