"Before using Firepond, it took us many hours to prepare a proposal, but now it takes
just minutes. Firepond also allows us to centralize the distribution of pricing and
product information to control our margins, while still providing our sales representatives
flexibility in preparing the final proposal to our customers."
"With Firepond, we are getting rich customer-focused applications on the most advanced,
internet-based platform available today, allowing us to continue to customize our products
in an effective manner. We consider Firepond a strategic piece of our long-term
business-to-business commerce strategy, which is focused on driving significant
competitive advantages for our company and our customers."
"Only certain combinations of PlantCML products work together and product availability
is sometimes based on the type of user. Firepond OnDemand’s powerful configuration
resolves those complexities. In addition, PlantCML’s primary resellers are major
names in the telecommunications industry. It is imperative that our configuration and
quoting solution be intuitive and flexible not only for our internal needs, but for our
partners’ users as well."
"We have been using Firepond CPQ OnDemand for over a year and a half now with over 150 users.
During that time, even though we have added new sales representatives, we have seen the time
it takes to configure, price and quote our products reduced by at least 50%. Also, because it
allows us to improve our consistency for data distribution to over 100 people worldwide, it
has made a significant impact on our margin improvements."
