What CPQ Does for Utilities

Three Core Capabilities

1

Configuration That Handles Real Complexity

Utility services involve interconnected systems that span functions like generation capacity, transmission infrastructure, distribution networks, metering requirements, compliance specifications. Our CPQ software lets you build configuration logic that ensures every service package is technically viable and compliant. If you're quoting a commercial solar installation with grid connection, energy storage, and demand response participation, the system ensures that all configured components are compatible and that the configuration meets both regulatory and customers’ standards.

Pricing That Stays Current

Commodity prices shift daily. Demand charges fluctuate seasonally. Regulatory incentives change by jurisdiction. CPQ applies pricing rules that factor in your strategy and draw data from your core systems; you’ll always have the latest information available at your fingertips.
