Infor CPQ can boost sales, improve customer experience and reduce costs

CPQ (Configure Price Quote) from Infor has been designed to address tough business challenges. While the system is especially relevant for the manufacturing and distribution sectors.  It can help any business that offers a wide product range together with a high degree of configuration.

Today’s business challenges…

First of all, let’s look at some modern business challenges.  Sales can decline as the product range gets wider and increasingly complicated to sell.  A lengthy order process may mean sales staff are not as productive as they could be. Maybe the business struggles to release products quickly and efficiently. Frequent order errors will increase production costs. The continuation of manual activities will lead to a duplication of effort.

Infor CPQ is the solution…

The design automation function enables ordering by: look up, photo quality, 2D and 3D design. Another useful feature is that the user does not need additional CAD viewing software to see 3D visuals. This is because the system generates a dynamic PDF in which the user can turn, pan, zoom and tilt the 3D image all using Standard Acrobat Reader. So this is a big cost saver compared to other systems.
