Electrical panel manufacturers · CPQ consulting

Panel options and their prices belong in rules, not in one estimator's memory.

CPQ consulting for a panel shop means writing down which components can sit together in a panel, what each combination costs and who approves an exception, then building those rules into a spreadsheet or a quoting tool. GullySales documents the rules with your estimator, builds the first version and links it to the quote and the order.

What CPQ consulting means

Configure, price and quote (CPQ) means rules that decide which options can be sold together, what each combination costs, and who approves the exception. GullySales writes those rules down, builds them in a spreadsheet or a CPQ tool, and connects the quote to your CRM and order entry.

For electrical panel manufacturers

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Every panel is a variation on a few standard ones”

    Each enquiry is an MCC, a PCC or a distribution board with different incomer ratings, feeders and metering. Sorting the shop's real jobs into a short list of base designs and permitted options shows what can be priced from a rule and what truly needs a fresh estimate.

  • “A component price changes and the sheet does not”

    Breaker, contactor and copper prices move at the supplier's pace. A price file kept by one person drifts out of date, and a quote is built on an old rate. Rules with one place for component prices stop the stale figure from travelling.

  • “Compatibility sits in an engineer's judgement”

    Whether a feeder fits a bus section, or an enclosure takes another tier, is known to the design head. Written as simple checks, the same knowledge lets a sales engineer catch an impossible combination before it reaches the buyer.

  • “The tool is bought before the rules exist”

    A shop sees a quoting package and buys it, then finds nobody has written down the rules to load into it. Writing the rules first shows whether a sheet is enough or a paid tool is worth having.

What we do

What we deliver for electrical panel manufacturers.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. A map of base panels and options

    A sorted list of the panel types you build, the options each one accepts and the ones it refuses.

    Result: You can read, on one sheet, what your shop agrees to build and in which combinations.

  2. Compatibility checks in plain language

    The design head's judgement turned into short if-this-then-that checks that a sales engineer can follow.

    Result: An impossible combination is flagged before it is quoted.

  3. A component and labour price table

    One place for component rates, fabrication and testing charges, with a note of when each was last revised by your team.

    Result: Anyone building a quote draws from the same table, and you can see how old each rate is.

  4. A working quoting sheet or tool setup

    A built version of the rules, as a spreadsheet or a configured quoting tool, and a note of where the sheet stops being enough.

    Result: A first quote can be produced from the rules and compared with one the estimator prepared by hand.

  5. Approval rules for exceptions

    A written note of which departures from the rules need the design head or the owner to sign off.

    Result: Special requests go to a named person instead of being priced by guesswork.

  6. A link to the CRM and the order desk

    A route for the finished quote to reach your CRM or shared sheet and then the order booking, with the same panel description.

    Result: The order desk sees exactly what was quoted and nobody retypes the panel specification.

How the result is measured

  • Corrections made after a quote is sent
  • Approvals requested, and the rule that triggered each
  • Time from complete enquiry to approved quote

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

CPQ consulting for electrical panel manufacturers: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

List the records your team uses and show how an enquiry becomes an order today. Bring examples of duplicate entries, missing owners, and reports that require manual correction.

Make the scope clear

Agree the stages, required fields, access roles, and integrations before configuring the system. Separate software subscriptions from setup, data work, and training.

Check the work in use

Ask the people who will use the CRM to complete a real handover and find the next action without help. Check that the management report can be traced back to individual records.

Know when to change course

If the process is unclear, buying a more complex CRM adds more places for confusion. Start with the minimum fields and rules the team can use consistently.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

How it works

How the CPQ consulting work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Quote walk-through

    We take ten past quotes, including a lost one and an awkward one, and trace how each was built. Your quoting team confirms what the rules really are.

  2. 2

    Rules and price sign-off

    We write the option rules, price structure and approval limits as documents. Your technical lead and owner approve them before any build.

  3. 3

    Route decision

    We put the spreadsheet route and the tool route side by side against your rules. You choose; if a tool is chosen, vendor terms and exit conditions are read first.

  4. 4

    Build and test against past quotes

    We rebuild the ten quotes in the new set-up and compare totals line by line. Differences are either a build error or a rule that was never written down.

  5. 5

    Connection to CRM and order entry

    We set up the agreed handoff of the quote into your CRM and the order or invoice step. Your accounts lead checks a sample order end to end.

  6. 6

    Team handover

    Reps and approvers practise on live enquiries. We name who maintains the price list and who adds new options.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we need a CPQ package to do this?
Not necessarily. A careful spreadsheet is enough while the options stay manageable. We tell you plainly when the rules have outgrown a sheet, and we compare tools only if that is true.
Will you set our prices?
No. GullySales organises the rules and the price table, but the numbers in it are yours and are approved by the owner or the accounts lead.
Our estimator is worried this replaces the job.
The rules take the repeat work off the estimator so the time goes to the unusual panels. The estimator is the person who writes and checks the rules, because no one else knows them.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
