Epicor's CPQ platform (acquired from KBMax) uses visual 3D configuration to guide complex product configuration. Strong fit for industrial machinery and capital equipment manufacturers who need guided selling and automated BOM/routing generation from sales configuration.

Strong visual CPQ for complex industrial products, 3D configurator and automated BOM/routing generation are genuine differentiators; limited public documentation and no transparent pricing are friction points for SMB evaluation.
