Our unique modeling workbench enables product managers and engineers to define component relationships that drive unique combinations of parts, materials, sub-assemblies, routings or lean schedules. New items with dynamic part numbers can be created in your ERP system with the flexibility to leverage existing BOMs and Routes or create new ones. Answered: Scott Rich on October 17, 2019 Experlogix CPQ handles the full quote-to-production workflow that make-to-order manufacturers need. When a sales rep configures a product in Experlogix CPQ, the system doesn’t just generate a quote. It generates multi-level bills of materials (BOMs), routing instructions, and production documentation. In other words, the same configuration that prices the deal also creates the instructions for exactly what to build and how to build it. For complex make-to-order manufacturing scenarios, Experlogix CPQ manages dimensional configurations, material substitutions, component dependencies, and compatibility rules across thousands of possible combinations. The logic-based modeling approach means these rules are configured in a low-code environment, so product engineers and operations teams can maintain them without writing custom code or relying on IT for every product change. Experlogix CPQ connects natively to Microsoft Dynamics 365—including Business Central and Finance & Operations—so configured BOMs and routings flow directly into your ERP for production planning, procurement, and scheduling. No rekeying, no manual BOM creation, no translation errors between what was sold and what gets built.

If anyone is willing to share their opinions, I would appreciate hearing them. Oracle has purchased several companies that have configurators over the years. Just wondering which one you are considering?

It replaces the spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and manual processes that most sales teams rely on for complex deals. When your offerings involve configurable options, variable pricing, or any complexity beyond a simple price list, manual quoting creates problems: errors, delays, margin leakage, and frustrated customers waiting for answers. CPQ software solves this by encoding your configuration rules, pricing logic, and business policies into a system that guides reps through the configuration process and automates quote generation. Good CPQ software does a few things well: First, it enforces configuration accuracy. Rules prevent invalid combinations so every quote is technically feasible and complete. No more “we quoted them something we can’t actually build.” Second, it automates pricing and discounting calculations. Discounts, volume tiers, customer agreements, margin floors, multi-currency, all calculated automatically based on the rules your business defines. Third, it automates quote generation so the entire process is one simple workflow. Experlogix CPQ is built for organizations where this complexity is daunting for other tools. This includes manufacturers with thousands of product configurations, professional services firms scoping variable engagements, IT services companies assembling multi-vendor solutions, high tech companies managing complex product portfolios, and countless other use cases and industries. Experlogix CPQ integrates natively with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Salesforce, so it works inside the CRM your sales team already uses without requiring separate logins, middleware, or data synchronization workarounds.
