Stratos CPQ questions, answered

Stratos CPQ is a 3D configure, price, and quote platform. Your customers customize a product in 3D, see live pricing as they go, and submit a finished quote in one flow. It works especially well for apparel, and the same engine fits any customizable product.

CPQ stands for configure, price, quote. It is the flow a customer goes through to specify exactly what they want, get accurate pricing for those choices, and receive a quote they can act on. Stratos runs that whole flow in one place, in 3D.

A store sells fixed items. Stratos is built for products that are configured. Customers build their own design in interactive 3D, pricing updates live with every choice, and what they see on screen is what they order. No email threads, no pricing worked out by hand, and no waiting days for a quote.

CPQ fits any manufacturer whose products are configured rather than picked off a shelf. Custom apparel and uniforms are a strong fit for Stratos, and the same engine handles other made to order products with options, sizes, materials, and decoration. If your team quotes orders by hand today, CPQ software replaces that manual work with one configure, price, and quote flow.
