We are excited to announce the release of the latest version of EndeavorCPQ, version 9.4. This version comes with some major updates including an updated rule log, tiered pricing, document tracking, security enhancements, and performance improvements.

There are now extended capabilities to capture granular sales data inside EndeavorCPQ. We have integrated Microsoft Power BI into EndeavorCPQ so you can have a better view of your sales data, and make better decisions to empower your sales team.

Complex, formal proposals incorporate more moving parts from more departments and ensuring everyone has accurate brand and product information is crucial. Using document and proposal generation inside your CPQ application can help keep everyone on the same page. Here is how EndeavorCPQ helps with documents and proposals:

EndeavorCPQ Marketplace is up and running with exceptional customer satisfaction in the machine tool industry. One of our early adopters, Blum-Novotest, has said our software has exceeded their expectations and they are already seeing positive results.

They develop and manufacture solutions for the machine tool, automotive and aerospace industries as well as the energy and medical technology sectors to the highest quality standards world-wide.

Many customers come to Endeavor in the midst of chaos. Their sales process is supported by disparate ERP or CRM systems or maybe different excel or word pricing sheets. This kind of workflow constantly begs the question, is everyone working with the latest most current data? When everything is so spread apart it’s hard to know.

Have you wondered what products your sales team most commonly quotes to your customers? How about how often those products are included in the final order that is submitted? Perhaps there are some industry-specific data points that you would also like to know about relating to how your company creates quotes or orders.

If you have been following along in recent weeks, we have been talking about who benefits from our Community Edition, some of the features and functions as well as the reason why it’s so important for today’s industry.

How does a product like EndeavorCPQ’s Marketplace Community benefit distributors? What can distributors do on Community Edition?

A few years ago I was fortunate enough to sit in on a talk by Simon Sinek, the author of best-selling book “Start With Why”. Simon’s Ted Talk has over 28 million views. For me, it was very impactful as I run a growing SaaS business and made it a part of everything we do. Simon does a great job of highlighting very successful companies that focus on “why” they do what they do before defining the “what” and “how”. This sounds simple, but in practice it is rarely ever done.

This year we are excited to be attending The International Manufacturing Technology Show. Endeavor Commerce is proud to be a co-sponsor with The Hardinge Group at IMTS. Find us on the IMTS floor to learn more about how our configure-price-quote software is loved by so many companies within the manufacturing industry.
