encoway CPQ

encoway CPQ is built by encoway GmbH, based in Bremen, Germany, and founded in 2000. The pitch is straightforward: one product-rules model feeds both the internal sales quote and a public web configurator on the manufacturer's own website, instead of two separate models that gradually drift apart as products change.

The company holds ISO 27001 certification and carries “Software Made in Germany” and “Certified Cloud Solution” marks, which is more formal compliance signalling than most CPQ vendors in this category publish. Licensing is modular, so a buyer can start with the sales-quote module and add the web configurator, or vice versa, rather than buying a fixed bundle. Reference customers named on the vendor's site include KHS Gruppe, Schmalz and Teckentrup, all German industrial manufacturers.

The trade-off is geography: encoway is a DACH product with DACH partners, built to integrate cleanly with SAP ERP, Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Outside German-speaking Europe, a buyer is likely to be an earlier reference than a well-trodden case study, and pricing is not published anywhere — budgeting starts with a sales call.

What encoway CPQ does well

• ISO 27001 certified, plus “Software Made in Germany” and “Certified Cloud Solution” marks
• One rules engine serves both the sales quote and a public web configurator, so the two never drift apart
• Modular licensing lets a buyer start with only the modules it needs
• 25 years in business (founded 2000), with reference customers including KHS Gruppe, Schmalz and Teckentrup

Where encoway CPQ falls short

• No published pricing; every deal needs a sales conversation
• Strongly DACH-oriented, with partner and support depth concentrated in German-speaking Europe
• Built to integrate with SAP ERP, Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics CRM, so it suits companies already running one of those

Standout feature. An ISO 27001-certified CPQ that feeds one rules model into both the internal quote tool and a customer-facing web configurator.
