UI/UX Features

Built with a responsive, flexible design and a new layout that works seamlessly across all platforms, sales teams can now efficiently quote from any device. The new step-by-step guided quote process ensures accurate quotes. And, its modern design can be customized to incorporate a client’s unique branding, providing an added level of professionalism.

Action-based Dashboard

The new user-friendly, action-based dashboard can be tailored to reflect a company’s unique sales objectives. Features include graphs to track user performance; calls-to-action and alerts for user to-do’s; and user activity logs.

RFQ Management

A new RFQ management system increases usability with the added ability to filter and sort RFQs by a variety of fields – contact, company, email, location, market, product, lead source, etc. Managers can also filter by owner and admins can filter by manager. RFQs can be transferred to another rep or converted to a quote. The new CPQ version has the ability to integrate with popular CRM and ERP systems like Salesforce. Plus, when Solidify CPQ 5.0 is used in conjunction with public facing software solutions from Solidify, like a Product Catalog, RFQ Cart or Sales Portal, RFQs can be automatically added to the system and routed to the appropriate sales rep.

Report Cards

The new report card provides added insight over the entire quoting pipeline with quote versus opportunity measurement; sales team performance tracking; role-based user permissions; and approval workflows. The report card also summarizes products, metrics and resource center documents based on inclusion in quotes, and entities can be filtered by timeframe or user. Sales reps, managers and admins each have their own report cards with individual levels of reporting. And, all reports can be conveniently exported as PDFs or Excel documents.
