How Advanced CPQ Manufacturing Software Works
The most robust or “advanced” CPQ solutions, like Epicor CPQ, have additional functionality, providing more than the standard configure, price, and quote components. Features like visual product configuration, CAD-automatisering, and systems integration save manufacturers significant time, effort, and money while enhancing customer experiences.
Stap 1. Visuele productconfiguratie
Users (salespeople, partners, or end customers) configure a product with an intuitive visual product configurator that’s often embedded into the seller’s website. They view a base assembly on-screen and drag and drop to change parts, materials, dimensions, colors, and more–anything’s possible.
Stap 2. Realtime prijsbepaling
De CPQ-software calculates prices in real-time during the configuration process. The price changes as users select different options, enabling product optimization in line with budgets and faster decision-making.
Stap 3. Directe offertes
The CPQ software uses the configuration and price to generate a quote. There’s no more messing around in Excel. Everything’s automated.
Step 4. CAD Automation
De CPQ-software genereert automatisch verschillende aangepaste engineering- en productiedocumenten, waaronder CAD-bestanden, stuklijsten, 3D-weergaven en CNC-cutsheets, en stuurt deze naar de juiste afdeling of ontvanger.
Epicor CPQ biedt klanten:
168% hogere jaarlijkse omzet
38% snellere verkoopcycli
35% toename van de productie
Key Ways CPQ Manufacturing Software is Reshaping the Industry
Modern CPQ for manufacturing goes beyond basic quoting to transform how complex products get configured, priced, and sold. Here are the key ways these solutions are driving change:
Visual Product Configuration is streamlining the design process
Visuele productconfiguratie is een gedigitaliseerde manier om producten te configureren. In plaats van te vertrouwen op pen en papier, configureren gebruikers producten met behulp van een interactieve visuele interface die afgewerkte producten in 3D weergeeft.
Visual product configuration removes all the guesswork from the sales process. Salespeople don’t have to assume what customers want. Customers don’t have to worry about misunderstandings.
Mass Customization enables greater flexibility
Mass customization, where manufacturers produce products tailored to individual customers’ specific needs and preferences, is steadily replacing the traditional mass production approach. CPQ software is purpose-built to give customers as much choice as possible—all without increasing complexity and cost on the back end.
Self-Service improves customer experiences
The modern B2B buyer is different. They don’t want to deal with a salesperson unless forced to. Therefore, manufacturers able to provide a fully self-serve end-to-end buying journey have a massive advantage over their competitors.
CPQ software makes self-serve and eCommerce easy for manufacturers–it doesn’t matter how complex your products are or how many configuration options you provide.
No-Code reduces reliance on expensive developers
The best CPQ software for manufacturing includes no-code rules engines, making it possible for users with no coding ability to create and maintain rules. This provides greater accessibility, reduced costs, greater flexibility, and improved customer experience.
“After initial integration work, the ability to leverage their Snap language to have more of a general business admin vs. a developer administer and build business rules for the tool saves time and money.”
– Ben Roberts, Senior Vice President Marketing, Outdoor Cap Company
“Our sales team previously submitted quotes to our engineering team multiple times for rework until they were correct. With Epicor CPQ, they now create quotes that reflect our engineering rules for our customers immediately.”
Why Choose CPQ Software for Manufacturing?
Epicor CPQ for manufacturing streamlines complex product sales by automating configuration, pricing, quoting, and CAD output—all without relying on engineering for every order. Customers, distributors, and sales reps can confidently configure products in real time, receive instant pricing, and generate accurate production documents in minutes.
Vereenvoudig en verkort uw verkoopcyclus
Say goodbye to sales spreadsheets and disconnected processes! Your pricing and product configuration rules are easily set up and maintained with our CPQ rules engine, Epicor CPQ Snap, allowing your users to accurately configure and quote complex products by themselves.

Snel en nauwkeurig offertes genereren
Your customers can purchase your products from anywhere now – configuring their ideal product on your website, with a sales rep, or in-store. Epicor CPQ provides a guided experience that dynamically updates the pricing and visual representations of the product as options change.
These CPQ manufacturing capabilities eliminate the traditional bottlenecks that slow down sales cycles and frustrate customers.
Laat Sales verkopen en geef Engineering een pauze
Sales kan nu automatisch hun eigen CAD-tekeningen genereren voor klantoffertes, in plaats van pre-salesondersteuning van de engineeringteams te vereisen. Epicor CPQ genereert ook daadwerkelijke CAD-bestandsuitvoer van geconfigureerde producten, om verdere aanpassing of verificatie door Engineering mogelijk te maken. Gebruik uw favoriete CAD-programma's, zoals AutoCAD, SolidWorks en PTC Creo.
“Our sales team previously submitted quotes to our engineering team multiple times for rework until they were correct. With Epicor CPQ, they now create quotes that reflect our engineering rules for our customers immediately.”
– Tom Roy, Senior Project Manager, Merck Millipore
Vergroot het vertrouwen in de productie
Once the product is configured, Epicor CPQ can auto-generate your sales drawings, CAD files, Bill of Materials, assembly instructions, and other important documents that support your manufacturing processes. CAD drawings, BOMs, cut sheets, and other documents can all be generated automatically based on the product configuration, ensuring a seamless transition from sales to manufacturing.
“From a production standpoint, Epicor CPQ allows us to be completely aligned as a company and confident in our product output. It has truly been a game changer for us.”
– Moriah Hillbrand, Business Analyst, Tuff Shed

Met deze technologie kunnen klanten producten configureren, bekijken en gebruiken alsof ze er recht voor staan - en dat alles zonder weg te gaan het comfort van hun huis of kantoor.
Dynamic pricing engines
With advanced CPQ solutions, prices are calculated automatically with any number of internal and external variables taken into account.
Manufacturers can tweak prices based on the current inventory level, the customer’s order history, and live competitor prices. Pricing approvals, where necessary, are routed to the appropriate individual automatically and signed off with a single click.
Guided selling functionality
The best CPQ software has Guided Selling functionality that transforms your product and pricing rules into prompts and guidelines for salespeople to follow.
Algorithms and logic built into the CPQ software carry out the bulk of the configuration for the user and calculate a price—all the salesperson has to do is stick to the script.
Integrations with enterprise systems
These systems integrate seamlessly with ERP, CRM, CAD, and your other core business systems. Data is centralized into one repository, ensuring teams can access, share, innovate, and make strategic decisions using the same up-to-date data set.
