You might be using an online sales quoting
software that helps you to quickly prepare quotes
no matter how complex they are but surely that is
not enough in order to stay ahead of the
competition. Yes, automating the quoting process
does help to improve productivity and double your
efficiency but the tool should come with certain
additional features that make it more
versatile. If you want to make your business
stand out, the quoting tool should have the
following features Build-on Mobile App
Platform With mobile devices being a rage, it
makes sense to have a web quotation software that
also works on a mobile platform. Also, sales reps
travel a lot to meet their prospective customers.
So when a customer requests for a quote, he
should be able to produce it then and there. This
is possible only if the software supports mobile
devices such as iPhone, Samsung Galaxy Nexus,
iTab, BlackBerry or any other smartphone. So
irrespective of your mobile device and the
operating system you are using, the Best mobile
sales quoting app has to be designed in such a
way that it runs on all platforms.

Supports Multiple Languages   Yes, the IT product
quoting software helps in creating attractive
quotes in minutes but if it supports only English
language, you are restricting your customer base.
English is not a language of communication in
many countries, hence if you want to target
prospects from these places, it is necessary that
the tool helps to produce sales documents in a
variety of languages. There are quoting solutions
available that support over 26 languages. So if
you want to grow your business, it is essential
that the tool allows you to create and send
quotes, SO and PO in different languages.   Built-
in Approval Workflow Module   Automated workflow
and approval process ensure that any quote
generated meets the management criteria before it
is sent to the customer. For instance, in order
to meet the sales target, you would never want
your sales reps to sell products that produce a
very low quote margin. To avoid such a situation,
quotes that do not satisfy the criteria are
automatically sent to the management for
approval. In general, the approval workflow
ensures that quotes with the right pricing are
sent to the customer.
