The problem

Quote errors reach customers

Sales and CPQ teams build quotes with discounts, bundles, and configurations. A wrong net price, a missing required product, or an unapproved discount costs margin and credibility.

Pricing checks
Net prices against list and discount, line amounts, totals, and maximum discounts, to the cent.
Product rules
Products that require or exclude each other, plus interpreted configuration conflicts between lines.
Requirements and approvals
Each customer requirement is checked against the quote, and approval thresholds come only from your policy.
Use cases

Where teams use it

  • CPQ validation
  • Deal desk review
  • Discount governance
  • Partner quoting
  • Renewal quotes
