Context

I worked with global manufacturers implementing Configit's CPQ and CLM products alongside Salesforce and SAP ERP. When a configured quote cannot become a valid order, sales, operations, and the end customer all feel it.

The problem

Quote-to-order success sat at 86%, and configuration defects averaged 38 per month.

My responsibility

As a Solutions Consultant I turned customers' configuration and quote-to-order problems into requirements, process designs, and integrations that Product and Engineering could execute. As Senior Solutions Consultant I owned solution delivery end to end, including production reliability after go-live.

Approach

  • Ran technical discovery with customer teams to find where quotes were actually failing.
  • Translated findings into requirements and BPMN process designs.
  • Designed integrations across Salesforce, SAP, and Configit over REST, SOAP, and GraphQL, with Microsoft Azure.
  • Tested through UAT and supported production troubleshooting after go-live.

Collaboration

The work sat between enterprise customers and Configit's Product and Engineering teams: customer workshops to understand the real business problem, and requirements precise enough for engineers to build against. After go-live, customer enablement helped teams run the new process themselves.

Outcome

Quote-to-order success rose from 86% to 98%, and configuration defects fell from 38 to 2 per month.
