camos CPQ

camos CPQ is built by camos Software und Beratung GmbH, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, at the centre of the country's mechanical and plant engineering industry. The product carries variant depth that lighter CPQ tools give up on, which is why it turns up repeatedly inside large German machine and plant builders — the vendor names Siemens Energy, Festo, ABB, Liebherr and Kone as customers.

That depth has a price beyond the licence fee: the rules are built together with camos consultants in Stuttgart during a modelling project, and keeping them current afterwards needs a trained product modeller on the customer's own payroll rather than a business user making quick edits. camos CPQ Compact is positioned as a lighter entry point for mid-sized manufacturers that don't need the full depth.

Integration into existing ERP, CRM, BI, PLM and CAD systems runs through the camos Connect API.

Pricing is quoted per organisation on named-user licences, with no published number and no certifications (ISO, SOC 2 or similar) listed on the vendor's own site. Presence outside German-speaking Europe is thin — this is a DACH specialist first.

What camos CPQ does well

• Deep variant and rules modelling built specifically for mechanical and plant engineering
• camos CPQ Compact gives a lighter entry point aimed at mid-sized manufacturers
• Integrates into ERP, CRM, BI, PLM and CAD systems via the camos Connect API
• Long reference list among large DACH industrial manufacturers, including Siemens Energy, Festo, ABB, Liebherr and Kone

Where camos CPQ falls short

• Rules are built with camos consultants; keeping them current needs a trained in-house product modeller
• Very little presence outside German-speaking Europe
• No published pricing, and no certifications listed on the vendor's own site

Standout feature. The configurator most often found inside German mechanical engineering firms, with reference customers including Siemens Energy, Festo, ABB, Liebherr and Kone.
