HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PROS® (NYSE: PRO), a provider of SaaS solutions optimizing shopping and selling experiences, today announced that it has been recognized as a Leader by Gartner, Inc. in its 2021 Magic Quadrant for Configure, Price and Quote (CPQ) Application Suites.
PROS believes its Leader positioning is a result of the company’s clear product vision for the PROS Platform as well as deep and broad CPQ capabilities that are proven at enterprise scale, making it the most strategic vendor in the market today. PROS Smart Configure Price Quote has an intuitive end-user interface and features a comprehensive product catalog, market-leading pricing, and superior AI-guided selling capabilities.
“We view this Leader position as a phenomenal accomplishment and a direct result of the passion PROS has for delivering the most innovative solutions to our customers and the market,” said PROS President and Chief Executive Officer Andres Reiner. “I could not be prouder of our teams and the CPQ development we are driving so that every business can adopt and execute true omnichannel sales experiences that meet customers’ expectations every time, all the time in every channel.”
Gartner states that “[c]onfigure, price and quote application suites enable sales organizations to automate and optimize the creation of quotes and capture of orders.” These applications ensure sales organizations can sell complex products or services quickly and consistently, regardless of channel, and in highly personalized ways to meet customer expectations. Gartner further indicates that, “[i]n 2020, the CPQ application market grew by 14.1% to an estimated $1.44 billion,” as part of the accelerated adoption of B2B digital commerce solutions.
