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 Experlogix‘s Configure Price Quote (CPQ) tool.
Experlogix receives an MGI 360 Rating of 50 and a Neutral analyst outlook in the Configure Price Quote (CPQ) market. This is a proven Microsoft-centric product configurator and quoting tool with a clearly defined target market. Customers express overall satisfaction with the company and product, although larger, higher-volume/complexity quoting performance could be improved and support for subscription price models is lacking. For customers within the target base, the company brings deep domain and product configuration experience that is consistently viewed as very good value for money. Recognized as a Microsoft-oriented company, Experlogix also has reference customers running SAP PLM/ERP and/or Salesforce CRM with integrations into its CPQ. Experlogix sales and marketing is under-resourced compared to the capability of product and maturity of the company. This product requires minimal external resources to implement and has an attractive overall TCO.

Who Is Experlogix?
Launched in 2004 as a browser-based product configurator, in 2019 Experlogix sold a majority ownership interest to Featheringhill Capital. Since then, the company made a series of acquisitions to expand its product and geographic footprint: e-Con Solutions (acquired 2020) to add product depth and sales reach in EMEA, Xpertdoc brought document automation and workflow, and in 2023 it acquired the Aphix Digital eCommerce platform (now Experlogix Digital Commerce).
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.
