The firm that has spent two decades fixing the ugliest stretch of B2B selling - the road from quote to cash.
Somewhere right now, a salesperson at a large manufacturer is staring at a quote that won't price correctly. The configuration is wrong. The discount needs three approvals. The billing system speaks a different language than the CRM, which speaks a different language than the ERP. The customer wanted to buy yesterday. This is the moment - the gap between wanting to sell and actually getting paid - where most enterprise revenue quietly leaks away.
Pierce Washington built an entire firm to stand in that gap. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in the redwood-shaded town of Mill Valley, California, it is an enterprise consultancy with one stubborn specialty: quote-to-cash. Not flashy. Not viral. Just the plumbing that decides whether a company's revenue arrives clean or arrives broken.
Configure Price Quote. eCommerce. Subscription billing. ERP integration. Said quickly, it sounds like alphabet soup. Said slowly, it's the difference between a customer who can buy a complex product in five minutes and one who waits five days for a corrected quote. Pierce Washington implements these systems on Salesforce and Oracle, then wires them into the back-office spine - NetSuite, SAP, Oracle - so the numbers match all the way down.
Salesforce CPQ and Oracle CPQ for complex configuration, accurate pricing, and faster proposals - the end of the five-day quote.
Self-service storefronts on Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Oracle CX Commerce, where customers configure and buy on their own terms.
Recurring and consumption-based billing that makes the leap to XaaS and keeps revenue recognition honest.
MuleSoft-led connections that stitch CPQ, commerce, and billing into the ERP backbone - one source of truth.
A Q2C process framework plus app suite blending direct, partner, and self-service channels, mapped by a maturity model.

"87% of B2B buyers say they would pay more for a supplier with a better ecommerce portal." - Pierce Washington, on the economics of Total Commerce
That single statistic is the whole thesis. The better-buying experience isn't a nicety - it's a price premium customers will hand you. Pierce Washington's job is to build the portal that earns it, and to make sure the order that flows out the other end actually closes the books correctly.
Rare humility for enterprise software marketing - and useful, too. Pierce Washington's Total Commerce Maturity Model treats revenue transformation as a road, not a switch. Figure out where you stand, find the gaps, build the roadmap, then move one capability at a time instead of betting the company on a single overnight rebuild. Here is roughly where the value lands when the journey works.

The founders cut their teeth at a global systems integrator, learning how large-scale enterprise software actually gets delivered. Then they left - not to do less, but to do it with sharper, smaller teams. The firm is led by its partners.

Return to that salesperson, that stuck quote. After Pierce Washington has done its quiet work, the picture is different. The configuration validates itself. The price is right the first time. The approval that took three days now takes three clicks - or never leaves the customer's own self-service screen at all. The order flows from CRM to billing to ERP without a human re-typing a single number, and the books close clean.
It's not glamorous work, and Pierce Washington doesn't pretend it is. But the next time a complex enterprise product gets bought, configured, and billed without anyone noticing the friction - that invisible smoothness is the whole point. The deal that was sitting in an inbox is now cash in the bank. That gap, the one where revenue used to leak, is exactly where this firm decided to live.
