Overview
Tacton CPQ is a configure-price-quote platform built specifically for manufacturers of complex, highly configurable products. Founded in 1998 with roots in Swedish AI research, Tacton uses a constraint-based configuration engine to handle products with large numbers of options, dependencies, and engineering rules, helping sales teams and channels quote technically valid configurations without deep product expertise.
The platform is known for connecting the sales configuration to engineering and manufacturing, including CAD automation that generates product drawings and visual representations from a configuration, and the ability to pass configuration-driven BOMs into ERP. This makes it well suited to engineer-to-order and configure-to-order manufacturers where a sale must translate cleanly into a buildable product.
Tacton is co-headquartered in Stockholm and Chicago and serves industrial manufacturers globally. It integrates with major CRM and ERP ecosystems including Salesforce, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, positioning itself as a manufacturing-focused alternative to general-purpose CPQ tools. The company is backed by private equity investors including GRO Capital, Rubicon Technology Partners, and Kirk Kapital.
