Best Conga Alternative for Quote-to-Order Teams (2026)
Many companies reach a specialist quoting vendor when they already have a quoting problem. Others look for a Conga alternative because their quotes are simpler, and they would rather have the quote, the order and the customer record in the same place. This page helps you decide which situation you are in.
Diagnose your quote-to-order process
- How configurable is the product? Fixed catalogue lines are easier than bundles with rules and dependencies.
- Who builds quotes? If reps wait for a back-office team, speed is the problem; if approvals are the problem, workflow is.
- What happens after acceptance? If someone retypes the quote as an order, you are paying for the same data twice.
- How do customers see products? A shared catalogue can remove many quote requests.
- Do contracts matter? If contracts are a core need, test that module separately.
What Millisave provides for a simpler quote-to-order flow
A representative can prepare a quote for an interested contact in Sales & Marketing, or start from a customer who submitted a quotation request from a shared catalogue. The e-catalogue can show or hide prices, stock and discounts, apply per-product or per-catalogue discounts, restrict access to known customers who verify their identity, and expire. Reminders tell the sales team when a share was not opened.
When the customer accepts, the quote becomes a sales order. Orders use approval chains, delivery notes, bills and payments from the same engine finance already knows from purchasing. Minimum sales quantities set on the product can apply to catalogue shares, with an override for a specific share.
Why the connected catalogue matters
Each product record in Digital Catalog carries three prices (actual, estimated and weighted average), discounts, stock levels and linked suppliers. A rep quoting a product therefore works from the same record that purchasing used to buy it. Sales Engine starts from that record to find buyers, and the CRM tracks the deal. The AI proposes which companies to approach and drafts campaign segments, and people decide what to send.
Governance on both sides of the order
Because sales orders share an engine with purchasing, the controls finance already uses apply to selling as well. Approval chains can be set per workspace and module, delegation is time-bound, and the action board lists every approval waiting on a person. Dashboards show sales performance next to savings, so a manager reads both sides of the margin in the same place.
When Conga may be the better choice
If you sell configurable products with complex pricing logic, need contract and document automation as a standalone programme, or run price optimisation across many channels, Conga's published product list is the closer match. Millisave is not positioned as a specialist CPQ or CLM replacement.
A practical test
Take three recent quotes: one simple, one with discounts and one with an unusual condition. Ask each vendor to rebuild them and show the resulting order. A 30-minute Millisave demo will walk through the Millisave version.

Frequently asked questions
What is a simpler alternative to Conga CPQ?
For companies quoting from a defined catalogue, Millisave offers quotations, an e-catalogue that customers can request quotes from, and sales orders on the same engine as purchasing. It suits mid-market manufacturers and distributors, and it is not designed for highly configurable product bundles.
Can customers accept quotes without an account?
Yes. Customers can accept or reject a Millisave quotation through a link without logging in. The quotation moves through draft, sent, viewed and accepted, rejected or expired, and an accepted quotation can convert to a sales order for fulfilment and billing. Reminders are available for shares that have not been opened.
Can I control what customers see in an e-catalogue?
Yes. The sales team can show or hide prices, stock and discounts, set an expiry, assign a salesperson and brand the page. A share can be restricted to known customers who verify their identity. Catalogue links are secure and tied to recipients, and are not publicly browsable.
Does Millisave handle contracts?
Millisave has a contracts module in Source to Pay, with approval and scheduled expiry notifications, and contract usage compared with orders. It is built for supplier contracts around purchasing. Teams that need a specialist contract lifecycle product for sales agreements should test their requirements in a demo.
