Alternative to Epicor CPQ
Epicor CPQ is a configure-price-quote platform built for manufacturers and distributors with complex, rule-based product configuration and tight ERP integration. It is sales-led: pricing is custom, and rollout typically runs through Epicor's own ERP and integration work. CPQ3D is a different shape. It is a self-serve 3D configurator you embed on a website in minutes and pay for per quote request, with no ERP integration required to start.
Epicor CPQ vs CPQ3D at a glance
| Epicor CPQ | CPQ3D | |
| Get started | Sales process, then ERP-integrated implementation | Self-serve signup, live in about 2 minutes |
| Try before you commit | Demo and scoping call | First 10 quote requests free, no demo, no card |
| Pricing | Custom, typically scaled for larger businesses | Pay per quote request, volume packs from €3.50, published |
| ERP integration | Deep integration with Epicor and other major ERPs | Standalone; no ERP integration needed to go live |
| Typical focus | Manufacturing and distribution, rule-based engineering configuration | Outdoor living, windows and doors, aluminium, any configurable product |
| Best fit | Manufacturers and distributors with an ERP rollout and engineering-heavy configuration needs | Dealers and manufacturers wanting 3D lead capture without an ERP project |
Epicor CPQ earns its keep when configuration rules live in your ERP. If your quoting problem is really "buyers can't see and configure the product themselves," that is a smaller, faster problem to solve.
What Epicor CPQ is good at
Epicor CPQ is strong where configuration logic needs to stay in sync with an ERP: engineering rules, inventory, and pricing that live in one system of record. For a manufacturer already running Epicor (or planning to), that integration is worth a lot.
What CPQ3D does differently
CPQ3D is front-of-funnel and self-serve. A visitor on your website designs your product in 3D and submits the configuration as a quote request that lands in your inbox. No ERP connection required. You sign up yourself, embed one script tag, and pay only when a request comes in. It solves the "let buyers configure and request a quote themselves" problem without an ERP project attached.
Which to choose
- Choose Epicor CPQ if your configuration rules need to live in an ERP, and you have the budget and timeline for an integrated rollout.
- Choose CPQ3D if you want a 3D configurator live on your site in minutes, self-serve, paying only when you get quote requests, with no demo and no ERP project.
Common questions
Do I need an ERP to use CPQ3D? No. CPQ3D runs standalone; quote requests land in your inbox.
