Amberflo Quoting Cloud is a modern Configure, Price, and Quote (CPQ) service that streamlines quote and proposal generation for usage-based pricing models powering cloud services such as Generative AI, LLMs, co-pilots, and modern SaaS.

‍

Amberflo Quoting Cloud is purpose-built for usage-based and hybrid pricing models and enables sales teams to close deals faster by accurately configuring quotes. And with its deep interoperability with Amberflo Metering Cloud and Billing Cloud, businesses can now automate end-to-end order creation, usage and entitlements tracking, and on-demand metered invoicing and billing. Amberflo Quoting Cloud is the latest addition to Amberflo’s leading platform for Metering and Usage-Based Pricing and Billing. It serves as the third leg of the stool (Quoting + Metering + Billing) to deliver a complete platform from quote-to-cash for modern businesses.

‍

Businesses can now empower sales teams to bring in repeatability, predictability, and accuracy into usage-based and hybrid contracts while delighting customers with flexible discounts and entitlements. It reduces time to close and most importantly drives alignment and accuracy between what is sold and what is subsequently invoiced and billed.

Traditional Quoting tools were not built for Usage-Based Pricing 

‍

Traditional Quoting or CPQ tools were not designed for Usage-Based pricing and billing models. They do not support dynamic price calculations based on usage, and modern contract and entitlement terms such as flexible or tiered pricing, prepaid and drawdowns, commitments and true-ups, and more. Additionally, traditional CPQ tools are expensive to use, and difficult to operate, requiring long deployment and change management cycles. They have no built-in capabilities for operationalizing a quote. Usage Metering, Invoicing and Billing are off loaded to a separate 3rd party system or to a manual process, requiring complex, costly, and time consuming integrations with subpar results and continuous remediation issues.
