Real-time quoting, reduced errors, and 75% faster workflow
The business challenges holding industrial supply companies back
Disconnected sales and quoting processes create bottlenecks
Siloed sales tools slow quoting, misalign orders, and create pricing inconsistencies, delaying transactions and reducing overall efficiency.
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Spreadsheets and manual inputs cause mispricing, outdated data, and calculation errors, impacting margins, customer trust, and revenue stability.
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.
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Outdated tools struggle to support multi-region pricing, product configurations, and bulk orders, making it harder to scale and expand efficiently.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.
CPQ and Magento workflows were misaligned
Quotes, pricing, and orders lacked synchronization between Epicor CPQ and Magento, leading to frequent pricing discrepancies.
Slow, error-prone quoting system
Without automated CPQ price calculations, teams manually entered pricing data, resulting in inconsistent pricing across CPQ and ERP.
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.
Performance bottlenecks in CPQ configurator
The Epicor CPQ product configurator took 40 seconds to load, slowing down complex B2B quoting workflows.
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.
