Axonom Powertrak vs Epicor CPQ

Axonom Powertrak is a cloud-based visual CPQ suite for configuring products, pricing them, and preparing quotes and orders. Its configurators support static-image, interactive 2D, 3D, and virtual-reality product experiences. Rules can manage dependencies, quantity checks, price adjustments, bundles, and cross-sell suggestions. Powertrak Quoting creates quotes, estimates, invoices, sales orders, and purchase orders, with multiple price lists, tiered discounts, optional products, and bundles. Guided Selling uses a behavior-driven questionnaire to recommend products and accessories and generate quotes. Axonom lists integrations with Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Oracle, NetSuite, and Macola, while standalone use is also available. The Partner Portal offers self-service tools for partners, resellers, and distributors; role-based controls can limit deal visibility to a partner’s sales channel. Solutions are described for apparel, aviation, and heavy-equipment manufacturers. A mobile AR app requires iOS or Android devices supporting ARKit or ARCore; the VR Design Viewer is read-only. Axonom says its 2D configurator is less suitable for engineer-to-order workflows that create new parts during sales or for organizations without product artwork. Pricing is on request.

Epicor CPQ helps manufacturers configure, price, and quote complex custom products while connecting sales, engineering, and manufacturing. Buyers can explore products in 2D or 3D, augmented reality, and virtual reality; prices recalculate as options change. Centralized product and pricing rules help enforce design requirements and prevent invalid configurations. A configuration can produce quotes with renderings, supporting documents, and bills of materials, as well as CAD drawings, assembly instructions, and other production outputs. Epicor names AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and PTC Creo for CAD generation. Integration options include REST APIs, native connections to Salesforce, Teamcenter, and Magento, and MuleSoft connectivity. Analytics collect information about website visitors’ product interactions. The cloud platform includes administration for products, integrations, configurators, buying channels, and users. Epicor positions CPQ for engineer-to-order manufacturers, including automotive, construction and engineering, hardscapes, process manufacturing, and retail. It can be used standalone or integrated with Epicor Industry ERP Cloud. Pricing is paid and available on request.
