3PQ® Configuration by 4Pace is a sophisticated and powerful CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) platform that brings together advanced engineering data, user-friendly configuration tools, and robust integration capabilities to serve companies that sell complex and configurable products. At the heart of 3PQ® is its unique ability to utilize CAD data as the foundation for its configuration processes. This ensures that every selection and customization made within the system accurately reflects real-world components and assemblies. This precision, coupled with the plausibility check mechanism that prevents users from creating invalid configurations, makes the software particularly valuable for engineer-to-order and make-to-order businesses where accuracy is critical. The configurator’s no-code adaptability is another major strength, allowing businesses to tailor the interface to match their branding and process flow without the need for programming expertise. This feature makes the solution accessible to a broader user base, including non-technical sales teams and even customers. 3PQ® excels in making complex product configurations visually intuitive and logically sound. The fact that it is built for both internal sales teams and external customer self-service use cases significantly expands its usability.
