What's new in Glime
Check it yourself: ten ways to verify Glime without trusting us
New The discount leakage
audit runs your own quote history through the engine that prices a live quote — in your
browser, on a page whose security policy forbids it from uploading anything — and hands the
policy it suggests to your trial as a draft.
New Industry starter packs for
MSPs, light manufacturers, distributors, agencies and B2B SaaS: a catalogue, menus, a template and
an approval ladder, imported as a draft you publish.
New Approve from anywhere: a one-tap decision link in the
approver's email that works once and checks their role when they tap, a Review button in your own
Slack or Teams channel, and a daily digest.
New The governance report: what your discount policy routed,
let through and cost, every month in the inbox of whoever renews — plus a forwardable, revocable
readout that carries figures and never records.
New Your customer accepts on the quote link with a record that
holds up — a code sent to their email, their consent, and the fingerprint of exactly what they saw —
can require their CFO too, asks for changes in words, and pays on the invoice link your own
QuickBooks or Xero replies with.
New The advisor seat: your bookkeeper or outside controller holds
the Finance rung with their own sign-in, without taking a seat. For advisors.
New Two-factor sign-in and Sign in with Google or Microsoft on
every plan, a device list, and a fresh second factor for the largest approvals.
Improved The audit trail is a hash chain the database
refuses to rewrite; verify your export offline. Every approved quote
carries a certificate, and the order sent to your ERP cites it. Postgres row-level security now walls
every request to its own workspace.
Improved Billing that can't surprise you: the 30-day
guarantee is a button, nothing renews on its own, notices go out before a term ends, and the per-seat
price you paid is held for 12 months.
Improved Every claim on this site
is now listed beside the test that proves it, and CI fails when one stops being true.
Setup now measures the thing that matters
Improved The home screen checklist is
about governance, not features. It used to ask you to open a record and try the
command palette. It now asks for the three things that make the product a control rather
than a CRM: set your self-serve limit, invite an approver, send one quote above that limit
— and then shows whether it was decided. Nothing is ticked by clicking: every step is read
back off your workspace, so a quote a teammate routes this morning ticks it in your browser
too.
New The same card prints your quote, approval and
decision counts and your self-serve share — the share of quotes that never needed an
approver. Under about 70% usually means your first threshold is too tight.
New The 30-day rollout
guide — the day-by-day version of week one, the two numbers to watch from week two, and
the four questions worth asking at day 30. Free, and written to work with any CPQ.
Roles & permissions: everyone gets the workspace they should see
New Four roles, enforced end to end — Admin, Sales
Manager (plus the Director and Finance approval tiers), Sales Representative, and a
Read-Only Viewer for the executives and analysts who need the numbers and none of the
buttons.
New Team & roles in the app: see
your own capabilities in plain language, the whole permission matrix, and who approves what.
Admins change a teammate's role from the same page — no sign-out, effective on their next
click, and recorded in the audit trail.
New Record visibility follows the role. A rep sees the
records they own or are assigned; managers, Finance, and viewers see the workspace. A
filtered list says so out loud, so a short list never reads as a broken import.
New Cost and margin are masked for Read-Only Viewers,
and deleting a record is an Admin-only action — everything else archives.
Improved Nobody signs off their own discount, not
even a manager or an Admin's own approver tier: a quote you raised escalates. Approvers get a
Waiting on you queue on the home page listing only the steps they can
actually clear.
Improved When a role blocks something, Glime says
which role you are, what's missing, and who can change it — never a bare "forbidden".
Built for 50–200 people, and priced like it
New Launch offer — 50% off
Professional for three months with code SMB50,
August 13 to September 13. The estimate calculator prices the promo months and the months
after it separately, so the number on screen is the number on the fourth invoice.
Improved Volume discounts now start at five
seats instead of 25 — the teams this launch is for trial with a handful of seats,
and a discount that only appears at 25 is invisible when they decide.
Improved Every comparison and role page now
answers "at my size" — what a 50–200 person company is actually buying, worked
through the same routing model the policy builder prints,
plus the price arithmetic on the
Salesforce CPQ comparison.
New Why
your Salesforce CPQ trial failed — the three-question diagnostic and the five refusals to
test any CPQ vendor on, ours included.
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.
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.
