What it is
Zilliant CPQ is cloud-based quoting software for manufacturers and distributors managing complex products and pricing. It applies pricing strategy, margin targets and business rules during each quote, while configuration rules guide complex product choices to reduce errors and guesswork. Pricing logic, discounts and agreements are enforced in real time, and generated quotes reflect policy, margin targets and customer context. Workflow guardrails send only true exceptions for escalation. The product is available through web and API platforms and includes configuration rules, discount approvals, constraint modeling and scenario simulation. SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA integrations provide live pricing at header and line-item levels and can create SAP inquiries, quotes, sales orders, products, bills of material and production routings. Native connectors cover Salesforce CPQ, Oracle CPQ, SAP CPQ, Salesforce Commerce and SAP Commerce. SSO integrations use OAuth 2.0, SAML or OpenID Connect with several CRM platforms. SAP connections use secure encrypted links. Zilliant provides pricing on request.
