The existing commercial documents process had multiple stops calling for manual participation, bringing down the productive time and efficiency of PeopleStrong Team.
Before Revv, the team maintained 40+ Excel Sheets to manage pricing for 100+ products across geographies. To create each price quote for a commercial document, the team member had to copy the associated product and pricing details from Excel Sheets, and fill the deal information in an Excel template. This meant:
Maintaining and updating multiple Excel Sheets was complicated
Due to lack of control, the data was susceptible to errors caused by manual data entry or data replacement by any team member
For each customer, the team member had to draft a commercial document in a Word doc and copy-paste the calculated price quote manually from Excel Sheets.
Before sending a commercial document for the final sign-off from customers, it was emailed to the finance, sales, and legal team for their approval. Tracking each document manually in the approval chain was difficult and time-consuming. The sender had to scroll through non-ending email threads to check on approvers’ feedback and whether the document was approved or rejected. This further increased the turnaround time and delayed sending it to the customers.
Streamline the price quote generation
Get pricing, products, calculations, and documents in one place to create commercial documents easily
Bring uniformity in the quoting process
Accelerate internal approvals on documents
Automate commercial documents workflows
Revv brought the entire commercial document process under one roof, bringing consistency and speed to it - from creation to approval and eSignatures.
Form-based templates to speed up document generation: The team created 55+ business templates spanning across different business categories by using Revv’s easy-to-use and feature-rich editor.
What further eased the whole document creation process is Revv’s form fields feature. This is one of the favorite features of the PeopleStrong team. With it, the team converted the repetitive fields in a document (like name, company name, etc.) into form fields, the fillable placeholders in a document. The moment they enter the detail in a form field, it automatically populates throughout the document, wherever that form field is added.
In-built quoting engine to create price quote within the document: Now the sales team picks the product and pricing details and creates a price quote right within their commercial document.
Revv’s quoting engine has made this possible. It has also eliminated any scope for ambiguity among the team members regarding the accessibility of the latest price books. The price books are created and standardized at the organization level, leaving no room for inaccuracy and data errors.
Increased control and compliance over document content: The Commercials Team controls the accessibility of templates by assigning them only to authorized users. This allows the creators to maintain confidentiality and it doesn’t overwhelm or confuse the users with unnecessary templates.
Formalized internal approval workflows: Now the internal approval process runs on logic and moves in a controlled manner. It only gets triggered when the data meets the defined criteria. The approvals move in a specified manner among the approvers.
Automated email notifications are sent to the approvers to take action on the document. The sender and approvers collaborate within the document to discuss the changes, thus eliminating the pain of back and forth emails.
Faster closures with bank-grade eSignatures: Final sign-offs by customers are made simpler with Revv’s legally enforceable electronic signatures. The customer signs the document electronically in just a few clicks using the device of their choice.
Enhanced visibility and transparency with real-time tracking: The team keeps a tab on all the actions taken on a document through the Activity feature. This includes the date and time when the document is created, when it is sent for approval, where’s the hold-up, who has opened and seen the document and who hasn’t, etc. The team is now capable to intervene at the right time, remove the roadblocks, and speed up the document closure process.
"As we’re expanding beyond geographical boundaries, it becomes extremely crucial to empower our team & standardize the process to minimize human errors. Through intensive shortlisting on contract management tools, Revv stood out."
