Quoting was the single most-raised problem in every conversation we had. Not because operators lack a system — because the quote gets assembled by hand, from drawings and spreadsheets and memory, then typed into the ERP a second time.
“Quoting is the number one bottleneck.”
VP Operations · machinery manufacturerOperators told us the expensive mistake is not mispricing a line — it is forgetting one. CPQ compares each quote against similar assemblies you have built before and flags what is absent.
Cost components come through Connect from the system you already run, so a quote reflects what materials cost this week rather than what they cost when the spreadsheet was last updated.
The same floor logic that powers CPQ floor enforcement. A quote that would breach it does not get issued quietly — it escalates with the reason.
Every revision kept, every approval recorded. When the scope changes three times before signature, the history is intact.
Every CPQ demo shows a quote being built. This is the one that matters: a quote that clears every internal check, looks entirely reasonable, and is stopped anyway — because the floor for this account is not the house floor.
Operators described quote turnaround measured in days or a week. The target is hours — and the measurement is against your own baseline, captured before go-live, not against a number we invented.
CPQ is $2,000 a month, billed annually — $24,000 a year. Monthly billing is available at +15%. Connect, the layer that reads your system of record, ships with it at no extra cost. Most operators run one or two modules; past that, Closed Loop prices the whole operation by revenue and installed addresses instead, from $2,500 a month — and adds the unit ledger no single module can produce alone.
