Creating quotes, calculating projects, comparing variants – in day-to-day sales, one thing matters most: Efficiency without compromising transparency.
The latest version of the online CPQ software pCon.basket delivers exactly that: Stay in control of your calculations at all times, collaborate more effectively, and create quotes that truly convince your customers.
More control in your calculations
Especially in larger projects or when collaborating with colleagues and partners, different calculation schemes are often used. In the past, this could lead to additional coordination efforts or even uncertainty about the results. With pCon.basket 2.16, this is no longer an issue:
The system automatically detects which calculation scheme was last used for a project. When opening the project with a different active scheme, you’ll receive a notification and can decide whether to import the existing calculation results. This ensures greater reliability – particularly when exchanging projects across different systems or environments.
In addition, new rounding rules ensure that item-level and overall net values are displayed exactly as required, consistently across all items.
The new matrix template: Making complexity easy to understand
Many projects include recurring items across different variants or folder structures. This is exactly where the new Quote (Matrix) report comes in. It consolidates identical items and presents them in a clear, structured matrix – including quantities and occurrences.
A key benefit: even complex quotes can be presented in a clear, compact, and professional way.
Further improvements in reporting
We have also enhanced reporting in detail:
- Set articles are automatically broken down in list views for a more realistic representation
- Variant prices can be flexibly shown or hidden (CE version)
- Consistent terminology improves clarity: the category Prices has been renamed to Article Calculation
Optimized workflows for greater transparency
Imagine updating a project and instantly knowing what has changed – that’s exactly what pCon.basket 2.16 offers. After each update, you receive a compact summary of all changes. If needed, you can open a detailed comparison that clearly highlights differences.
Improved Office 365 integration
Access to shared libraries has been optimized: instead of loading all content, the most relevant and recently used sites are displayed first. Additional sites can be found quickly using the integrated search – ideal for larger organizations.
Hyperlinks in project texts
Project texts are now even more flexible: You can easily add and manage links. These are rendered as clickable links in the final PDF – perfect for providing additional information or references.
Additional updates at a glance
Alongside the major enhancements, you’ll benefit from further improvements in your daily work:
- Extended OEX export for user articles
- Predefined file names for uploads to OneDrive and SharePoint
