Quickly Manage Complex Quoting
How do you achieve rapid order fulfillment with zero finished goods inventory? Products like residential double-hung windows contain extensive features, options, and configuration complexity that would overwhelm a traditional make-to-stock model and drive unsustainable inventory levels. In competitive make-to-order markets such as windows, doors, and countertops, manufacturers have adapted processes that move custom orders from shop floor to shipping dock in as little as 72 hours.
CPQ is the ideal solution for managing this complexity while maintaining speed, accuracy, and efficiency across the entire order lifecycle.

Configuration designed for you
Customers favor a door and window manufacturer when they can see innovative features and new designs that clearly meet their needs better than a competitors’ offerings. You need to be flexible with custom goods to keep pace with changing tastes, efficiency standards, and building codes. CPQ gives you the option to optimize the door and window options presented to the customer while ensuring that the final configuration results in a door or window that can be manufactured.
Create a Consistent Buying process
Customers often engage with multiple members of your extended sales organization throughout the buying process. CPQ ensures that product information is represented consistently and accurately across every interaction, regardless of channel or role. This alignment enables sales teams, external representatives, and customer service to work from the same configured data, including prior custom orders. The result is a more cohesive experience that builds buyer confidence and reinforces trust in both the product and the service that follows the sale.
Give Customers a Rich Visual Experience
Configure Price Quote (CPQ) strengthens your brand image. No matter if you’re a door manufacturer, window supplier or any other building component manufacturer, you will be able to provide customers with a rich visual experience using images and all relevant product specs, which become part of your dynamic sales proposal. A visual confirmation of an as-promised door or window reduces the opportunity for missed expectations resulting from an order error.
