Ability to leverage Powerpoint

Geodis is strongly pushing for Proposal Builder 2.0 and the ability to support Powerpoint slides. Please advise if this would ever be taken into consideration. Use cases include to extend Proposal Builder's reach such as more presentation - type materials that need to include more narratives like product, bios, and historicals of the company that could easily be pulled together by marketing, sales, and proactive reach of proposals.

Hi @kristen - We have Powerpoint Proposal implementation in the roadmap.

Kristen Lupo

Awesome, thank you @Karthik Kumar ! Is there any type of shareable timeline I can give them?

Karthik Kumar

Do you think final PDF document converted to PPT would help as a starting point. @kristen @Samuel Wynter .

Hi @karthikumar

chatted with dawn from e2open and she advised they really need the functionality of powerpoint. exporting to powerpoint wont really get them where they need to be. ideally, they'd like to house the deck within responsive and pick and choose slides, much like lookup in powerpoint.

she also offered to introduce us to their solutions analyst that would be happy to offer addiitonal insights if you'd like a call

Sure, we can connect with them to know their expectations.

@Kristen We have planned it in our roadmap. First we need to do POC, based on that we can confirm which Quarter we can able to accomplish it.
Meantime, as you mentioned connecting with them to know their expectation would help.

Advocating for EquiLend, who would ideally like to rely heavily on Proposal Builder, and their leadership prefers to have their proposals in PowerPoint.
