Conga is a revenue lifecycle management platform that combines CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote), contract lifecycle management, and document generation in a single suite built natively on Salesforce. It is the go-to solution for companies with complex product configurations, multi-tier pricing, and high-volume contract workflows that outgrow Salesforce's native quoting capabilities.
Product Overview
Conga CPQ guides sales reps through configuring complex products and bundles, applying the correct pricing rules, and generating accurate quotes — preventing the pricing errors and approval bottlenecks that slow enterprise deals. Conga Contracts then takes over once a deal is won, managing the negotiation, redlining, and execution of the resulting agreement with full audit trail. Conga Composer handles document generation for any Salesforce record — proposals, SOWs, order forms, invoices — merging live CRM data into professional, brand-consistent templates. Together, the suite eliminates the manual handoffs between quote, contract, and order that create revenue leakage.
Key Features
- Configure Price Quote (CPQ): Guide reps through complex product configuration with rules-based pricing, discount guardrails, and approval workflows.
