The business challenges holding industrial supply companies back

challenges

Disconnected sales and quoting processes create bottlenecks

Siloed sales tools slow quoting, misalign orders, and create pricing inconsistencies, delaying transactions and reducing overall efficiency.

challenges

Manual data entry leads to pricing errors

Spreadsheets and manual inputs cause mispricing, outdated data, and calculation errors, impacting margins, customer trust, and revenue stability.

challenges

Slow quoting delays customer decisions

Without automation and real-time pricing, sales reps take longer to generate quotes, delaying negotiations and losing sales to faster competitors.

challenges

Legacy systems limit scalability and growth

Outdated tools struggle to support multi-region pricing, product configurations, and bulk orders, making it harder to scale and expand efficiently.

The challenges they faced

A leader in industrial storefront glass and glazing solutions, encountered multiple Epicor CPQ workflow challenges while optimizing their B2B eCommerce quoting process.

Alert icon

CPQ and Magento workflows were misaligned

Quotes, pricing, and orders lacked synchronization between Epicor CPQ and Magento, leading to frequent pricing discrepancies.

Alert icon

Slow, error-prone quoting system

Without automated CPQ price calculations, teams manually entered pricing data, resulting in inconsistent pricing across CPQ and ERP.

Alert icon

Data mismatches between CPQ, CRM, and ERP

Misaligned data fields across Epicor CPQ, Magento, and Salesforce caused errors in pricing, product configurations, and order management.

Alert icon

Performance bottlenecks in CPQ configurator

The Epicor CPQ product configurator took 40 seconds to load, slowing down complex B2B quoting workflows.

Alert icon

Limited CPQ-Magento API compatibility

Out-of-the-box Epicor CPQ APIs didn’t fully support Magento, requiring custom integration to enable seamless data transfer and approvals.

The Result?

They faced slow quoting, pricing inconsistencies, and disconnected workflows. Sales teams struggled with delayed approvals, inaccurate pricing, and fragmented data, making it difficult to deliver fast, error-free quotes.
