What is Commercial Excellence?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Commercial excellence is the set of business processes that reside between your back-office ERP system and your front-office CRM. It requires the articulation of what should occur between engaging with the market to make your offer all the way through reaching a commercial agreement with a prospect, partner, or of course, a current customer, and optimizing that process for efficiency, accuracy, and profitability.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, most large enterprises wouldn\u2019t dream of trying to function efficiently and profitably without their ERP backbone. ERP systems have been proven essential and more than capable of handling sales-related back office requirements related to order fulfillment. On the customer-facing front office side of the business, most large enterprises have also rolled out some sort of CRM solution \u2013 often for no other reason than to deal with contact\/account management and the fact that the user experience of ERP for the sales organization just doesn\u2019t cut it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the long haul, ERP, CRM and other enterprise systems have played significant roles in the ongoing gains in productivity and efficiency for large companies. For that reason, SAP<\/a> has been a successful company for over half a century and Salesforce<\/a> has existed for almost over a quarter century. But let\u2019s face it \u2013 while ERP systems can \u2018handle\u2019 pricing, they were never intended to manage or optimize pricing. Similarly: CRM systems can provide a wonderful experience tailored to the user who has to face a customer, and needs to keep track of roles and responsibilities over time. But when it comes to making sure the right product – at the right price – at the right time is presented during the quoting process that happens at a faster pace every day, most CRM solutions come up short. That is where CPQ systems<\/a> thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n
