At Tacton, we believe that selling complex, configurable products isn’t just a process– it’s an opportunity to redefine the buyer experience. For manufacturers navigating today’s dynamic markets, Tacton CPQ brings clarity, precision and automation that is needed to turn complexity into a competitive advantage.  

Our leadership in Configure-Price-Quote (CPQ) solutions has earned widespread recognition this year. Gartner named Tacton a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for CPQ Applications, and IDC MarketScape highlighted us as a Major Player in Configure Price Quote Applications for Commerce. Most recently, MGI Research ranked Tacton as the #1 CPQ Product for 2024 in its highly anticipated 2024 CPQ Top 25 Buyer’s Guide.

Let’s dive into the top 5 reasons Tacton CPQ the trusted choice for our manufacturing customers looking to simply their sale process and elevate the buyer experience:  

 1. Effortless Configuration for Complex Products 

In a world where buyers demand tailored solutions and instant precision, Tacton CPQ brings product configuration to an entirely new level. By embedding deep product intelligence into the sales process, Tacton enables manufacturers to manage millions of product variants effortlessly ensuring every configuration is valid, optimized, and perfectly aligned with customer needs. 

Manufacturers can mitigate the risks of brain drain and talent turnover—an increasing concern in an industry reliant on specialized sales knowledge. By automating complex configurations, even new sales reps can deliver first-time-right solutions with confidence. Tacton ensures that product expertise is embedded in the system, not just in the minds of experienced team members, enabling organizations to onboard new talent faster and maintain quoting precision regardless of changes in the workforce.  

Product variance becomes a strategic strength rather than a bottleneck, eliminating errors and accelerating sales cycles. Instead of struggling with complexity, manufacturers transform it into a clear, competitive advantage that drives growth and customer satisfaction. 

2. Pricing done right, the first time with dynamic pricing 

Manufacturers can’t afford margin leakage or pricing inconsistencies. That’s why Tacton CPQ integrates an intelligent dynamic pricing engine that ensures every quote is accurate, optimized, and immediate—no matter how complex the product or scenario. 

By factoring in material costs, market changes, and advanced pricing models like subscription-based or volume pricing, Tacton CPQ enables manufacturers to protect margins while delivering value to customers. Sales reps can confidently share precise, real-time prices directly within the configurator, earning trust at every stage of the buying journey. With Tacton, pricing becomes a strategic enabler—supporting profitability, adaptability, and speed across channels. 

3. Automated, branded quotes in minutes 

In the fast-moving world of complex manufacturing, slow and error-prone quoting processes are no longer acceptable. Tacton CPQ delivers automated, polished, and professional quotes with a single click, ensuring every detail is accurate and aligned with your latest product data, pricing, and branding. 

These data-driven documents not only speed up the sales process but also build confidence with buyers. Whether it’s a complex technical specification or a high-level summary, sales teams can generate tailored, impactful quotes in minutes—empowering decision-makers and driving deals forward. The result? Faster decisions, superior buyer experience, and a sales team that can focus on selling rather than chasing paperwork. 

4. Immersive 3D visualization brings your products to life 

Buyers today expect more than static documents—they want to see, interact with, and understand their solutions before they commit. Tacton CPQ transforms the buying experience with cutting-edge 3D visualization and augmented reality tools that deliver an engaging perspective on your products. 

With real-time visuals, buyers can explore configurations in stunning detail, gaining a clear understanding of their investment. These immersive tools eliminate ambiguity, reduce costly errors, and accelerate decision-making. More than just a visual aid, Tacton’s interactive tools inspire confidence, enabling sales teams to unlock cross-sell and upsell opportunities and create an experience buyers will remember. 

  5. Deliver a consistent sales experience across all channels  

Consistency is the foundation of a world-class buying experience, and Tacton CPQ ensures every interaction—whether through direct sales, partners, or self-service platforms—is seamless, accurate, and connected. By unifying product, pricing, and order data across channels, Tacton eliminates friction and empowers manufacturers to reach new markets with confidence.

Unlock the full potential of service and product sales with Tacton CPQ’s Service Sales Solution for Manufacturers 

The manufacturing landscape is evolving rapidly, and customers now expect more than just a product—they seek comprehensive solutions that provide ongoing value throughout the lifecycle of their equipment. Manufacturers must rethink how to approach sales by uniting products and services into a seamless, value-driven experience. 

Tacton’s Service Sales Solution is designed to meet this demand, empowering manufacturers to combine product and service sales within a single, integrated system. This streamlines operations, boosts revenue opportunities, and fosters long-term customer loyalty. 

Maximizing Aftermarket Revenue Opportunities 

Aftermarket services represent a significant growth opportunity for manufacturers. Studies show that for 20% of B2B manufacturing companies, 30-49% of total revenue comes from aftermarket sales. Yet, many manufacturers struggle to fully capitalize on this potential due to fragmented systems and reactive service offerings. 

Tacton’s Service Sales Solution bridges this gap by monetizing every stage of the customer lifecycle. By embedding service sales within the CPQ process, businesses can simplify quoting, cut costs, and offer tailored services that enhance equipment performance and drive customer satisfaction. 

Empowering Unified Sales Strategies 

Traditionally, manufacturers have treated products and services as separate entities, often managing them through different tools and workflows. This siloed approach leads to inefficiencies, slower response times, and missed opportunities to deliver maximum value to customers. 

With Tacton’s Service Sales Solution, manufacturers can adopt a solution-selling approach, bundling products and services into tailored packages. Whether it’s preventative maintenance, spare parts, or training programs, these solutions meet the specific needs of each customer while enhancing the total value of the deal. 

Deliver value across the lifecycle  

By combining product and service sales, you can:   

• Increase Revenue: Leverage combined product and service offerings to enhance customer relationships and unlock new revenue streams. 

• Reduce Costs: Empower service sales reps to configure customized packages independently, easing the burden on engineering and IT teams. 

• Enhance Customer Loyalty: Offer personalized service packages to build trust and foster long-term relationships, giving your brand a competitive advantage in customer retention. 

Service Sales Features That Make the Difference 

The Service Sales Solution is designed to simplify and streamline the way manufacturers offer aftermarket services. Here’s how it works: 

• Seamless Integration with Installed Base: Gain full visibility into customer assets, enabling tailored service offers and better management of installed equipment. 

• Flexible Service Offerings: Configure custom packages that meet diverse customer needs, including preventative maintenance, consumables, spare parts, and training. 

• Advanced Service Scheduling: Leverage operational data and forecasting tools to determine the right service levels for each customer, ensuring proactive support. 

• Clear Service Roles and Tasks: Assign the right resources to the right jobs with clearly defined service tasks and role allocations. 

• Accurate Cost Calculation and Quoting: Automatically calculate costs and margins to generate precise quotes, improving profitability and reducing errors.

Creating A Competitive Edge for Manufacturers 

In a market driven by price competition, simply offering a quality product isn’t enough. Manufacturers need ways to stand out by delivering value that low-cost competitors cannot replicate. Tacton’s Service Sales Solution provides a powerful way to differentiate by combining efficiency, expertise and customer-centric offerings in one seamless system.  

By uniting product and service sales, manufacturers can shift their focus from transactional interactions to long-term partnerships. The ability to offer bundled solutions—tailored to meet specific customer needs—demonstrates a level of understanding and commitment that price-focused competitors often lack. Customers value the convenience of working with a single trusted partner who can deliver not just products but also the services that keep their operations running smoothly. 

Additionally, the streamlined approach reduces operational complexity, allowing manufacturers to focus on providing proactive support and personalized care. This positions manufacturers as indispensable allies in their customers’ success, strengthening relationships and ensuring retention over time. With Tacton’s Service Sales Solution, manufacturers aren’t just competing—they’re redefining what it means to provide exceptional value in a crowded market.
