Conga CPQ for Transportation

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Conga CPQ and Billing to configure pricing for Home-To-School bus routes transporting students from home to school and back again. We also use it to price shuttles and field trips. We have integrated Conga/SF with dispatch system via MSAzure to bring in daily usage quantities. We batch up all the quantities at the end of the month to create a monthly invoice for our customers. We also use Conga and SF for reporting to give insight back upstream to our bid/pricing team to standardize pricing/offerings where possible.

Pros

  • Standard Invoice Run
  • Invoice run and send to customer
  • Allow for pricing flexibility

Cons

  • Controls in billing - e.g. don't allow a due date that is prior to invoice date
  • Support - we find that our implementation/use of the product is very different from the core use cases
  • Profuct Catalog/Price list mgmt

Return on Investment

  • We have transformed 60 sites (110 contracts) from customized xls spreadsheets to bill and standardized them in Conga. This resulted in $4M in discovered revenue opportunities. We have another 60 sites to go...
