Client
The client is a global leader in industrial technology committed to creating a safer, more sustainable, and connected future. With an approximately 80,000-strong workforce, including over 7,500 engineers across 140 countries, they deliver advanced connectivity and sensor solutions for transportation, industrial systems, healthcare, energy, data communications, and smart homes.
Challenges
The client wanted to modernize its pricing strategy to keep pace with a fast-changing industrial manufacturing landscape. Traditional cost-plus models were no longer effective amid supply chain disruptions, regulatory shifts, and rising customer demands. With multiple disparate systems across business units, the client needed a unified, scalable solution to deliver accurate, agile pricing at the customer’s speed.
- The client wanted to simplify manual, rigid pricing processes that delayed quote creation, leading to revenue loss due to the long quoting cycle.
- Deal execution was delayed due to inconsistent service Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) templates and manual processes, leading to slow turnaround for end users.
- Manual pricing updates caused approval delays, slowing special pricing decisions and deal momentum.
- Lack of integration between SAP(to create price agreement) and Salesforce forced users to manually create service CPQ quotes, leading to inefficiencies and manual errors.
- Fragmented collaboration and disconnected workflows between IT, business teams, and vendors hindered innovation and agility, with no proactive coordination.
These challenges highlighted the need for services selling strategies that could streamline quoting and pricing workflows across the enterprise.
