Overview of Zuora CPQ

Subscription businesses that use Salesforce for Sales and Customer Support face some unique challenges

1	Product managers can't price and package the right way	Your business wants to roll out free trials and time based promotions, they want to introduce pricing plans that include charges with varying billing frequencies, they want to create usage and overage based pricing plans and more. But your Salesforce product catalog is unable to support these pricing models.
2	It's hard to nurture the complete subscriber lifecycle	Beyond initial subscription sign-ups, sales reps cannot support the ongoing life cycle of upgrades, add-ons, renewals and more.
3	No visibility into billing and payment information	Sales and service teams don't have relevant billing and payment information at their fingertips when interacting with customers.
4	You're unable to get the metrics you need	You are increasingly measuring the health of your business using both traditional financial metrics alongside subscription operational metrics such as MRR, TCV, churn and renewal rates, but you are unable to get these metrics from Salesforce.
5	Sales and billing processes aren't tightly integrated
