The End of Salesforce CPQ – What It Means for Your Business

Salesforce has announced the end-of-life (EOL) for its Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solution, leaving many businesses searching for a viable replacement. With this unexpected shift, companies that rely on Salesforce CPQ for quoting and pricing automation must act quickly to avoid disruptions. The right alternative must not only replace Salesforce CPQ but also provide a future-proof solution that enhances pricing efficiency, accelerates sales cycles, and ensures profitability.

For B2B enterprises looking for an intelligent, AI-driven CPQ solution, Intelligent CPQ is the best alternative. Let’s explore why Salesforce is discontinuing CPQ, the challenges businesses face, and how Vendavo provides a superior option.

Key Reasons for Salesforce Discontinuing CPQ
