Tacton Introduces Salesforce App for Manufacturing Industry

Tacton, a company offering CPQ solutions for the manufacturing industry, announced at Dreamforce that its complete CPQ solution is now available on the Salesforce AppExchange.

The idea is that global manufacturers will now have access to an advanced CPQ solution that works natively within Salesforce. Tacton CPQ is designed to help drive operational efficiency by automating the quotation process and making it simpler and faster to sell complex products. Salesforce users can also customize products through Visual Configuration in a drag-and-drop process, aided by 3D product visualization.

“Salesforce users can now access one of the world’s most powerful CPQ solutions directly via Salesforce AppExchange,” says Nils Olsson, Chief Portfolio Officer, Tacton Systems. “Using Tacton CPQ with Salesforce is the next step for any company looking to deal with the complexity of their products while gaining traction in sales through the power of Salesforce.”
