Apparound and Gartner

Apparound was included by Gartner in its 2022 Magic Quadrant for CPQ (Configure, price and quote, i.e. the suites that allow you to automate the creation of quotes, based on customer choices, configuring products and applying prices and discounts) . According to the same research company, these are solutions that boast a growing global market. To get an idea, just think that their sales increased by 36% between 2017 and 2018 (reaching a turnover of 1.1 billion dollars) and it is estimated an increase year on year of 25% up to to 2020.

Simple and effective sales process

In this context, Apparound has conquered its position in the quadrant among niche producers for the ease of use on the move and the intuitiveness of its interface (suitable for those who do not have particular IT skills ). The performance it guarantees, as well as the ability to work offline, also contributed. In fact, this is a situation that often occurs when users are in areas with low network coverage.

But the real strength of the solution is that Apparound is more than just a CPQ. It is in fact a sales tool that encompasses everything the seller needs during negotiations. From digital content management, to the offer configurator (CPQ), the contract generator, remote signature and forms for data collection and information in the field.
