Overview
Vendavo Intelligent CPQ is the configure-price-quote product from Vendavo, a commercial-excellence software company specializing in pricing optimization, CPQ, and rebate management for B2B manufacturers and distributors. Vendavo entered CPQ through its July 2017 acquisition of Endeavor Commerce, uniting traditional configure-price-quote capabilities with Vendavo's intelligent pricing science. The company is backed by private equity firm Francisco Partners and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
The product combines product configuration, guided selling, and automated quoting with AI-driven pricing guidance. Vendavo's Ensemble AI applies multiple algorithms to display suggested prices and insights to reps within CPQ, and its Deal Price Optimizer analyzes historical data and market trends to recommend data-driven prices. Additional capabilities include customer segmentation, margin-leakage insights via Profit Analyzer, and discount and incentive management.
Vendavo Intelligent CPQ targets mid-market and enterprise B2B sellers, especially manufacturers and distributors with large product catalogs and complex pricing, that want to protect margin and improve win rates by combining quoting with sophisticated pricing analytics. It integrates with CRM and ERP systems, including Salesforce.
