What is Quote-to-Cash?

The quote-to-cash process refers to all the applications used to manage customer interactions, from pricing and invoicing to purchasing and revenue recognition. It is generally associated with the integration of customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP)/finance systems to optimize returns on investment. When combined with Configure Price Quote (CPQ) systems, QTC is particularly useful for complex products or services requiring specific configuration.

This process aims to transform business opportunities into profitable, lasting and, ideally, repeat customer relationships.

The QTC virtuous circle:

Configuration

Suggesting the right combination of products and services to meet customer needs.

Rates

Offer the right mix of discounts, promotions and incentives to win customers – without cutting margins.

Quote

Create sales proposals that are reliable, fast and in line with customer expectations.

Contract creation

Creation of secure contracts with details and conditions transmitted to the various parties involved, in particular the legal department.

Contract negotiation

Any changes to contract terms and clauses are automatically forwarded to the legal teams.

Contract performance

Necessary approvals obtained using an electronic signature tool.

Order execution

System automation to ERP to ensure compliance with agreed contractual conditions.

Billing

Send for invoicing to guarantee payment deadlines, record payment and initiate any renewals.

Revenue recognition

Accurate and compliant receipt and accounting of income.

Renewal

Building customer loyalty – encouraging recurring revenues – up-selling and cross-selling in anticipation of the end of a contract.

“Every organization needs to focus on cash flow to maintain a strong financial position and maximize profitability and liquidity. In service-oriented organizations, this process begins with a customer quote and ends once payment has been received and credited to their bank account. This macro-process of converting business opportunities into lucrative customer engagements is often referred to as quote-to-cash, and optimizing it is essential for financial strength.”

As Service Performance Insight points out in its Professional Services Maturity™ Benchmark 2021 study.

FAQ

Welcome to our FAQ section dedicated to Quote-to-Cash solutions. Here you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about the life cycle from configuration to collection and renewal.

Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) and Quote-to-Cash (QTC) are two terms used in the field of contract and sales management.

CLM – Contract LifeCycle Management – refers to theentire contract management process, from creation to negotiation, from signature to management of obligations and renewals. CLM enables companies to effectively manage their contracts throughout their lifecycle, reducing risk and maximizing contract value.

QTC refers to theentire sales process, from the creation of quotations (or sales proposals) to the collection of payments. QTC covers the entire sales cycle, from customer contact through order and inventory management to delivery and invoicing.

So, although the two processes share common ground in that they manage key elements of the sales lifecycle, CLM focuses specifically on contract management, while QTC covers theentire sales process.

The quote-to-cash process is applied and governed by several teams, such as the sales department, the delivery team and the finance department. And while each team has a specific role and function, such as the finance team, responsible for accounts receivable and sales management, all departments need to combine their expertise and work together efficiently and collaboratively.

With a Quote-to-cash solution, all the independent actions that make up the management cycle are managed easily and transparently for all parties involved.
This enables sales staff to efficiently provide accurate information to customers, minimize order and invoicing errors, and improve data analysis and forecasting.

A Quote-to-Cash solution helps reduce errors and delays in several ways:

  • automation of manual tasks in the sales process, such as quotation creation, contract management and invoicing, reducing human error and delays in order processing.
  • order validation and verification, ensuring that all orders comply with company policies and regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of errors and inconsistencies.
  • real-time visibility of order status, enabling sales and customer service teams to track order progress and ensure that customers receive their products or services on time, thus reducing order delays and cancellations.

QTC speeds up payment and improves cash flow thanks to several factors:

  • Electronic invoicing and online payment, enabling customers to pay their invoices quickly and easily online, reducing payment times and the cost of manual invoice processing.
  • Real-time visibility of payments and pending invoices, enabling finance teams to monitor payment performance and take action to resolve late payments or overdue invoices.
  • Cash management, such as cash flow forecasts and cash flow reports, enabling finance teams to monitor corporate cash flows and make informed decisions on investments and growth strategies.
