A key reason why we selected Wapice’s Summium® CPQ system is that it can be integrated into our Salesforce CRM system. Adopting the system has improved efficiency across the sales process.
The change in internal processes took place immediately after deployment. The making and sending of quotes is now much faster and the whole process is more secure. In addition, the predictability of operations has improved with more data.
Our customers get all the product information and 3D models they need from the system in just a few minutes and without a salesperson, whereas before it could take days to find the needed information, make calculations and draw 3D models.
Key product features
CONFIGURATOR
Manage your product and service offering with an efficient rule-based configurator.
- The flexible configurator engine ensures that even the most complex products and services are always compatible and possible to manufacture.
- The end result contains products and services offered to the customer, completed with items and necessary technical information.

- The system supports Word, Excel and PDF formats for generating documents.
SMART MODELING TOOL
The Smart Modeling Tool is an easy-to-use administrator tool for modeling and maintaining configuration models.
- Using the tool does not require coding, so you can also build and maintain your system yourself.
- Because the system’s intelligence is largely based on the data it utilizes rather than hard-coded rules, it makes the system’s logic generic and at the same time makes the system easier to maintain.
- Data can also come from an external information system or through an Excel interface.
Additional options
Visual configuration
