eRep CPQ for Manufacturing

Why Manufacturers Need eRep CPQ

eRep CPQ is a modern sales software platform that empowers manufacturers to quote, sell, and support complex products via direct sales and through omni-channel partners. eRep enables faster quote delivery for shorter sales cycles and increased revenues, streamlined pricing updates, elimination of costly errors, improved channel management, and increased visibility with advanced reporting and business intelligence.

Face It Your Sales Channels Need to Quote Fast

Forrester’s research of distributors shows that today’s sales channels expect a digital, convenient buying process with mobile access. It also shows that customers will switch loyalty if the sales process does not meet those criteria.

Plus your distributors, sales reps, and dealers are probably losing sales because they can’t get the quotes completed fast enough. And they don’t have enough time to follow-up on previous quotes. That affects reaching your sales goals.

Need for Speed

In today’s world, customers need answers now. How fast a salesperson can get a quote to a customer is critical to closing more sales and improving customer experience.

Accuracy is Critical

Pricing and discount mistakes during the quoting process are usually absorbed by the manufacturer in whole or part, costing you money and reducing overall margin.

More Stakeholders

Today’s B2B selling often involves collaboration between multiple sales reps, sales offices, and managers requiring real-time coordination and approvals.

Complex Pricing Frustrates

Complex pricing frustrates sellers trying to get quotes done quickly which results in sellers less likely to quote more often. New reps can take months and even years to onboard.

Sales Channel Updating

Keeping sales channels updated with the latest products, pricing, options, and discounts is costly for manufacturers and frustrating for distributors, resulting in costly mistakes.

Need Answers Anytime

Today’s B2B sales channels are doing quotes on nights and weekends, at home, and golf course on many devices. They expect your sales platform to be available anytime on any device.
