Expedite Commerce

Pros

The system is highly flexible and intuitive and has accommodated our needs to perform CPQ functions. It has also supported our need to manage our Installed Base of products and to allow Parts Ordering after the sale (by both internal support staff and by our customers via ecommerce). Even more importantly, Expedite Commerce has been absolutely instrumental in providing best practices and guidance all the way through the implementation process. They've not just been a "vendor" but more than any software/hardware provider I've worked with historically, they've been a true partner.

Cons

Generally, it's fairly easy to identify missed expectations, but that is not the case with Expedite Commerce. The software and the company have accommodated our needs and exceeded our expectations. The issues we experienced along the way were most often associated with our data or with unclear functional definitions on our part.

Pros

The tool is easy to use and much easier to use than the Salesforce CPQ. This tool is not overly complex and once you understand the data model it is easy to make changes. The team and support have been very helpful to answer questions and resolve concerns.

Cons

A lot of the automation is built-in workflows so it will take some time to migrate these to flow in the coming year.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Expedite Commerce

Pros

I love the fact that our sales team can now create their own proposals, add discounts, add and remove items easily by the paths we have set up. It allows us to focus more on the billing aspects and lets the sales team provide proposals at any hour of the day without waiting for the finance department to do it for them.

Cons

I do feel it is a little clunky in its ability to add items to an invoice and attach documents when sending a proposal. I would like it to offer templates for particular types of sales without having to see a list of attachments to choose.

Pros

Their customer service is probably the best part about Expedite Commerce. The product is very easy to set up and use out of the box, but EC has also been willing to go above and beyond in helping us to customize the solution to meet our unique business needs. For example, they worked with us to create monthly, quarterly, and annual regional billing cycles while adding important validations and protections to ensure the integrity of our bill runs. They have acted as an invaluable extension of our internal IT department in providing the right solutions for our company and our customers.

Cons

I don't have any significant complaints about the Expedite Commerce solution. Their Service Desk has quickly resolved all issues that we have raised, and they have steadily added features and implemented requested changes in a timely fashion to keep our projects moving forward.

Pros

Expedite Commerce has been a True partner to Core Health and Fitness, they have built and developed many of our customer-facing tools when it comes to transaction management and has helped tailor unique tools that have separated us from the competition in our market.

Cons

There are some promotional features that we need but Expedite Commerce has these on the roadmap and has helped prioritize the items we need the most.
