On the one hand, CPQ is soft­ware for the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on of pro­ducts that are available in a wide ran­ge of vari­ants. Second­ly, it faci­li­ta­tes the auto­ma­ted and spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­on-com­pli­ant cal­cu­la­ti­on of the pri­ce and gene­ra­ti­on of quo­ta­ti­ons. Con­fi­gu­re Pri­ce Quo­te (CPQ) can the­r­e­fo­re be descri­bed as a pro­cess chain in sales. The indi­vi­du­al let­ters of the acro­nym stand for the three are­as: The Con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on of pro­ducts and ser­vices, Pri­cing and the gene­ra­ti­on of Quo­ta­ti­ons. CPQ sys­tems are gene­ral­ly inte­gra­ted into the exis­ting IT land­scape and can be lin­ked to CRM and ERP sys­tems.

Lean, uni­form pro­ces­ses result in effi­ci­ent sales acti­vi­ties.

The digi­tal trans­for­ma­ti­on requi­res and enables a respon­se to chan­ges in the expec­ta­ti­ons of poten­ti­al cus­to­mers with the aid of effi­ci­ent pro­cess con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on.

Using the CPQ soft­ware, the sales depart­ment has access to digi­tal sup­port, which signi­fi­cant­ly sim­pli­fies the sale of pro­ducts that come in lar­ge num­bers of vari­ants, and that requi­re exten­si­ve con­sul­ta­ti­on. As the core of the CPQ sys­tem, the pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor ser­ves as an online sales advi­sor that leads the user vir­tual­ly by the hand and deter­mi­nes their requi­re­ments and pre­fe­ren­ces. During the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on pro­cess, it pres­ents the tech­ni­cal pos­si­bi­li­ties and alter­na­ti­ves, offers visu­al and con­tent-rela­ted assis­tance for sales dis­cus­sions and sim­pli­fies the pro­cess of gene­ra­ting a quo­te. The pri­ce cal­cu­la­ti­on func­tions sup­port both back office per­son­nel and inter­na­tio­nal sales, and offer a high degree of pri­cing fle­xi­bi­li­ty. The pri­ce cal­cu­la­ti­on always deter­mi­nes the cor­rect total pri­ce in the right cur­ren­cy par­al­lel to the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on. Ren­tal pri­ce models or lea­sing pri­ce models can also be map­ped.
