Automate, simplify and improve your pricing and tendering management, sales configuration and product configuration processes with ASC Pricing and Quoting solutions.
Bid Management Process
ASC Pricing and Quoting is a web-based solution for configure, price and quote (CPQ) management that specifically focuses on facilitating RFx -- request for proposal (RFP), request for quote (RFQ) and request for information (RFI) -- creation and management, sourcing and procurement activities, and collaborative (purchaser and vendor) negotiation. The secure, customizable ASC Pricing and Quoting solution manages the entire bidding process including tender posting, amendment and access, plus response submission, evaluation and award.
Sales Configuration and Pricing Configuration
On the sales and pricing side, ASC Pricing and Quoting automates and manages sales configurator requirements and pricing and promotion calculations such as customer, channel, volume and product-specific promotions and discounts. This entails the complete buy-side and sell-side contract management lifecycle such as quote to cash (QTC), quote to order (QTO), and configure, price, quote (CPQ).
