Native. Lean. Visual.

A smarter way to quote in Salesforce

Red Orange Technologies and Appero have partnered to help Salesforce customers in the Nordics and India create accurate, professional proposals directly in Salesforce — without the complexity of traditional CPQ.


Already using Salesforce Sales Cloud?
You may be closer to better quoting than you think.

Still building quotes in Word or Excel?

Your sales process is in Salesforce. Why is your quoting process somewhere else?

Many organisations run their sales process in Salesforce but leave the CRM when it is time to create the actual customer proposal.

Pricing is calculated in spreadsheets. Quotes are assembled in Word. Discounts are checked manually. Documents are copied, edited and sent between colleagues.

Every additional manual step creates friction between opportunity and quote.

Keep the entire quoting process where your sales process already lives: Salesforce.


Eliminate the friction. Automate the flow. Close deals faster.

CPQ Light, built natively for Salesforce

appero quote focuses on what most Salesforce teams actually need: pricing and professional quote generation inside Sales Cloud — without a full CPQ overhaul. It combines product selection, pricing, discounts, and document generation natively in Salesforce, avoiding the need for a separate CPQ platform.

Native

Built on Salesforce standards, keeping the core quoting process and quotation data inside the Salesforce environment.

Lean

Focused on pricing, quote generation and practical product configuration without unnecessary enterprise complexity.

Visual

Create and edit customer-facing proposals directly in the visual Lightning Editor.

How it works

From opportunity to professional quote

Start from the opportunity

Move directly from a Salesforce Opportunity into the quoting process. Relevant recipients and quote templates can already be available from the opportunity.

Select the right products

Search products, select the right items and work with product information directly inside the quote.

Apply the right pricing

Automate pricing logic including discounts, tiered pricing, surcharges, deductions and price dependencies.

Build the proposal visually

Edit content while keeping the actual customer document in view. Use Salesforce data in the document and maintain control over layout and presentation.

Generate and send

Create a professional customer-facing proposal without rebuilding the document outside Salesforce.

Business benefits

Less administration. More selling. A better quoting process is not only about creating a PDF faster. It is about removing friction from the commercial process.

Faster quote creation

Reduce repetitive manual work between opportunity and customer proposal.

More consistent pricing

Apply defined pricing and discount logic instead of relying on individual spreadsheets.

Professional proposals

Create visually consistent, company-branded customer documents directly from Salesforce.

Better sales data

Keep quotation information connected to the CRM and improve visibility into the pipeline.

Easier administration

Maintain products and pricing through Salesforce-oriented configuration.

Faster time-to-value

Start with the quoting capabilities you actually need, not a large transformation programme.
