Epicor CPQ (formerly KBMax)

Epicor CPQ is a configure-price-quote platform aimed at manufacturers of complex, custom, engineer-to-order products. Its modules include visual configuration in 2D, 3D, and augmented reality, dynamic pricing, quoting, an advanced rule engine for enforcing product and pricing logic, CAD and manufacturing automation, and analytics on how visitors interact with configured products. Quotes can be generated as branded Word or PDF documents with bills of materials and pricing breakdowns, and pushed to CRM, ERP, or PLM systems.

The vendor's site describes the product for manufacturers with complex or custom product lines, citing industries such as automotive, construction and engineering, hardscapes, process manufacturing, and retail. It is described as a cloud-based platform with administration tools for managing products, integrations, configurators, buying channels, and users. The site documents integrations with Salesforce, Teamcenter, and Magento, plus REST APIs and a MuleSoft connectivity layer, and CAD automation with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and PTC Creo.

The vendor's site does not list pricing and instead invites visitors to request a demo, so pricing model and cost cannot be confirmed here. Deployment is described as cloud-based for platform administration, but the site does not fully clarify whether all components, such as CAD integrations, run on-premise or in the cloud. Details on contract terms, implementation timelines, or licensing tiers are not provided on the pages reviewed from the vendor's site.
