Tacton CPQ Co2 Footprint – Frequently asked questions
Can different configurations be compared?
Can different configurations be compared?
Yes. Sales representatives or customers can directly contrast different product variants. This allows the trade-off between price, performance, and ecological footprint to be transparently evaluated to find the optimal solution.
What is the Environmental Footprint Configuration?
What is the Environmental Footprint Configuration?
This module calculates and visualizes the environmental impacts (such as CO2 emissions) of a product directly during the configuration in the sales process. It enables manufacturers and customers to make more sustainable purchasing decisions.
Where does the environmental data for the calculation come from?
Where does the environmental data for the calculation come from?
The data is based on your company’s Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) or on standardized emission factors. These environmental metrics are linked to the specific components, materials, and production steps in the CPQ system.
How does the module help in B2B sales?
How does the module help in B2B sales?
Sustainability has become a key decision criterion in the B2B sector. With this module, sales teams can actively offer CO2-optimized variants, representing a clear competitive advantage and helping customers achieve their own climate goals.
Does this work with needs-based configuration?
Does this work with needs-based configuration?
Yes, absolutely. Just like price or performance, customers can define “sustainability” or “lowest CO2 emissions” as their primary goal. Tacton’s AI-based engine then automatically searches for the most environmentally friendly, technically feasible product variant.
Are the emission data shown in the quote?
Are the emission data shown in the quote?
Yes, the calculated environmental data can be integrated into the final quote document (PDF) as standard information. This creates transparency and immediately provides the customer with reliable figures for their own ESG reporting (e.g., Scope 3 emissions).
Does the module help with legal regulations?
Does the module help with legal regulations?
The module supports companies in better meeting the requirements of stricter environmental directives like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) or the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) by providing transparent emission data at the product level.
Can transport and operating phases also be considered?
Can transport and operating phases also be considered?
Yes. Depending on the stored data, the footprint can be calculated not only for manufacturing (Cradle-to-Gate) but also for transport, expected service life (energy consumption during operation), and disposal.
Does the implementation require a separate IT project?
Does the implementation require a separate IT project?
No, it is a seamlessly integrated function of the existing Tacton CPQ platform. If the basic configuration rules and the corresponding environmental metrics for the components are available, the function can be quickly integrated into the existing process.
