Investing in a CRM system is often the first step toward a digital sales process – but how often does it actually become the powerful tool you imagined?
In many organizations, the CRM ends up as a place to store customer data, rather than a platform that actively helps sales teams close more deals.
That’s where CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) comes in. When quoting and configuration become part of your CRM workflow, everything changes. Salespeople not only stay in the system, they rely on it.
In this article, we’ll explore how companies like KH-Maskin, Café Bar, and Beans in Cup dramatically increased CRM adoption, improved data quality, and accelerated their sales cycles. Simply by integrating CPQ with their CRM.
Creating and sending quotes directly from the CRM is a game-changer. No more switching tabs, hunting for spreadsheets, or copying information between systems. Everything happens in one place. In your CRM.
The result? CRM stops being a reporting tool and becomes a natural part of daily sales work.
When the quoting process is smooth, and delivers accurate and professional results, usage follows naturally.
A CPQ system ensures that product, pricing, and discount data is always up to date and synced directly with your CRM.
That means:
Beans in Cup reported a drop in pricing errors from 5% to just 1% after implementing vloxq CPQ – and that’s the kind of result your finance team will love.
When every quote, with full product and pricing details, is created and logged in the CRM, you gain a whole new level of visibility.
You’ll get:
With reliable data behind your forecasts, leadership can allocate resources, plan inventory, and make smarter strategic decisions.
Modern CPQ tools don’t stop at CRM, they integrate just as easily with your ERP or billing systems. That means your sales process becomes smoother, faster, and more connected.
Café Bar now saves up to 30 minutes on each complex quote thanks to this automation. This is time that sales reps can spend with customers instead of admin.
Built-in quoting tools in CRMs are fine until your process gets more complex.
If your business needs:
…then a purpose-built CPQ is the right solution. That’s why KH-Maskin calls vloxq CPQ "the heart of our entire sales process."
