We are an office wholesale and retail company in Los Angeles and we're also assessing the system. So far I found two main problems for us, one is that if products don't exist you can't use them in a deal i.e. you cannot create a product just by filling in fields in a deal, that product must exist as a separate record. This is tough when we have over 300,000 SKUs. The other big problem is that individual line discounts and deals do not convert to Quickbooks, since in everywhere in the world except for India Quickbooks does not allow line item discounting

I'm outside of your industry, but I've implemented PD in multiple industries over Salesforce and other CRMs I've evaluated over the years for integration into a company's tech stack. PD is a great tool but like any tool there are a lot of wrong ways to use it. I can share some do's and don'ts if you want to chat.

Hi Andy! Our first exposure to Pipedrive was through a manufacturer who also uses the platform all the way through to production orders. For them, the single sales objective information had to be 100% perfect or their system would reject something as incomplete. Which of course can be great, it prevents mistakes on orders. As a rep group, we have found that the only way we can use Deals is to consider them as 'buckets' for our forecasting and project development. Since we have multiple Deals with the same vendor or specifier, the emails often land in the wrong 'bucket' or multiple 'buckets'. We've added a lot of extra fields to track each order for our dealers.

So how do you quote? On a separate system?
