More and more companies implement Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solutions. These applications are clever tools that allow sales teams to produce detailed and accurate sales quotes for their customers.
Many software providers offer some sort of CPQ solution. If you are already using Salesforce, you probably know their CPQ solution.
