January Product Updates: A Faster, Leaner Start to 2026

January is when teams set New Year’s resolutions — streamline processes, cut friction, and start the year a little stronger than the last.

That mindset carried straight into this month’s Quotivity updates.

Instead of shipping a long list of changes, we focused on tightening the core: making pricing more reliable, automation smoother, and unlocking a few new capabilities that help teams quote with less effort and more confidence.

Here’s what’s new.

⚡ Performance & Reliability Optimizations

January’s updates were centered around making Quotivity faster, more reliable, and easier to automate—and unlocking a few new capabilities as a result.

Pricing Engine Optimizations

We made some major optimizations to our multi-layer pricing engine. Quotivity customers have a lot of tools at their disposal when it comes to modeling pricing: Volume pricing, Pricing Tables, Product Variants — and Calculated Pricing. We've streamlined how, when, and where this happens, making it faster and more flexible.

In the coming weeks you'll see some updates here, including support for new pricing models like Graduated Pricing and Stair-step pricing. 

More Background Job Optimizations

We made some big updates to how background jobs update your quotes, and over the last few weeks we've squeezed a bit more juice out of this baby. You should expect to see fewer "Optimizing" messages and they should be a little quicker.

A couple nice, neat new features

We're going to have a lot more to share in the coming weeks — the team is working on some pretty big, exciting new features. But we slipped this neat little feature in, using HubSpot's new Line Item calculated fields feature:

Absolute Discount Amount and Percentage

We've added two new fields to the Line Item:

• Absolute Discount Amount

• Absolute Discount Percentage

Just about every Quotivity customer builds rules based on line item discounts. Until now, that meant administrators either had to train sales reps to always discount using a specific field (amount or percentage), or create duplicate rules to account for both.

For example, a rule like “Require approval if any line item is discounted more than 20%” only worked if reps consistently used percentage-based discounts. If a rep entered a $25 discount for a $100 item amount instead, the rule wouldn’t fire.

With Absolute Discount fields, reps can discount however they want — by amount or percentage — and administrators can enforce discount policies with a single, reliable rule.

PDF Download Link Event

When a quote PDF is published, we now post the PDF download URL back to the Deal as an event. 

This makes it easier to:

• Trigger workflows once the final PDF is ready
• Store or sync the signed quote automatically
• Power downstream processes without manual steps
