In today’s fast-moving business landscape, quoting isn’t just about pricing—it’s about how quickly and accurately you can move from proposal to payment. That’s where an intelligent CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) solution becomes critical.
Axolt’s Salesforce-native CPQ and Order Management solution—now enhanced by Axo AI—streamlines the entire Quote-to-Cash cycle with automation, real-time insights, and seamless data flow between quoting, contracting, ordering, and billing.
Here are five best practices to get the most out of your CPQ strategy—and how Axolt, powered by Axo AI, helps make them a reality.
1. Keep CPQ & Order Management in Sync
One of the most common pitfalls in sales operations is the disconnect between what’s quoted and what gets fulfilled.
Axolt’s native integration with Salesforce Order Management ensures that every accepted quote is instantly transformed into an order, carrying over all the details—products, pricing, discounts, and terms—without manual re-entry.
💡 Axo AI Insight: Predict potential order delays based on historical data, fulfillment patterns, and inventory trends—before they impact delivery timelines.
2. Integrate Contracts into the Quoting Process
Contract generation should never be an afterthought. With Axolt CPQ, contracts can be auto-generated from approved quotes, using predefined templates that comply with your legal and commercial guidelines.
This keeps sales velocity high and ensures customers receive accurate, legally aligned documents faster.
💡 Axo AI Insight: Surface common contract bottlenecks, such as clauses that frequently trigger legal review or extended negotiation cycles.
3. Connect Quoting with Finance and Billing
A true Quote-to-Cash process doesn’t stop at the order—it ends with accurate billing and timely revenue recognition.
Axolt connects quotes to invoicing, accounts receivable, and financial reporting, so your finance team can stay in sync with sales activity and reduce billing errors.
💡 Axo AI Insight: Analyze billing cycles, detect anomalies in recurring charges or missed revenue opportunities, and optimize invoice timing based on customer behavior.
4. Automate Complex Approval Workflows
The more complex your pricing or product structure, the more approvals your deals require. But approvals shouldn’t slow down your sales cycle.
With Axolt CPQ, approvals are rule-based and embedded directly into Salesforce workflows—covering discounts, product combinations, terms, and more.
💡 Axo AI Insight: Identify approval stages that most often cause delays and recommend workflow optimizations to remove friction without losing control.
5. Deliver Real-Time Visibility at Every Stage
From quoting to invoicing, visibility is everything. Stakeholders need up-to-the-minute insight into deal progress, approvals, inventory availability, and cash flow.
Axolt brings together all these elements into one unified dashboard, tailored by role and department.
💡 Axo AI Insight: Provide proactive alerts for stalled deals, pricing inconsistencies, or margin erosion—so you can act before issues become revenue blockers.
