Epicor CPQ vs Kugamon

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.

Kugamon provides Salesforce-native software for CPQ, quote-to-cash, subscription management, and billing in one managed package. CPQ supports opportunity-to-quote-to-order workflows, including multiple quotes, versioning, bundles, approvals, PDF quotes, and online acceptance. Quote to Cash adds invoices from released orders, recurring billing schedules, shipments, service delivery schedules, and sales tax and VAT/GST support. Subscription Management includes contract roll-ups for ARR, MRR, and TCV, renewal opportunities and orders, notices, price uplifts, and multiple active contracts. Kugamon runs inside a Salesforce organization and stores quotes, orders, invoices, payments, subscriptions, and renewals as Salesforce records. Listed payment connections include Stripe, Authorize.Net, PayPal, and eWay. The maker says it uses Salesforce's security model and has no external database, middleware, or API sync layer. Plans start at $65 per user per month, billed annually, with a 10-user minimum and 12-month term. Salesforce Sales Cloud or Service Cloud Enterprise edition or higher is required. A 30-day trial provides a Salesforce Enterprise org with the complete Subscription Billing edition installed and administrator rights.
