salesforce quote to cash FAQ

Is Salesforce Quote to Cash solution a standalone app?

Quote to cash is a process that can be made effective by integrating Salesforce and Certinia products and selecting the right mix for your business – and that’s where we come in. Because Salesforce is an extensible platform, you can have core functionality, including financial management, in one solution.

We don't have Salesforce. Why would we choose Salesforce QTC over a standalone application?

Single-purpose applications don’t work well in today’s business world. Salesforce, its products and add-ons allow you to replace several single-purpose apps with one cloud application. This extensibility is more efficient, less costly, and gives you a 360° client-centric view of all business processes from sales, marketing and service delivery to accounting and finance.

How long does it take to implement QUOTE TO CASH?

A typical Salesforce Quote to Cash implementation takes 10-15 weeks. The larger and more complex your organization is, the longer the implementation takes. Because each company is unique, so is each implementation. A thorough consultation is required to determine the implementation scope and time required to complete it.

What's the difference between QTC and CPQ?

The terms are often used interchangeably because they are so closely related. QTC applications automate sales and contract lifecycle management. Configure-price-quote is the starting point of that lifecycle and is mainly concerned with the automation of estimates, proposals, contracts and invoicing that begin a buyer’s relationship with your business. In Salesforce, quote to cash tools are found in the Salesforce CPQ product editions.

Do you provide Salesforce QTC training?

Yes. We train key staff in most aspects of Salesforce QTC. Trainees will become familiar with workflows and most-used Salesforce QTC features.

What does it cost to implement QUOTE TO CASH in Salesforce?

It’s impossible to estimate QTC implementation costs without a thorough consultation. The scope of implementation will determine the cost. To receive an estimate, request a consultation with our QTC implementation experts.
