Why appero quote is a strong addition to your Salesforce portfolio

You are probably familiar with this situation: Sales Cloud has been introduced, but the quotation processes are still based on Excel, Word and time-consuming manual approval steps. Media disruptions, unclear pricing rules and a lack of CI compliance slow down sales teams and increase error rates.

With appero quote - CPQ Light you offer your customers:

Native integration with Salesforce: All quote data remains in Salesforce – no additional software or system integrations required.
Straightforward user friendly configuration options instead of unnecessary complexity: Focus on scalable, streamlined quotation processes - ideal for customers for whom Revenue Cloud & Co. is too complex or too expensive.
Quick implementation and time-to-value: Short project runtimes, clearly defined scope, high customer satisfaction.
CI-compliant documents at the touch of a button: Quotes are generated automatically from Salesforce with the client’s corporate branding.
Clear pricing logic and governance: Pricing rules are stored in the system, discounts and approvals are mapped transparently.

This allows you to position yourself as a partner who delivers practical, profitable and easy-to-maintain quotation solutions, especially for mid-market customers with limited budgets.
