What's new in Glime
Launch: a policy builder, and the product explained by role
New Discount policy
builder — a free tool, no signup: set your thresholds, margin floor, and ceiling, see how
many quotes each rung would actually route, and take away a written policy you can adopt
whether or not you ever use Glime.
New Glime by role — the same product
from four seats at the discount conversation: RevOps,
sales leaders,
the deal desk, and Finance,
each naming what Glime does not do for that seat.
New Blog:
where should your discount thresholds actually
sit? — pick them from your own quote distribution rather than from round numbers.
Improved The homepage, approvals page, and ROI
calculator now hand off to each other: estimate the leakage, then set the thresholds that
recover it.
Launch positioning: discount governance, front and centre
New Discount approval
workflows — a page for the thing Glime is actually best at: the default ladder, what the
server refuses (403 self-approval, 409 out-of-order, 422 past the ceiling), and what Finance
gets on the other side.
New Comparisons against the tools a governance buyer
really shortlists — DealHub,
Conga CPQ, Subskribe, and
QuoteWerks.
Improved Every comparison page now
scores Glime and the alternative on the same eight governance dimensions, and names the cases
where the other product is the better buy.
Improved Site-wide copy and structured data re-anchored
on "CPQ-native CRM with discount approval governance" rather than "a modern CRM".
A real backend: hosted API, accounts, and multi-user approvals
New Hosted Postgres backend — records outlive the browser,
and a workspace is shared by real teammates rather than one tab.
New Real authentication — bcrypt passwords, signed sessions,
and server-enforced multi-tenant isolation on every query.
New Multi-user approvals — a rep and their manager act on
the same quote. The chain is decided by the server: role-gated, ordered, and closed to
self-approval.
New Roles & invites — Admin invites Sales Rep, Sales
Manager, Regional Director, and Finance; approval authority follows the role.
Improved Pricing and blended margin are calculated
server-side, so the number an approver sees is the number that gets stored.
Configurator v2: bundles, price books, guided selling, a customer portal & more
New Product bundles — sell one part number made of many,
with required, optional, and choose-one components; fixed or rolled-up pricing; rules see
through bundles automatically.
New Price books — partner, regional, or negotiated price
lists layered over the portfolio, partial by design, with CSV round-trip and per-line
provenance on every quote.
New Customer quote portal — a revocable link where your
customer views the pinned document, toggles the options you marked optional, asks questions in
a thread, and accepts with a signature. Views are tracked; margin and cost never leave the building.
New Guided selling — questionnaires that assemble a draft
quote from plain answers, validated by your rules like any other quote.
New Canvas view & capacity meters — a visual
configuration surface with live compatibility feedback; blocked products dim with the reason
before you add them.
New Renewals — one click drafts the renewal from an
accepted quote: recurring lines carried forward, uplift applied as a labeled adjustment,
one-time lines dropped.
New Insights — rule fire counts, recommendation
acceptance, discount pressure against your bands, and the approval funnel.
New Governance — capability splits per workspace, approval
delegation with an SLA clock, parallel approval steps, and scheduled price change sets that
publish atomically with one-click rollback.
New Assistant drafts — paste a freeform price list or
describe a rule in a sentence; the assistant drafts into the standard editors and nothing is
saved until you review it.
CPQ revenue controls: approval chains, margin protection & quote lifecycle
New Discount approval workflows — discounts above your
self-serve limit route through a Sales Manager → Director → Finance chain before a quote
can be finalized. Denials carry a reason back to the rep; every decision is audit-logged.
New Margin protection — per-line and blended margin
(internal only, never on the customer document), with a floor warning on thin lines.
New Quote lifecycle — mark finalized quotes accepted (with
signer) or rejected (with reason), both immutable; expired quotes are flagged and can't be
accepted; clone any quote as a fresh draft to reprice or counter.
New Printable proposals — one click prints just the pinned
customer document, ready to save as PDF and send.
Improved Editing a quote that's pending approval
resets its chain — approvers only ever sign off on the numbers in front of them.
Commercial release: revenue analytics, Slack, a guided tour & a real brand
New Quote-to-cash analytics on the dashboard — win rate,
quote cycle time, and discount leakage, computed live from your pipeline and CPQ quotes.
New Forwardable reports — download the dashboard as CSV or
print/save it as a PDF.
New Slack integration — paste an incoming-webhook URL in
Settings and finalized quotes notify your channel.
New Guided tour in the sandbox — four steps from "this is
the real product" to your free trial.
New The Glime mark — a real logo in the header, plus a
brand assets page for press and partners.
Improved AI summaries now run on a configurable model
endpoint (falling back to instant local summaries), metered as before.
Fixed The sandbox tour no longer hides behind the
cookie-consent bar.
Growth release: command palette, onboarding, audit trail & more
New Command palette — press Ctrl+K
anywhere to fuzzy-search every record, object, and action.
New First-run onboarding checklist with progress tracking.
New Visible audit trail — every change, who and when, in the app.
New CSV import from Salesforce, HubSpot, and Dynamics exports.
New One-click full workspace export (JSON) and right-to-delete.
New AI usage metering — credits visible in Settings.
Improved Stable record URLs — links no longer break when data changes.
Improved Full mobile layouts: scrollable keycap bar, stacked field cards.
Improved Keyboard navigation and screen-reader support across the app.
Improved Skeleton loading states — no more blank flashes.
Fixed Client errors are now captured and inspectable in Settings → Diagnostics.
Proposal previews with per-unit branding
New Quote records render a live proposal preview with line
items, totals, and business-unit branding.
Improved Quote version timeline shows per-version
totals and change descriptions.
Sandbox environments for every workspace
New Read-only public sandbox with sample data — the
product is the demo.
New Separate sandbox/production runtime configuration for
self-hosted deployments.
The seven-object revenue cycle
New Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Quotes, Contracts, and Sales Orders with related-object drill-downs and AI summaries on every record.
