In Salesforce, you can create quotes directly from Opportunities — no external tools needed. For many teams, that’s perfectly sufficient until more specific requirements come into play: discounts, multiple languages, or brand-compliant layouts. With apps like Finblick, you can automate these steps, save time, and generate quotes right inside Salesforce — faster, simpler, and more modern.

Why Are So Many Companies Looking For Apps to Create Quotes in Salesforce?

Many organizations use Salesforce to manage their entire sales process – from lead capture to closing deals.

But when it comes to creating quotes, it quickly becomes clear: Salesforce’s standard features cover the basics but reach their limits when it comes to automation and customization of the quoting process. Many teams want more flexibility – for example, with layouts, automatic discounts, or multilingual quotes. They also want to easily include terms and conditions or product sheets directly within Salesforce.

The alternative to Salesforce’s built-in quoting tools is often specialized CPQ systems – powerful, but also complex to configure and costly to license.

For many companies, that’s simply too much. They don’t need an oversized solution – they want a simple, modern, and affordable tool that covers the essentials right out of the box.

That’s where Finblick comes in: a modern app that helps automate the quote creation process in Salesforce – with automated discounts, multilingual text blocks, and customizable layouts. This way, teams can keep their existing workflows while saving time, reducing costs, and minimizing coordination effort.

How Finblick Helps Automate Quote Creation in Salesforce

With the following features and capabilities, Finblick helps you automate your quoting process in Salesforce.

🦾 Automated Discounts and Pricing

Use contracts, accounts, or price books as the basis for your automated discounts and prices.

  • Example I: An account with the status “Gold Partner” automatically receives a 15% discount.
  • Example II: Another account gets a fixed price of €150 for the service “Senior Developer”.

🗣️ Multilingual Quotes & Text Blocks

Use language-dependent text blocks, translated product names and descriptions, and dynamic placeholders. This makes it easy to create quotes in your customers’ preferred language.

  • Example I: The “Standard Header” template text appears in English for English quotes and in German for German ones.
  • Example II: The product description for “Epoché Training” changes automatically based on the quote language.

🧑‍🎨 Headers, Footers, Layout & Branding

  • Flexible corporate identity customization.
  • Dynamic placeholders (e.g., quote date, validity, names).

📜 Document Attachments & Approval Processes

  • Integrate terms and conditions and additional documents directly into the quote.
  • Integration with the Salesforce approval flow.
    E-signatures can also be integrated upon request.

📈 Licensing Models & Scalability

A major advantage of Finblick for many companies when it comes to automating the quoting process in Salesforce is its flexible and scalable licensing model.
This model prevents you from paying for a large set of features you don’t actually need.
According to our customers, that’s a common issue with many other solutions.
