This MGI 360 Rating™ is designed to help buyers, suppliers, and investors assess the product functionality, management teams, channel breadth, marketing strategy, and financial positioning of Revalize‘s Configure Price Quote (CPQ) tool.
Revalize receives an MGI 360 Rating of 40 and a Neutral analyst outlook in the Configure Price Quote (CPQ) market. Revalize is a rollup of seven CPQ, PLM, and CAD companies in North America and Europe. This rating applies to the aggregated Revalize product lineup. Product depth, breadth, and future relevance is quite uneven across the portfolio, and the vertical industries Revalize sells into are diverse (from fluid handling to food manufacturing, facilities management, and medical devices). Several of the solutions have very deep capabilities within niche industries (e.g., fluid handling). With a leveraged balance sheet and a diverse set of software code bases, the company will be challenged to simultaneously invest in all products, retain key talent, deliver internal operational efficiencies, and maintain a competitive edge across all its markets. Prospective buyers should evaluate Revalize solutions on an as-is basis and ensure critical roadmap functionality is contractually assured.

What Is Configure Price Quote?
Configure Price Quote (CPQ) is a software discipline that enables companies to automate complex sales processes. It is typically packaged as a mini-suite of related capabilities enabling precise product configuration, accurate pricing, and rapid quote presentation across all types of channels – direct, indirect, partner/reseller, self-service, guided e-commerce, and OEMs. CPQ is a key element of the agile monetization platform.
CPQ solutions promise a smooth end-to-end customer experience, reduced friction in the sales process, and improved precision and accuracy of product combinations, pricing, terms, and conditions. When properly implemented, CPQ reduces the possibility of quote rejection due to human error. It makes the sales channel smarter and faster, and makes the sales process and downstream outcomes more predictable.
CPQ allows mass customization of relatively complex product lineups, enabling channels to sell complex products at scale. This applies to a broad range of product types – from digital subscriptions and financial services to cars and wind turbines. CPQ has applications in a broad spectrum of industries and business models across a range of stages of maturity: B2B and B2C, physical, digital, and hybrid combinations of goods and services, across myriad channel combinations.
