Founder’s Perspective: Doubling Down on What Matters Most
At Zomentum, our mission has always been to empower users with the best tools for managing quotes and proposals. Over the years, we've listened to your feedback and observed how you utilize our platform. This has led us to a decision to refine our focus and deliver what you value the most – exceptional quoting and proposal capabilities.
Why We're Deprecating Certain Features
Yesterday, we began the process of deprecating a few features on our platform. This isn't a step back but a strategic move to concentrate our efforts on enhancing the areas that truly make a difference in your daily operations. We understand that change can sometimes be unsettling, but we want to assure you that this decision is made with your best interests in mind.
Doubling Down on Quotes and Proposals
Our primary goal is to excel at what our audience already loves for creating and managing quotes and proposals. We're committed to making these processes even more seamless and efficient. Here are some exciting developments on the horizon:
1. Embedding Zomentum into Your Workflow
We are working towards integrating Zomentum deeply into your existing Microsoft and Google Docs workflows. This means you'll be able to create and manage quotes and proposals directly within the platforms you use daily without switching platforms. This integration aims to enhance productivity and streamline processes, making working within your preferred environments more effortless than ever. We will be reaching out to you soon for an early beta!
2. Enhanced Editor Capabilities
We've heard your feedback regarding the limitations of our current editor. In response, we are prioritizing significant improvements to make your editing experience smoother and more intuitive. Our enhanced editor will give you greater flexibility and control, ensuring that your quotes and proposals look precisely how you want them to.
3. AI-Powered Quotation Tools
Innovation is at the core of our strategy, and we're leveraging AI to change how you create quotes fundamentally. Here are three features we're excited about the most:
- AI Builder: An all-new way to create quotes and proposals, sections, content, images, and testimonial sections. We are going to make creating quotes even faster.
- Products and Services Recommendation Engine: While creating a quote, our intelligent engine will suggest SKUs that complement the items you've already added. For instance, if you've added a new laptop, we suggest a backup recovery service or a monitor that pairs well with it. Additionally, we'll recommend products and services (available and maximizing profit margin) based on technical specifications, acknowledging that MSPs often sell based on specs rather than specific models.
- Pricing Engine: Our new pricing engine will provide insightful data on retail pricing for the products and services you include in your quotes. This feature will consider your past sales and current market trends, giving you a comprehensive understanding of pricing dynamics. With these insights, you can make more informed pricing decisions and offer competitive quotes.
Reallocating Resources for Maximum Impact
To bring these innovations to life, we need to reallocate our resources. This means focusing our bandwidth on initiatives that add maximum value to your experience. Deprecating certain features that saw low adoption is necessary to ensure we can deliver the enhancements you've been asking for.
Commitment to the MSP Industry
We want to emphasize that this shift in focus does not signal a departure from our commitment to the MSP industry. On the contrary, it represents a renewed dedication to serving you better. By concentrating on the core functionalities that matter most, we're positioning Zomentum as an even more powerful tool in your arsenal.
Core Features: PSA Integrations, Distributor Integrations, and Payments
Rest assured, the core features that you rely on daily, such as PSA, distributor integrations and payment processing, will not only remain intact but will also see continuous improvements. Our users have adopted these features, and we are committed to making them even better. We aim to ensure that every aspect of Zomentum contributes to your business's seamless, efficient workflow.
Looking Ahead
These changes will significantly enhance your experience with Zomentum, making it easier for you to create compelling quotes and proposals and, in turn, win more deals. Our team is excited about the future and is working tirelessly to bring these improvements to you as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. These changes will enable us to provide you with an even better Zomentum experience.
Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback.
Warm regards,
Rahil,
Co-founder and CTO
