IBM Dynamic Pricing vs Salesforce CPQ comparison

IBM Dynamic Pricing helps online retailers respond in real time to changes in competitive prices, product demand and market conditions—driving improvements in revenue, margin and customer loyalty. This cloud-based offering automatically recommends an online retailer’s best response. It combines web data, such as page views and cart abandonment—along with sales, inventory and the latest competitive pricing information—and uses pricing intelligence to recommend the most appropriate pricing action.

Configure-Price-Quote software from Salesforce takes the pain out of complicated pricing, helping sales reps rapidly create estimates, proposals, quotes, and orders that look great. Salesforce CPQ (formerly Steelbrick) dramatically speeds proposal and quote generation, allowing image-based product selection constrained by your configuration rules. Managers appreciate control over discounts and processes. The CPQ software connects to your product catalog and populates quotes and orders in your CRM.
