Tips & Tricks July 2026: NorthStar QuoteValet Templates

Introducing the QuoteWerks NorthStar QuoteValet Templates: A Modern Quoting Experience

Delivering a quote is about much more than presenting pricing. Buyers expect an intuitive, interactive experience that makes it easy to review options, ask questions, approve purchases, and complete transactions online. The NorthStar QuoteValet template for QuoteWerks was designed with exactly that goal in mind.

NorthStar represents the next generation of QuoteValet templates, replacing the traditional online quote with a modern, customer-focused interface that streamlines the entire quote-to-cash cycle.

A Modern Customer Experience

The NorthStar template features a clean, responsive design that presents quotes in a professional and easy to navigate format. Rather than simply displaying a PDF online, NorthStar transforms the quote into an interactive webpage that guides customers through every stage of the buying process.

The updated interface reduces friction, improves readability, and creates a polished experience that reflects the professionalism of your organization.

Interactive Quote Review

One of NorthStar's greatest strengths is its interactive functionality. Customers can engage directly with the quote instead of requesting multiple revisions from the sales team.

Key capabilities include:

• Selecting optional products and services

• Adjusting quantities on approved line items

• Viewing pricing updates instantly

• Comparing available options before making a decision

 

This flexibility helps eliminate unnecessary email exchanges and allows customers to build the solution that best meets their needs.

Improved Collaboration

NorthStar keeps communication within the quoting process by providing built-in customer actions. Rather than leaving the quote to send separate emails, customers can:

• Submit questions directly to the sales representative

• Upload supporting documents

   

• Review attached Terms & Conditions

   

• Access other active quotes associated with their organization

Keeping these interactions within QuoteValet creates a more organized sales process while reducing delays.
 
Editable Delivery Information

Shipping errors can create unnecessary order delays. NorthStar allows customers to review and update delivery information before accepting the quote.

By enabling customers to correct addresses or delivery details themselves, businesses can reduce fulfillment mistakes and improve order accuracy.

Streamlined Quote Acceptance

The acceptance workflow has also been modernized. Customers can:

• Electronically accept the quote
• Enter purchase order numbers
• Add comments
• Capture electronic signatures
• Complete payment when payment options are enabled

Rather than simply recording a "yes," NorthStar collects all the information needed to move directly into order processing.

Better Visibility After Acceptance

Once the quote has been approved, customers receive clear next steps. They can:

• Download a signed copy of the quote
• Review accepted details
• Continue to payment (if available)

This provides confidence that the transaction has been completed successfully while minimizing post-sale confusion.

Light and Dark Mode Support

NorthStar also introduces a customer selectable Light Mode and Dark Mode interface. Although primarily a visual enhancement, it reflects the modern web experience users have come to expect and improves accessibility for customers who prefer darker viewing environments.

Benefits for Sales Teams

While NorthStar improves the customer experience, it also provides measurable benefits for sales organizations:

• Faster quote approvals

• Fewer quote revisions

• Reduced administrative work

• Better customer engagement

• More accurate order information

• A shorter quote-to-cash cycle

   

Sales representatives spend less time managing revisions and more time closing opportunities.

Flexible Adoption

New QuoteValet customers automatically receive the NorthStar templates as their default experience. Existing QuoteValet users can migrate when it best fits their business.

This optional adoption approach allows organizations to evaluate the new interface, test existing workflows, and transition at their own pace without disrupting active sales opportunities.
