What is Quote.ly?
Quote.ly is for Resellers who use Salesforce
​
Why not just use Salesforce?
Salesforce was not built with variable costs in mind. In fact Salesforce doesn’t natively have costs at all. It’s all based on price books that change the list price and everything is calculated on discount off of list prices. This method works great for vendors and OEMs, not so well for Resellers. That’s where Quotely comes in.
Why Salesforce?
Almost every salesperson at some point in their career uses or is using Salesforce today. Salesforce is an amazingly powerful CRM. Quotely allows your team to tap into that knowledge and existing experience. All your opportunity data is still there. This just gives you even more data. Since Quotely stores it’s data in Salesforce, the data it provides can be used by Salesforce Einstein for predictability analysis. All the amazing features of Salesforce can be used with Quotely.
