WebSource CPQ-The Ultimate Engineering Resource
There is a great deal of sales engineering and consultant power
available inside every web browser. As your products and services
grow ever more customized and complex, leverage the power WebSource
CPQ's to help automate, simplify, and accelerate your company's
configuration, pricing and quoting process.
WebSource CPQ is a thin-client web-based application accessible by
anyone that your company authorizes, including sales people,
resellers and channel partners that have access to the Internet and
a web browser. WebSource CPQ walks the user through the
process of specifying a product by description. Based on the
user's selections, WebSource CPQ's configuration and pricing engine
generates, in real time, all pertinent specifications, prices, and
fulfillment lead times.
As a user responds to questions about a product or service,
WebSource CPQ, much like a good highly skilled sales consultant, is
already adapting and preparing the next set of questions. Through
built in "Help me Choose" functionality, a user can easily configure
a moderately to highly complex product with just a few clicks of the
mouse. And, at the end of the process, an order can easily be
placed.
For
example, during a typical product selection process to purchase a
speed boat, WebSource CPQ poses a series of questions about boat
size, seating arrangement, color, upholstery, engine size, and
optional accessories. Answers to the questions are matched
against product availability. Certain boat sizes, for example,
might limit engine size and seating arrangements. Boat color
and upholstery are also often coordinated. WebSource CPQ
permits only a properly configured boat order to move forward in
real time as the specification process is underway. There are
no surprises for the user when, at the end of a WebSource CPQ
session, a correctly customized boat is ready for purchase.
WebSource CPQ helps companies achieve greater sales productivity
while overcoming obstacles such as product complexity and longer
sales cycles.
Some of your products may be inherently complex, not only to
install and use, but also to specify and purchase. WebSource
CPQ helps users evaluate and choose from a broad range of base
models, options, and accessories to identify the best solutions to
meet their specific needs.
Frequent introduction of new technologies, products,
and features oftentimes makes the sales and ordering process more
difficult - resulting in longer and highly challenging sales cycles.
Customers often require more time to research and evaluate their
options before purchasing. In addition, sales representatives
must work harder to understand a customer's needs - oftentimes
consulting with product experts - prior to identifying and
recommending the best solution. WebSource CPQ provides instant
access to product and pricing information 24 hours a day- 7 days a
week-365 days a year, enabling evaluation of alternatives more
quickly. Dynamic and customized quotations and proposals can
be prepared easily and efficiently.
Today, successful selling strategies often involve
skilled sales representation and the use of multiple sales channels.
WebSource CPQ can present unique information to specific user
groups, such as sales channels resellers or sales reps- while also
ensuring accurate, current and precise information is provided in a
uniform and consistent manner.
