Expedite Commerce

"Great CPQ Platform and Overall Value Proposition"

Overall: We continue to drive customer-adoption which will further improve the ROI as customers enter their own orders. Old habits die hard. But the Expedite Commerce system is super simple and easy/intuitive to work with and we've seen adoption continue to improve month-by-month. Our internal users have fully adopted the CPQ platform and they love it. They consistently rave about the improved professionalism and reliability of information that is being managed through the Expedite Commerce system. This has had a very positive impact on the sales of our customized products and has become a differentiator for us versus our competitors. We're developing this competitive advantage and building on that story in our industry.

Pros: The system is highly flexible and intuitive and has accommodated our needs to perform CPQ functions. It has also supported our need to manage our Installed Base of products and to allow Parts Ordering after the sale (by both internal support staff and by our customers via ecommerce). Even more importantly, Expedite Commerce has been absolutely instrumental in providing best practices and guidance all the way through the implementation process. They've not just been a "vendor" but more than any software/hardware provider I've worked with historically, they've been a true partner.

Cons: Generally, it's fairly easy to identify missed expectations, but that is not the case with Expedite Commerce. The software and the company have accommodated our needs and exceeded our expectations. The issues we experienced along the way were most often associated with our data or with unclear functional definitions on our part.

"Let your Sales Team create their own invoices on the fly. "

Overall: Overall, it's been a slow process getting this software implemented. Many obstacles popped into play as we were trying to implement the software. Many additional services we needed were an additional expense if we wanted to implement them.

Pros: I love the fact that our sales team can now create their own proposals, add discounts, add and remove items easily by the paths we have set up. It allows us to focus more on the billing aspects and lets the sales team provide proposals at any hour of the day without waiting for the finance department to do it for them.

Cons: I do feel it is a little clunky in its ability to add items to an invoice and attach documents when sending a proposal. I would like it to offer templates for particular types of sales without having to see a list of attachments to choose.
