What it is

Hive CPQ is configure, price, and quote software for manufacturers selling complex products. It brings product configuration, pricing, and quoting together for sales teams, dealers, distributors, and online customers. Its rule-based configurator is designed to reduce configuration and order errors. The pricing engine supports option-, attribute-, bill-of-materials-, grid-, cost-plus-, volume-, price-list-, and custom pricing models. Teams can create quotes with visuals and bills of materials, generate technical and calculation sheets, order summaries, manuals, and safety instructions, and turn approved quotes into orders. Quotes can be generated in over 20 languages. Hive AI processes incoming RFQs, guides buyers through configurations, and helps teams build and maintain configurators. Listed integrations include Microsoft Dynamics products, Salesforce, Zoho CRM, inriver, Bluestar PLM, and Ridder IQ; a backwards-compatible REST API supports customer-built integrations. Hive says it is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, stores data in Germany and Europe, and has 99.8% average uptime. Pricing is on request, based on project scope, complexity, and user count. A 30-day trial includes a dedicated sandbox and Hive Academy training.
