In short

What is a pricing and quote engine?

A pricing and quote engine composes the correct price from every rule that applies, list price, tier discount, volume break, contract override, manual discount, into one number on screen. It blocks anything below the margin floor and routes breaches to the right approver before the quote goes out, so the audit trail is the quote.

How we work

We sit with your business. We find the operational problem costing you the most. We build the system that fixes it.

The Problem

Reps quote from a price list, a tier-discount sheet, a contract folder, and a margin rule they half-remember. Every quote goes out with the rep wondering if the margin holds. Finance signs off later, holding their breath. The deal that should have made twelve points makes three. The team only finds out when the month closes. Another quarter like this and the gap between forecasted and actual margin is too wide to explain.

What We Built

A pricing engine. List price, tier discount, volume break, contract override, manual discount, composed into one number on screen, in front of the rep. A margin floor blocks anything underwater. Breaches route to the right approver before the quote goes out. The same engine quotes parts, hotel nights, or consulting scopes, only the rule set changes.

What Changed

Quote turnaround dropped from days to minutes. Average margin lifted because the engine catches the breaches reps used to miss. Every quote arrives with its rule stack attached. Finance stops auditing in arrears, the audit trail is the quote.

Example deployment

One example. The same engine, repointed at your rules, your tiers, your approvers, shaped around your business.

Live demo

One engine. Three rule sets. The right number every time.

Add lines from the catalogue, switch tiers, push a discount past the margin floor. The engine composes the price, blocks underwater lines, and emits an audit-grade quote.

How it fits the three pillars

One engine. Three jobs.

Automation

List price, tier discount, volume break and contract override compose automatically the moment a line is added. PDF generation, e-sign dispatch, CRM push and opportunity logging fire from one click, no copy-paste between tools.

Explore Automation
Audit Trails

Every line carries the rule stack that produced it: which discount fired, which override applied, who approved any breach. Finance can replay any quote end to end.

Anomaly Detection

Not the primary focus for this system.

Analytics

Live margin %, weighted COGS and floor status update with every line. The team sees what the deal does, not what the price list says.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is CPQ software used for?
CPQ, configure, price, quote, turns a tangle of price lists, discount sheets, and contract folders into one correct number in front of the rep. It catches the margin breaches reps used to miss, so quote turnaround drops from days to minutes and average margin lifts.
What’s the difference between a CRM and a pricing engine?
A CRM tracks the relationship and the pipeline; a pricing engine produces the correct, approved price for the quote. They complement each other, Zabble can wire the pricing engine to your CRM so the right number flows into the deal without anyone re-typing it.
Can it handle different products and rules?
Yes, the same engine quotes parts, hotel nights, or consulting scopes; only the rule set changes. List price, tier discount, volume break, and overrides compose into one number, with the rule stack attached so finance stops auditing margin in arrears.
