About us

How we work

We've run CPQ projects since 2000. We know what makes them work — and what makes them stall.

We start every engagement with a CPQ Analysis Workshop to figure out where the real pain is. What should go live first. What can wait. What you should probably never automate at all. The workshop shapes everything that comes after.

Sometimes that means a tool selection. Sometimes we run the full implementation. Sometimes we coach your team through it. It depends on where you are and what you actually need.

Tacton is our core platform, and we know it inside out. When we implement, our target is go-live in under 5 months — because the longer a CPQ project runs, the less likely it is to succeed.

Who we are

We're a team of CPQ specialists based in Uppsala and Stockholm. All of us spent years at Tacton before starting cpq.se — as business consultants, solution architects, and developers. We work almost exclusively with European manufacturers.

Manufacturing CPQ is a different game from quoting SaaS subscriptions or insurance policies. The products are more complex, the configuration logic runs deeper, and getting it right means your sales team can quote confidently without chasing down engineering for every order.

We're not a big consultancy that happens to do CPQ on the side. This is all we do.

Customers

Two examples of what our projects look like in practice:

HMF Cranes builds truck-mounted cranes in Denmark and sells through distributors in 35 countries. Every crane is configured to order. When HMF changed ERP, they also moved to Tacton CPQ — with a deep integration where product rules and pricing are maintained in the ERP and synced to Tacton. That means the configurator is always correct and always up to date. Multilingual quotes, no invalid orders, and distributors were onboarded without a single support call.
Swift Lifts makes home elevators sold through distributors across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. They chose Tacton CPQ from the start — the right move for a product with thousands of combinations and strict regulations across markets. We implemented Tacton CPQ with integrated real-time CAD so distributors can configure a lift, see an accurate 3D drawing, and generate a quote in minutes. What would have required dedicated order-takers runs self-service instead.
