Build your own quote builder instead of buying a CPQ system
A team member at BatchData, a property data company, told Sacra he used Replit to build an internal configure, price and quote tool so salespeople could stop building quotes in elaborate Excel sheets.
What they did
Salespeople were spending too long on quotes, so he described the tool to Replit's agent and built a CPQ app where a rep builds a quote, gets it approved and sends it. He says the agent gets a one-shot idea about 80% of the way to a working prototype, then he guides it through fixes.
What happened
He says the tool is more limited than commercial CPQ products but works for the company, which avoided a costly annual subscription.
Keep in mind
He warns the agent can break down as an app grows, sometimes thinks it fixed a bug when it has not, and needs a semi-technical champion. Interview-based, with no usage numbers.
Try it with your agent
Build an internal quote builder for my sales team. Reps pick a customer, choose items from <your price list or product sheet>, apply discounts within <your approval rules>, and send anything over the limit to <approver> for sign-off. Generate a clean PDF quote with our logo. Start with a simple version I can test with <two or three past deals>.
Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
