Product Configurators & CPQ
for Engineering Teams
Configure complex products and generate accurate quotes instantly—without pulling your senior engineers away from R&D and innovation.
The Disconnect Between Sales & Engineering
When sales teams rely on static price lists and engineers rely on manual validation, quoting becomes a bottleneck. Invalid configurations reach the shop floor, causing costly rework and delays.
The Trap: Logic in Spreadsheets
For companies selling configurable products, engineering is often the bottleneck. Logic lives in Excel or tribal knowledge.
- Sales depend on engineers for every quote
- Invalid configurations reach customers
- Slow turnaround time kills deals
The Fix: Engineering-Driven CPQ
We build systems where rules, CAD constraints, and pricing logic are encoded into a single platform for instant validity.
- Quotes generated instantly
- Rules enforce validity
- Engineers focus on R&D, not quotes
Quotes in Minutes
Cut turnaround time by 90%.
100% Accuracy
Zero invalid configurations sent.
Output Ready
Instant BOMs & CAD files.
What We Build
A comprehensive technical stack for complex manufacturing. We convert product rules, CAD logic, and pricing into a single self-service platform.
Engineering Rule Engine
- Parametric and constraint-based configuration logic
- Compatibility and dependency enforcement
- Engineering-grade rule modeling (not just UI logic)
Configuration Interface
- Role-based configurators for sales, dealers, or customers
- Guided selections with real-time validation
- Dynamic option visibility based on engineering rules
- Mobile-friendly web interfaces (no CAD required)
Pricing & Commercial Logic
- Rule-based pricing and margin controls
- Volume, option-based, and customer-specific pricing
- Integration with ERP pricing where required
Real-Time 3D Visualization
Enable users to see exactly what they acknowledge.
- Live 3D visualization as users select options
- Real-time geometry updates driven by engineering rules
- Interactive rotate, zoom, and inspect capabilities
- Optional linkage between configuration and CAD logic
Automated Outputs
Manufacturing-ready outputs generated instantly from engineering rules.
Always consistent with CAD constraints and pricing rules.

Why Custom CPQ with FDES?
Built for engineered-to-order products.
Our solutions are built around engineering and CAD logic—not generic sales rules. We support highly configurable workflows designed for long-term manufacturing scalability.
Learn about our processFaster Quotes
Days to minutes for routine configurations.
Accuracy
Built-in rules prevent invalid configurations.
Engineering Freed
Focus on new products, not routine work.
Consistent Pricing
Same logic regardless of who quotes it.
Integration Capabilities
CPQ is only useful if it connects cleanly to the systems you already use.
Our CPQ acts as a logic layer — not another silo.
CAD Systems
Engineering logic flows directly into configuration — no redraws, no mismatches.
- Rules drive geometry, not manual drafting
- Configurations always match manufacturable CAD
- Drawings, models, and variants auto-update
👉 Sales can’t sell what engineering can’t build.
ERP / MRP Systems
Manufacturing and costing stay synchronized with every configuration.
- BOMs generated directly from CPQ logic
- Accurate costing before the quote is sent
- No manual re-entry into ERP or MRP
👉 No quote surprises after order confirmation.
CRM Systems
CPQ lives inside your sales workflow — not beside it.
- Quotes created directly from CRM opportunities
- Configurations saved per customer and deal
- Faster approvals with fewer engineering escalations
👉 Sales moves faster without breaking engineering rules.
The same engineering rules power configuration, pricing, CAD, BOMs, and ERP — ensuring every quote is valid, buildable, and profitable.
Is a Product Configurator Right for You?
This service is ideal for engineering-driven companies with configurable products.
Make-to-Order Manufacturers
You manufacture configurable products and your engineering team spends hours creating quotes and BOMs for each order.
Sales & Engineering Teams
Your sales team depends on engineers to validate configurations—creating bottlenecks that delay quotes by days.
Growing Companies
You're scaling but can't hire engineers fast enough. You need to handle 3× the orders with the same team.
Complex Product Lines
Your products have hundreds of valid combinations with engineering constraints that only senior engineers understand.
