Implementing a Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solution enables manufacturing companies, of all sizes and across all industries, to offer guided selling for configurable products.

CPQ software captures the knowledge, information, and decisions that sales and engineering teams use to order and design products.

DriveWorks is the most popular CPQ add-in to SOLIDWORKS. It allows you to configure custom products on any device, anywhere, and automatically create sales documents and manufacturing data.

DELMIAWorks Manufacturing ERP (formerly IQMS) is an end-to-end ERP System developed with a shop floor first focus to help manufacturers increase efficiency and visibility of performance on the plant floor.

Integrating DriveWorks CPQ with your DELMIAWorks ERP system gives you power, flexibility, and re-use of your SOLIDWORKS design data. Enabling you to easily create 3D product visuals, configure them to order, and connect directly to your ERP system to create a smooth buying experience for your customers.

Integrating DriveWorks with your DELMIAWorks ERP system is simple, DriveWorks comes with an out-of-the-box solution to perform bi-directional data transfer, allowing you to implement a CPQ solution without the need for a time-consuming and complex setup process.

Join this webinar hosted by DriveWorks and DELMIAWorks experts to learn how you can:
