Powertrak CPQ is a cloud-based suite for configuring products, preparing quotes, and moving sales toward orders. It is aimed at manufacturers selling highly configurable products made to order. Sales teams, partners, and customers can build product configurations from 2D drawings or 3D models, adding parts with drag-and-drop controls. Quoting supports sales quotes, estimates, invoices, sales orders, and purchase orders, with multiple price lists, tiered discounts, optional or bundled products, and cross-sell and upsell opportunities. Guided Selling uses a step-by-step questionnaire to guide product selection and generate quotes or orders. Customer and partner portals add self-service configuration, quoting, and ordering, plus relationship tracking, support, case submissions, and loyalty management. The suite also provides augmented and virtual reality views of configured products on supported mobile devices. Integrations include Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Oracle, NetSuite, and Macola; it can also run standalone. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Pricing is on request.
