B2B Software Maker Zilliant Unveils Quick Start Program
Pricing software maker Zilliant has launched its Zilliant Quick Start Program, designed to allow faster deployment times for its software, which powers intelligent commerce for B2B companies, according to a Thursday (May 19) press release.
The program debuted with the Zilliant Quick Start for Global and Country Price Lists package, the release stated.
“In the past, deploying price optimization and management software may have seemed time intensive or difficult to implement,” according to the release. “As a direct result, pricing and commercial teams rely on spreadsheets to manage pricing, sales operations and commercial functions, a method that is insufficient to respond to today’s volatile market conditions.”
Zilliant’s new program reverses this trend by offering packaged solutions that address specific challenges to pricing and sales, each of which can be operational in three to eight weeks, working in tandem with each other on the same platform, the release stated.
“The average time for global companies to update pricing when costs change is between six weeks and four months, which is too slow in today’s economy,” said Zilliant President and CEO Greg Peters. “It’s a process which unfortunately results in significant margin loss. Zilliant’s first Quick Start package for Global and Country Price Lists squarely addresses this challenge, allowing these companies to easily update prices as costs change and keep pace with market volatility.”
The launch of the Quick Start program comes weeks after Zilliant unveiled Next-Generation Price IQ, a new price optimization application.

“Inflation has become the new business reality, exacerbated by supply chain turmoil, increased competition, and dramatic swings in both demand and inventory availability,” the company said last month. “As a result, B2B companies need a faster, more powerful approach to pricing that maintains market alignment while generating prices that are easily explainable and defensible.”
