Quote-to-approval in the deal
CPQ lives on the opportunity: build the quote, apply the discount rules, route the approval — all on the record, all logged. The deal desk stops living in a separate tool that has to be reconciled back to the CRM.
For sales operations and deal desk
Deal desk, comp, and forecast hygiene on one ledger.
Quotes, approvals, compensation, and forecast roll-up read from the same event-sourced rows the AE moves — so the number you defend in the ops review is the number in the system, not a spreadsheet reconciliation. Every rule is auditable; every override leaves a trace.

What you get on day one
Six things you stop juggling.
Compensation you can audit
Commission plans compute against closed-won events, not a month-end export. Reps see their attainment live; ops sees every accrual with the deal and the rule that produced it. Disputes get a trace, not a debate.
Forecast that reconciles itself
Roll-up runs on the event-sourced ledger, so the manager's number, the rep's number, and the board number are the same number derived three ways. Variance from forecast to actual is queryable per stage, per rep, per week.
Lead routing + scoring you control
Define scoring and routing rules in a UI — no engineering ticket. Leads land on the right rep by territory and score the moment they arrive, and every routing decision is logged so you can prove the SLA.
Territory + team scorecards
Territory coverage, quota attainment, and pipeline coverage ratios roll up per team from the same rows. When you re-cut territories, historical attainment doesn't break — it's derived, not stored.
Ops moves your AI can run
Data hygiene, routing, and roll-up are MCP tools. Point your AI at stale opportunities or unrouted leads and it fixes the repetitive path — governed by ops' role, with every change on the audit log.

“The forecast reconciles itself because it's derived from the same rows three ways. I stopped being the person who rebuilds the number in a spreadsheet every Friday.”
