Imagine your business to business enterprise having to send a quote to customer for a highly configurable product line. Prices change every week, and depending on customer location, relationship and other factores, promotions and discounts vary.

How long is this cycle in your company? Does the customer keep waiting while your team is trying to figure out the quote. Also, does the quote get stuck in legal review and red lining – keeping the customer waiting – due to internal processes?
