Strategy
A successful CPQ implementation starts with an advisory and strategy phase. We help to define goals and translate them into a clear strategy. We deliver a realistic planning aligned to optimal configuration, implementation plan and integration. With in-depth knowledge of automotive CPQ we identify opportunities and advise on the best approach.
We focus on:
- Analysis of your processes and systems.
- Advice on software selection, integration approach and best practices.
- Advice on pricing framework and a strategy that aligns with your goals.
Analysis & Design
From insight to a future-proof design. Together we map out the functional and technical requirements. With our expertise we ensure a holistic approach that matches your specific needs. The result is a detailed overview of requirements, high-level design and detailed-level design that aligns with your existing digital landscape.
We supply the following:
- Analysis of requirements.
- Functional design e.g. based on the pricing framework and quote layout.
- IT design for CPQ integration in the digital landscape.
Configuration & Implementation
From design to successful implementation. The CPQ package is configured and set up by our team in such a way that it perfectly matches desired needs. Among other features, the solution incorporates complex calculation models and price tables in line with the agreed specifications.
Our approach:
- Configuration of customized product and pricing structures.
- Creating configuration rules and calculation models.
- Full support during implementation, documentation and handover after delivery.
Integration
We ensure seamless integration across all scenarios while adhering to strict security and performance standards. Rigorous testing minimizes the risk of errors during implementation.
Our expertise:
- Generic APIs for flexible, scalable integrations.
- Integration with backend systems for real-time synchronization of price and stock information.
- One-size-fits all quoting solution integrated with Sales and Operations.
Deployment management
We center on the successful "Go-live" in the production environment. With proactive guidance and support, we ensure a seamless transition while minimizing any impact on operational processes.
Key considerations:
- Comprehensive testing and carefully managed go-live planning significantly reduce the risk of disruptions.
- Seamless data migration from legacy systems ensures consistency and reliability.
- Knowledge transfer for effective use and management of the CPQ solution.
Post implementation
Following the successful launch of the CPQ solution, the focus shifts to optimizing performance, providing support, and ensuring scalability and reliability.
Future-proof support:
- Incident management and troubleshooting to maintain uninterrupted operations.
- Continuous improvement aligned with shifting business demands.
- Support for scaling the CPQ solution to new markets, products, or processes.
Delivery Modellen
End-to-End
A turnkey solution where the CPQ solution is configured and integrated without overloading or scaling up your own (development) capacity. Drive CPQ manages the entire process from start to finish with our team of experts.
- Complete end-to-end package implementation and integration.
- Full development & CPQ implementation capacity.
- Emphasis on architecture, implementation, integration and process guidance
Co-Creation
A collaborative model where the CPQ solution is configured and integrated utilizing your existing resources. However, our CPQ expertise and development support are readily available when needed. In this approach, we work together with your internal team, ensuring close collaboration throughout the entire process.
- Closely involved in the entire integration process.
- Flexible development & CPQ implementation capacity.
- Emphasis on architecture, implementation, integration and process guidance.
Advisory Only
A collaboration model where you have sufficient hands-on (development) capacity. Drive CPQ will act as a strategic partner that provides advice, technical design, and project guidance, without direct involvement in implementation and development activities.
- Phased involvement based on project needs.
- No direct involvement in development & CPQ implementation.
- Emphasis on advice, architecture and project guidance.
Pricing
Hourly/Daily rate
- Costs are transparently calculated based on the actual hours or days worked, providing direct insight into expenses.
- Expenses are directly tied to the time invested.
- Flexible and scalable as the project evolves.
- Pricing is determined according to the scope of the assignment.
Flat fee per Engagement
Based on a predetermined amount, costs are predictable regardless of the time and resources utilized.
- Expenses are tied to the engagement.
- Specific services and/or access to experts.
- Rate known in advance.
