Streamline and improve your quoting process.
Unlock the power of Cost-Based Quoting with ImpactECS.
Custom, contract, or engineered-to-order manufacturing companies need more than a configuration tool when quoting business. Cost-Based Quoting (CBQ) is a strategic approach that enables you to accurately determine the price of your products or services based on the actual costs involved in producing or delivering them. Companies that require more than simple CPQ processes can eliminate the guesswork by incorporating detailed labor, materials, and overhead costs with ImpactECS.
