Client Profile

The client is a leading logistics technology provider with key clientele including e-commerce, retail, and third-party logistics companies. By leveraging client’s distinctive amalgamation of real-time visibility, logistics orchestration, and customer experience, businesses are reducing their logistics overheads while improving operational efficiency and end-customers’ satisfaction. The client is operating through five global offices, serving over 150 customers across 30 countries.

The Problem

The client had a very tailored pricing model as per their customers’ requirements which led to issues in integrating the quoting and ordering activities. The client wanted to synergize and link their sales and financial aspects in backend through a CRM, which matches the unique pricing model of their services. This posed as a challenge since it required a completely new solution and the right resources with expertise to implement this highly customized solution.

  • Complicated pricing model with no standardization:
    The client’s existing pricing model had considerable variations since their services and prices were completely based on their customer’s varying requirements, which resulted in lack of any standardization in the pricing.
  • Imminent requirement of new CPQ software:
    The client required Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) software that ties sales and finance funnel in the most cohesive manner and provides dynamic product-based pricing to customers.
