Smart CPQ Subscription Ramping<\/h3>\n

The subscription ramping feature provides a tailored pricing strategy, ensuring predictable revenue streams and preventing churn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ramping helps with recurring revenue models by splitting up a subscription into different ramp periods that allow for fluid adoption cycles within the subscription time frame. This allows businesses to negotiate terms over relevant periods and provides predictability.<\/p>\n

Self-Service Empowerment<\/h2>\n

Smart CPQ Collaborative Quoting and Self-Service Capabilities<\/h3>\n

Last release in Smart CPQ we introduced Collaborative Quoting that we know will revolutionize the customer experience. We\u2019ve since simplified product exploration, enhanced usability, and will continue offering mobile-friendly features so you can drive engagement and seize upsell opportunities. This ties into our vision for empowering customer self-service even more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the Spring release mobile selectors and dropdown fields in Smart CPQ are specifically optimized for smaller screens to ensure a more user-friendly experience. Customers can also now leverage their existing catalog configuration settings to deploy Collaborative Quoting very easily and access catalog browsing, quote modification, and in quote approval for their teams.<\/p>\n

Smart Price Management: New Features and Services<\/h3>\n

The Smart Price Management module introduces a revamped unit of measurement service, high data volume handling, default pricing methods, and the addition of a comparison box plot. These features empower businesses with self-service tools and advanced analytics for better pricing management.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

High data volume handling is a new configuration option in the master price list that allows for optimization for very high volumes of price records along with catalog items.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The new analytics chart within Sales Insights allows for more flexible grouping and advanced insights.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, in response to valuable customer feedback, we\u2019ve implemented a default pricing method feature that can be applied across all master price lists. This will allow customers to easily maintain uniform pricing methods and significantly improve operational efficiency across their entire organizations.<\/p>\n

AI and Analytics<\/h2>\n

Core AI Features Unveiled<\/h3>\n

One of the highlights of this release are the core AI features, including the integration of Microsoft 365’s Copilot with PROS Smart CPQ.<\/p>\n
