We help manufacturers get CPQ right, from strategy to go‑live and beyond.
Tacton partner for small and mid‑sized manufacturers, CPQ advisors to enterprise organizations. We publish real answers, real prices and real project experience from twenty‑five years inside Configure‑Price‑Quote programmes.
Configure. Price. Quote.
CPQ is the software layer that turns a customer's requirements into a valid, priced, quotable configuration, without a specialist checking every line. It sits between your CRM and your ERP and enforces engineering rules, commercial rules and quote governance in one flow.
Four things we do, nothing else.
Select
Vendor selection advisory for enterprise organizations. We know the shortlist that fits your product model, your ERP, and your team, before the demos start.
Implement
Modelling, delivery and change management. We staff programmes end‑to‑end or plug into an existing team as the CPQ authority.
Integrate
CPQ to ERP, PIM, CRM and dealer portals. SAP, IFS, Dynamics, Salesforce: the integrations that decide whether a quote becomes a clean order.
Visualize
3D configurators, technical drawings on the quote, real‑time product visualisation. Because manufacturers sell things you can see.
Customer stories
Distributors in 35 countries now quote truck-mounted cranes themselves, every order correct, in the local language.
Distributors quote billions of home-elevator combinations themselves, with a live CAD drawing, and a response time close to zero.
30+ models across two brands and three factories now configure in one Tacton CPQ, quoted by internal sales and dealers alike.

The people who'll run your programme.
No offshore delivery, no pyramid of juniors. Every consultant came up through Tacton before joining cpq.se, the person you meet in the first workshop is the person still on the programme at go‑live.

Product knowledge is moving online. Try what that feels like.
More and more manufacturers are putting their product knowledge online, often in a simplified version: what can be combined, what it costs, and what a dealer or a customer can order without calling the factory. This demo shows how that looks in practice. Configure a hooklift truck on your phone, in plain language, with the real product rules holding every choice together and a priced proposal at the end. Five minutes, no login.
Describe the truck in plain language. The assistant asks back when it has to.
A constraint solver stops combinations that cannot be built and tells you which choice to change.
The total updates with every choice. The end result is a page you could send to a customer.
