Salesforce CPQ Quote-to-Cash: Cutting Quote Turnaround from Days to Minutes

The Challenge

A growing B2B enterprise relied on spreadsheets and email approvals to build customer quotes. Sales reps spent days assembling complex, multi-product quotes, pricing was applied inconsistently across regions, and uncontrolled discounting eroded margins. Finance had no reliable view of the pipeline because quote data lived outside the CRM, making forecasting unreliable and deal desk reviews slow.
