Callidus Software, a cloud-based marketing and sales solutions provider, launched new offline capabilities for its Configure Price Quote (CPQ) offering, designed to help B2B salespeople offer quotes and proposals quickly and efficiently through mobile devices — without having to be connected directly to the Internet.
The offline features enable users to access product, pricing and configuration information on-the-go. Syncing capabilities also remove the need to manually re-key information between systems.
The updates include further CRM integration as well, enabling salespeople to retrieve customer data from Salesforce and make it available offline, while also creating a synching queue to keep everything up-to-date once the user is back online.
"Cloud-based CPQ solutions have been limited by the need for connectivity, which prevents sales pros from delivering quotes," said Jimmy Duan, CTO at CallidusCloud. "Introducing offline capabilities allows sales pros to bring CPQ into the field, eliminating delays and errors. Being able to create and close quotes anywhere makes the selling experience better for customers, and extends CPQ's powerful benefits of guided selling, upselling and margin protection to maximize deal sizes."
