Configure, price, and quote (CPQ) with E21 quoting software

All necessary data for your configure, price, and quote (CPQ) process

E21 ERP includes built-in quoting software designed specifically to meet the needs of manufacturing and distribution companies. Quotes can be created for customers and prospects, stocked and non-stocked products, products from a supplier catalog, and products that have never been designed or manufactured.

The CPQ solution leverages the E21 ERP system’s fully-integrated architecture. All the data needed to develop a competitive quote is at your fingertips: material costs, inventory stock levels, pricing history, competitor information, bills of material, supplier lead times, and more.

Quoting software integrated with CRM and vendor RFQs

E21 includes a built-in ERP CRM solution with quoting functionality, available opportunity management, prospecting, and conversion capabilities. Historical data from past quote wins, losses, and customer buying trends are just a click away.

The quoting software solution is directly tied to E21’s procurement functions. Users can generate a vendor RFQ or multiple RFQs from a customer’s quote for the procurement team’s review and release to vendors. As vendor responses are received, sales and customer service personnel see the RFQ responses from the quote entry screen. Visibility into RFQ responses gives your sales team current cost information on which to base their future quotes.

A web-based product configurator that streamlines the CPQ process

E21 ERP’s web-based product configuration software solution streamlines the CPQ process. Users specify the features or options available for manufactured, distributed, and kitted products when setting up a product that uses the product configurator. Then, when building a quote, users select among the product’s available features or options to meet a customer’s specific requirements. The product configurator’s structure features simple, easy-to-use dropdown fields. Using the E21 ERP product configurator helps manufacturing and distribution companies reduce errors and the overall time spent on the CPQ.

A product configurator for e-commerce

Customers can configure and order products online in real time through E21 ERP’s e-commerce solution. The options and features they select for configured products are based on rules and settings established on the backend. Quotes for configured products also can be created by sales professionals and sent to customers for online approval using the built-in e-commerce solution.
