Which Revenue Management Product Am I Using?
Learn the differences between Agentforce Revenue Management, Salesforce CPQ, and Industries CPQ, and find out which one you're using in Salesforce.
Agentforce Revenue Management is the current revenue management product from Salesforce. It's where all new development happens, aligned with an API-first, agent-powered product strategy.
However, this wasn't always the case. As recently as 2025, Salesforce offered three revenue management products:
| Product Name | Other Names | Architecture |
|---|---|---|
| Salesforce CPQ | Revenue Cloud, SteelBrick | Managed package |
| Industries CPQ | CME managed package, Vlocity | Managed package |
| Agentforce Revenue Management | Revenue Cloud, Revenue Cloud Advanced (RCA), Revenue Lifecycle Management (RLM) | Salesforce Platform |
As business models shifted toward subscriptions, consumption-based pricing, and self-service portals, the limitations of managed packages became apparent. Customers needed a quoting and revenue engine that processes massive volumes of data, integrates with ERPs, and serves pricing to omnichannel environments (such as B2B Commerce or partner portals) via APIs. Updating the old managed package architecture to meet these demands wasn't technically feasible or strategically aligned.
Salesforce built Agentforce Revenue Management from the ground up. Instead of a managed package, it's built directly on the Salesforce Platform. It uses standard objects, an API-first approach, and a composable architecture. Instead of relying on a single, rigid quoting system, businesses call upon independent pricing, product catalog, and configuration engines from anywhere. A sales rep building a quote and a customer checking out on a self-service website use the same underlying engines.

Check the User Interface
If you don't have access to Setup, look at the interface you use to build or edit quotes.

| A Transaction Line Editor on standard Quote or Order records. You add products with a Browse Catalog or Product Discovery action and manage products with the Product Catalog Management app. | Agentforce Revenue Management |
