Pricefx Quoting
Pricefx Quoting is a cloud CPQ capability for sales, pricing, and finance teams creating custom quotes. It calculates deal pricing with discounts, rebates, freight charges, and other factors, then shows list price, discounts, costs, resulting margin, and floor, target, and stretch guidance before a quote is sent. Rules can route configured quotes for approval according to discount levels, deal size, or margin thresholds. After a deal closes, quote data can flow into ERP systems as price conditions for sales-order creation. Pricefx says the capability can run standalone and handle large deal volumes, configurable quote types, multi-step approvals, and complex scenarios across business units, regions, and channels. Documented integrations include SAP, Salesforce, SAP Cloud for Customer, Snowflake, OData, and REST APIs. Salesforce access is available through Unity, with other listed CRM options including Microsoft Dynamics and SugarCRM. It runs through web and API access, with cloud deployment. Pricing is on request; subscription fees are volume-based and professional services are separate.
