Conga CPQ for Transportation
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Conga CPQ and Billing to configure pricing for Home-To-School bus routes transporting students from home to school and back again. We also use it to price shuttles and field trips. We have integrated Conga/SF with dispatch system via MSAzure to bring in daily usage quantities. We batch up all the quantities at the end of the month to create a monthly invoice for our customers. We also use Conga and SF for reporting to give insight back upstream to our bid/pricing team to standardize pricing/offerings where possible.
Pros
- Standard Invoice Run
- Invoice run and send to customer
- Allow for pricing flexibility
Cons
- Controls in billing - e.g. don't allow a due date that is prior to invoice date
- Support - we find that our implementation/use of the product is very different from the core use cases
- Profuct Catalog/Price list mgmt
Likelihood to Recommend
Conga CPQ is flexible in the price setup. We achieve a lot of customized pricing setups using CPQ. Usage flowing into billing works well also.
The Conga cart is a huge painpoint for us. We bill each route and trip we run individually so we have a very large amount of manual, complex cart configuration.
