Intelligent guided selling instead of technical barriers

The heart of Tacton CPQ is the unique constraint‑based configuration engine. Unlike conventional systems based on rigid “if‑then” rules, Tacton always finds a valid solution.

The system supports your sales teams through guided selling: Tacton CPQ asks the right questions about customer requirements (for example, performance, footprint, or budget), while the software ensures technical feasibility in real time in the background.

Role models and approval processes

Tacton CPQ provides an integrated permissions and approval concept, enabling transparent communication between engineering and sales. Each user is assigned a user‑specific profile within the context of their area of responsibility in the company.

Seamless integration for maximum efficiency

Tacton CPQ is not an isolated tool. Thanks to Lino’s close partnership, the solution can be perfectly integrated into your existing IT landscape of ERP and CRM systems. The integration with engineering is particularly powerful: since Tacton CPQ uses the same logic as CAD automation, 3D visualizations, CAD models, and detailed bills of material can be triggered directly from the sales process. The result is an end‑to‑end, digital, and standardized process without media breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Knowledge base on quote automation, pricing logic, and sales digitalization.

Here we answer key questions about digital product configuration and quotation calculation in the B2B environment. Learn how technical validation, price calculation, and document generation are integrated into a single system.

What is Tacton CPQ?

Tacton CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) is a cloud-based sales software specifically developed for manufacturers of complex industrial products. It automates and simplifies the process of product configuration, pricing, and quoting to reduce errors and shorten the sales cycle.

Which industries is Tacton best suited for?

The software is primarily aimed at the manufacturing industry as well as mechanical and plant engineering. It is ideal for B2B companies that manufacture and sell highly customizable, highly complex products with many variants.

What is meant by “Needs-based Configuration”?

Needs-based configuration is a core feature of Tacton. Instead of asking for technical specifications, the customer or sales representative answers questions about their actual business requirements. Using artificial intelligence and a constraint-based engine, the system automatically derives the optimal, technically feasible product configuration from this.

How does Tacton integrate into existing IT systems?

Tacton CPQ offers seamless standard integrations for leading CRM and ERP systems, including Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and SAP. As a result, customer, item, and order data flow through the entire sales and production process without manual transfer errors.

Does Tacton CPQ offer visual product configuration?

Yes, Tacton CPQ features powerful modules with 2D, 3D, and Augmented Reality functions. Customers and sales teams can view the configured product in real time. This strengthens trust in the solution and significantly accelerates the purchasing decision.

Can Tacton CPQ be used for different sales channels?

Absolutely. With Tacton, you can use a unified CPQ engine across all sales channels: in direct sales, for dealer portals (partner sales), and for self-service customer portals (e-commerce). All channels centrally access the same product and pricing databases

How does Tacton support pricing?

Tacton automates price calculation based on the configuration, current margin targets, and region-specific price lists. Complex discount structures, volume discounts, integration of source data from external systems (e.g., ERP), or currency-dependent prices can also be easily mapped, which greatly simplifies the approval process for quotes.

What is CAD Automation in Tacton?

Tacton Design Automation connects the CPQ software with common CAD systems like SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or PTC Creo. This allows true-to-scale 3D models and 2D drawings for the quote to be generated automatically from the sales configuration, massively relieving the engineering department.

Is Tacton CPQ a cloud solution?

Yes, Tacton CPQ is provided as a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solution in a secure cloud environment. This ensures high scalability, regular automatic updates, and worldwide access to the system entirely without your own server infrastructure.

How long does it take to implement Tacton CPQ?

The duration varies depending on the complexity of the products and the existing IT infrastructure. Thanks to ready-made standard integrations and Tacton’s ready-to-use functions, an initial working system (MVP) can often be realized after just a few months.
