Tacton CPQ CAD Automation for Autodesk® Inventor®

Tacton CPQ CAD Automation for Autodesk Inventor

Tacton CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote) empowers sales reps, resellers and even end-customers to configure complex B2B industrial equipment – without errors. Our constraints-based configuration technology, translates customer needs into a 100% valid and buildable solution. Instant pricing and visualization after every configurator selection make the buying process easy and transparent. With needs-based configuration, the customer dialogue can focus on business value rather than technical solutions. One-click generation of accurate quote documents increase sales efficiency and quality.

With Tacton CPQ’s option CAD Automation for Autodesk Inventor, a sales rep can after a configuration generate CAD documents and 2D drawings for millions of product variants with literally a click of a button – without the help of sales engineering. The sales rep needs neither CAD skills nor CAD software installed. Everything takes place through a web browser.
