Safeguard your SAP CPQ Investment
Challenge
Over time, even a well-implemented SAP CPQ system can become cluttered. New features are added on top of legacy code, and earlier design decisions may no longer align with evolving business needs. As a result, companies often begin to face challenges such as:
- Slower quote turnaround times
- Inability to configure quotes live with the customer
- Pricing and configuration errors
- Low user adoption
- Underutilized capabilities
- High ownership and maintenance costs
To sustain the value SAP CPQ was designed to deliver, regular system audits and code refactoring are essential.

Let’s start with a quick, no-obligation assessment.
Case
A global company with a heavily customized SAP CPQ system — over 150 scripts with thousands of lines of code and a front-end customized beyond recognition — was facing serious adoption challenges. After years of investment, users were reluctant to use the system, often resorting to preparing quotes offline.
Performance issues were severe: pages frequently froze or timed out, making the system nearly unusable. Frequent pricing errors further eroded trust in the platform, and maintenance costs were spiraling. Hardcoded logic, inconsistent scripting, and lack of modularity made even minor changes risky and time-consuming.
Our audit uncovered over 150 issues, more than 60 of which were rated high or critical in severity. After reviewing our detailed report and recommendations, the company’s leadership acted immediately. Following a focused refactoring effort, we reduced page load times by up to 90% and resolved all critical bugs.
Restored system performance, renewed confidence from the sales team, increased adoption — and plans to roll out the solution across new regions.
