Why equipment quoting stalls deals

Industrial equipment has multi-level BOMs, long lead times, and high price tags. A quoting mistake costs thousands — or a customer.

🔄

Multi-Level BOMs

A single piece of equipment may have 3–5 levels of sub-assemblies: frame → drive system → motor → controller → accessories. Manual BOM creation is a full-time job.

Week-Long Quote Cycles

Engineering reviews every quote for feasibility. Sales waits for engineering. The customer waits for sales. Quote cycles stretch to 5–10 business days.

🎯

Motor-Drive Compatibility

A 7.5 HP motor needs a matched VFD, correctly rated starter, and appropriate cabling. Mismatches cause equipment failure in the field.

💰

High-Value Pricing Errors

Equipment quotes range from $5,000 to $500,000+. A 2% pricing error on a $100K quote is a $2,000 margin hit. With manual pricing, these errors are systemic.

How AktivCPQ handles equipment complexity

🏗️

Multi-Level Configuration

Configure the main unit, sub-assemblies, and accessory packages in a single flow. Each level respects its own compatibility rules and pricing logic.

⚙️

Component Dependencies

Select a motor HP → CPQ auto-filters compatible VFDs, starters, and cable sizes. Dependency chains prevent mismatched components at every level.

📐

Engineering-Embedded Quoting

Encode your engineering rules directly into the configurator. Sales quotes with confidence. Engineering reviews exceptions, not every quote.

🏭

Multi-Level MO Generation

Confirmed quotes generate Manufacturing Orders with full BOM hierarchy: parent assembly, sub-assemblies, and purchased components. Complete build package, zero manual entry.
