A custom CPQ that broke on multi-year and ramped deals, rebuilt on a document platform

Five quote types live in production

The problem

Quoting ran on a custom, brittle configuration that broke on multi-year and ramped deals, the pro-rated discount formula assumed a fixed one-year term, so anything longer priced incorrectly. Product-based contract limits were not enforced, each quote type had drifted apart from the others, and the company was adding a consumption-priced product line the existing setup could not price at all.

The play

  1. 1
    Quote-to-cash rebuilt across every quote type

    Rebuilt quoting in the document platform integrated with the CRM, guided selling, product-based contract limits, and multi-year, ramp and proration logic, across new business, renewal, expansion, pilot and partner quote types, so the five paths share one engine instead of five sets of drift.

  2. 2
    Fixing the discount math at the root

    Corrected the pro-rated discount formula so the baseline derives from the contract's actual term rather than a fixed one-year assumption, auto-scaling to any one-to-five-year contract instead of being patched per deal.

  3. 3
    A consumption-priced product line configured end to end

    Configured the new consumption-priced product line, both its usage packs and its platform tiers, across every quoting workflow, so reps could quote it through the configured path rather than sending manual paperwork.

  4. 4
    Admin training and handover to the in-house team

    Delivered CPQ admin training to the sales team and to the customer's own revenue-operations team, who now make quoting workflow changes themselves.

What it moved

Five quote types live in production

Quoting was rebuilt and deployed to production across new business, renewal, expansion, pilot and partner flows, tested and syncing to the CRM.

A consumption-priced product line quotable through the configured path. The new usage-priced line was configured across every quoting workflow so reps could quote it without manual paperwork.
