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 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.

Can I try it without a sales call? Yes. Sign up, embed the script, and your first 10 quote requests are free.
