Utilise PLM data consistently right through to global sales

Use your PLM data sustainably and bring it to sales at the touch of a button - efficiently implement digitalised business processes and create time for innovation!

With the combination of PLM & SAE CPQ, you can master the digital transformation with ease and enable your global sales teams to create attractive and correct quotations in seconds, even for the most complex products, machines and systems. Queries from the sales department regarding technical feasibility are reduced to a minimum. The configurator of the SAE CPQ is based on the released PLM data - these are transferred from your PLM to the SAE CPQ with a click.

Keep your PLM "technical" - so that your PLM remains clear, sales-relevant data such as explanatory texts, images and videos can be added to the SAE CPQ simply via drag & drop. Sales-relevant configurations and Solution Finder can also be maintained intuitively and graphically in the SAE CPQ platform using no-code functionality - a clear and straightforward solution.

Separation of data maintenance with simultaneous symbiosis of the systems is the success factor for your company.

From design, product management and sales to automatic order creation in ERP (e.g. in SAP®) - by connecting your PLM system & SAE CPQ, you create your single source of truth. At the touch of a button, you can connect your PLM data (parts lists, attributes, etc.) with all business-relevant data, such as prices from the ERP (e.g. SAP® S4/HANA) in your SAE CPQ platform and maintain all sales-relevant data quickly and clearly.
If that's not enough and you want to showcase and present your innovative products perfectly, you can create your 3D models for an interactive configuration in the digital twin in SAE CPQ with just a few clicks - based on your existing CAD data and SAE CPQ standard functions (no-code).
