Proposal generation, simplified!
Bridge’s CPQ engine simplifies proposal generation by allowing salespeople and channel partners with ready-to-use, customized proposals in a few steps. You can generate personalized proposals for each prospect using the CPQ engine becauseit allows you to include additional content such as case studies, whitepapers, research articles, etc., in an existing proposal template. The CPQ engine will show only the relevant assets to be added, based on the situation. For example, it will display assets tagged as Healthcare for healthcare industry prospects.
Helps corporate retain control over key proposal elements
The CPQ engine is equipped with a quote editor that supports role-based permissions for editing and access. You get to decide what part of the proposal/quote your partners or sales teams will be able to edit. You can limit access/edit rights to certain sections of the proposal or quote such as the brand elements (Logos, color codes, font style, etc.,) or regulatory/legal elements such as disclaimers, terms and conditions, etc., .
Supports discount approval
In the event a salesperson or channel partner has offered a discount that goes beyond the typically approved rate and needs a sign-off from someone else, they can send the quote for approval right via the Bridge platform.
E-Contract generation
The quotation/proposal generated via the CPQ module is linked to Bridge’s contract module, As a result, the system automatically generates a contract based on the data selected at the time of quote/proposal generation. For example, if you have different service level agreements for different industry verticals, Bridge will choose the right one based on the data selected at the proposal generation stage.
