Why Traditional Quoting Processes Cost You Deals

Sales teams waste hours creating quotes in disconnected tools like Word, Excel, and email. This fragmented approach creates serious problems that directly impact revenue and customer satisfaction.

The Hidden Costs of Manual Quoting:

Sales reps spend 3-5 hours per week recreating quotes from scratch
Pricing errors and inconsistencies damage profit margins by 5-15%
Quotes get lost in email chains, requiring customers to ask "what happened to my quote?"
Manual data entry between quote and invoice systems introduces billing errors
No visibility into which quotes are pending, approved, or abandoned
Sales managers lack real-time forecasting based on quoted pipeline value
Finance teams struggle with revenue recognition and audit trails
Approved quotes sit in limbo waiting for someone to manually create invoices

Traditional manual quoting process causing delays and errors
