CPQ software

CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) software automates the sales process by streamlining product configuration, pricing, and quote generation. While the market is mature with major players like Salesforce, Oracle, and SAP, significant pain points persist around complexity, high implementation costs, lack of support for modern pricing models (e.g., usage-based), and fragmented workflows. There's a strong demand for simpler, more agile, and better-integrated solutions, especially for small to medium-sized businesses and SaaS companies.

Sample user voices

"We spent over $500K and two years trying to implement Salesforce CPQ, but we were still leaking revenue. With DealHub, everything’s in one place, and it just works… We were live in 8 weeks."

"The main thing I didn't like about the CPQ software was how rigid it was."
