What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

The snap code and layout are easy to use. The support from the product team at Epicor is helpful, and the wiki has tons of useful information to make it easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

There are some limitations to the CAD automation, like dynamic dimensioning and text size adjusting. The logic required to manipulate the CAD output needs to be repeated for the 3D scene within the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epicor CPQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were spending hours putting together models with similar features, but after implementing Epicor CPQ, we were able to greatly reduce the time it taks to create those modes, automating the repetitive parts so the engineers can focus on custom problem solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Stevens of Epicor CPQ

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We are so happy you find our tools easy to use and customizable. It's great that you are saving time and energy by automating your engineering tasks.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

The platform has high digital maturity which helps usage of standard integrations to connect with the wider IT Ecosystem.

The SNAP language is intuitive and easy to learn by anyone with basic programming knowledge

Product visualization capabilities are great while the scene editor is powerful and possible to learn by a 3D/Visual designer with basic programming knowledge

Great introduction and training provided, in addition to the online resources it is enough to get the basics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

There is no offline capability, this is a pure cloud solution

While the UI is possible to tweak and change it is not fully customizable

We could not find or get access to more advanced training Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epicor CPQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

KBMax is improving our quoting process by helping us better connect our process to the tools used. We see reduced leadtime while improving data quality in inquiry to product specification phase by reducing the need for manual work and handoffs. By implementing KBMax we could retire several Excel based processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Stevens of Epicor CPQ

Hi Gustav,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience using our platform. We are so glad that our Snap rules engine & 3D visualization have been easy to use and implement across your organization.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

KBMax allows us to make updates to product availability easily, as well as add new options. Furthermore, we have been able to leverage KBMax's API to automate deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

A challenge with KBMax Configurators and many others is the inability to add new base layers without adjusting the configurator logic. However, this can be addressed by thinking through the components of the configurator and what the options should be for the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epicor CPQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to drastically improve the customer's experience in customizing their helmets, and showing more options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

KBMax has significantly increased the efficiency of our process and helped increase the quality of our products. Their user interface is very easy to use and customize to your specific needs. Our system is not customer facing yet, but KBMax gives us an excellent solution to our highly customizable product line while showing them our product. They have a very fast response time to issues as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

Although KBMax is highly customizable, we have come across a few areas where we couldn't get the functionality we desired. A lot of these issues we could either find a work around for or they would implement a fix. In some cases neither of those options worked. When an issue makes it to the point where we're waiting for the developers to work on it, we know its going to be a while. This is only for a small portion of things we've come across. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

The platform is very flexible. Definitely look at some demos from other customers to get an idea of what's possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epicor CPQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

Previous to KBMax we had to touch every drawing that we sent to our production team. KBMax gave us the ability to automate our CAD and relieve a significant load from our design drafters allowing us to spend more time on other areas for development and improvement. It has also given us the ability to view our products in real time as they are being configured, something that required a whole new process in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

The team at KB Max are open minded and have years of experience to help guide us into great discussions on how to optimize our CPQ experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

If I had anything to complain about, it might be the redundant introductions and discussions, we lost quite a few hours covering topics and introductions multiple times. We are billed hourly, it adds up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epicor CPQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

Virtual resource for our customers to be able to better visualize what their needs are and how we can meet them as well as a CPQ function integrated into our CRM system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Stevens of Epicor CPQ

We're so glad that our team has helped you optimize your integrated CPQ experience and help your customers actually visualize their needs. We strive to be thorough and efficient so appreciate your feedback as we're always looking to enhance our customer experience.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

The platform allows you to customize every facet of your configuration experience. The biggest selling point for us was that, as a platform, and not just an app, we can build a solution for one part of our business and then leverage that build to execute for another business or even white label for a B2B customer.

After initial integration work, the ability to leverage their snap language to have more of an admin vs. a developer administer and build business rules for the tool saves time and money.

Their training and responsiveness has been very good. They executed a high level, in-person training for our team that offered both theory and practical exercises to help us understand the full scope of possibilities of the software and integration capabilities with other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

Early on we had some issues with the 3D asset pipeline and getting what we needed quickly. They worked through the issues there. I think our issue was fairly unique as we have a product that is very complex to model compared to many consumer products like electronics.

Do no expect them to offer creative or UX services. Their configuration engineers do some of this but they lean on you as the client or a 3rd party to build the design aesthetic of your interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

The sky is the limit with the software. Ensure you have dedicated in-house resources focused on fully understanding and product managing the tool to get the most out of it. If your CPQ needs are simple the toolset may be too expansive for your needs. If you could leverage what you build as a POC and execute multiple configurators across business units you will see a lot of efficiencies using this one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epicor CPQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are doing nothing less than revolutionizing the way our customers visualize, configure, and buy customized headwear. Outdoor Cap is a B2B company and we now have a next generation tool our customers can easily use to generate stunning custom designs much faster than we could have build them for them. We are seeing shorter buyer journey's, higher conversion rates, and less customer service contact since everyone is working from the same visual design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

KBMax has one of the most robust documentation wikis to help with anything within the system, and the support team is super smart if you ever get stuck and need to submit a ticket. The development workflow and version control processing is built-in and very easy to use. Beyond the visualization capabilities, KBMax has excellent integrations with Salesforce, AutoCAD and Solidworks for lots of different output workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

The underlying code for customization and configuration uses a SNAP rules engine developed by Google and is easy to use once you get familiar with it, but I find there's a bit of a learning curve to adjust to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

Ensure you have a clear understanding of your full workflow requirements and documentation of your product rules it will help the KBMax team guide you through the implementation process more effectively. You will need someone designated as the technical administrator in order to get trained by KBMax so you can maintain and upgrade on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epicor CPQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are making it easier for our customers to configure several of our most customized products in a virtual and self-service way. We are getting more exposure to these products and it's helping improve the design and solution process with architects and designers. It serves as a nice training and custom drawing resource for our internal staff as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
