How can a mobile CPQ solution enhance field sales?

A mobile CPQ solution significantly enhances field sales by enabling sales representatives to generate accurate quotes on the go. This is crucial for field sales, where representatives are often in client meetings or travelling and may not have immediate access to a desktop system. The ability to create precise quotes in real-time helps to streamline the sales process, reduce the chances of errors that can occur with manual calculations, and ultimately speeds up the sales cycle.

By having an accurate quoting capability in their mobile CPQ solution, representatives can quickly address customer inquiries about pricing, discounts, and product configurations without needing to consult other departments or rely on outdated information. This responsiveness can improve customer satisfaction, as clients appreciate timely and accurate information when making purchasing decisions.

In contrast to this capability, generating reports offline may not be as impactful for immediate sales interactions, and while access to inventory levels is useful for understanding product availability, it does not directly contribute to the core function of quoting. Additionally, increasing the need for manual data entry would detract from the efficiency and accuracy that a mobile CPQ solution aims to provide, making it an undesirable feature for field sales operations.
