Automating the quote-to-cash process

If you're looking to automate your sales process even further, you may be considering how to quickly and accurately generate quotes for orders by recognising a consumer's intent to buy, using CRM, through to providing a quote, signing contracts and receiving funds.

The process goes a little like this:

• Using Salesforce, your sales rep configures the offer for your customer.

• Then, they generate the quote safely and securely. With Docusign Gen for Salesforce, you can effortlessly merge customer, product and pricing data to create sales documents and generate complex quote documents from Salesforce CPQ.

• You can deliver a quote to the prospect.

• With Docusign for Salesforce (eSignature), the rep can send the quote to their customer for signature without leaving Salesforce.

• Once the quote has been approved and signed, the rep can send the sales contract for signature. With the click of a button, data from the opportunity is automatically populated in the sales contract, so it doesn't need rekeying.

• Their prospect signs the agreement and can provide additional information, such as the PO number or shipping address, during the signing process.

• The order is processed.

• An invoice is created, which the customer can settle.

• Cash is collected and reallocated.

• Data for the entire process—along with the signed agreement--is stored back in Salesforce automatically, which you can analyze and generate reports for.
