CPQ Integration
Enhance your existing CPQ (Configure Price Quote) tool with the Bluestar CPQ Integration and benefit from the seamless integration of Bluestar PLM and Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM. This combination creates an efficient digital thread for communication and data sharing between entities, streamlining the entire product development cycle.
Customer-specific configuration data from the CPQ system is automatically shared among Bluestar PLM and D365 F&SCM entities, eliminating human errors associated with manual data handling.
Key Benefits
Streamlined processes
Due to the Bluestar CPQ integration, companies are able to organize, build and produce advanced and realistic quotes internally far more effectively, hence eliminating time waste and redundant manual labour, eventually meeting customer specific needs quicker and to a much higher degree.
Two-step approval
To make sure that no invalid configurations are proceeded with, and only feasible and satisfactory material is handled, both customers and professionals are prompted, along the way, to accept and confirm this. Hereby, both customer and company satisfaction are ensured.
Personalizing quote
Customers are able to tailor quotes by answering product specific questions and defining attributes e.g. values and descriptions. Terms & conditions, warranties etc. are presented to customers and processes are only proceeded with once these are accepted.
A perfect symbiosis
When a product is configured in the CPQ, its CAD files are created in Bluestar, accessible to internal entities. This initiates quote generation, providing the customer with an accurate quote. Once accepted, the BOM is sent to D365 F&SCM for production. Centralized data ensures swift workflows, optimizing time and cost.
Customer care
With the combination of the CPQ tool and the Bluestar PLM system, customers will be presented with a greater catalogue of configuration possibilities and companies are at all times able to satisfy customer needs, on time and on budget.
Guided selling
Throughout the whole process of configuring orders and quotes, the CPQ will gather PLM data from Bluestar and assist users in real-time via easily understandable yet intelligent messaging and highlights.

Key Features
Fully integrated
CPQ, PLM and ERP is seamlessly linked through one shared platform, meaning that all internal instances will have easy access to necessary process data, such as CAD data enabling swift workflows and generating of material e.g. BOMs and 3D models.
Simplifying complexity
Through your CPQ’s intuitive interface, non-technical users are able to easily interact, create and maintain advanced sales and configuration processes without the need to obtain any programming knowledge.
Real-time product visualisation
During product configuration, customers are able to change appearance of a product e.g., colour and texture all the while viewing these in real-time as they are made.
Use and reuse
With the linkage between Bluestar PLM and the CPQ, new products incl. BOMs can easily be produced and reused. Product attributes and sub-attributes, e.g., measurements, notes, cycle time etc., can be configured and mapped by the users through the CPQ.
Shared configurations
All instances, from Sales to Manufacturing and Supply Chain share the same platform. However, only entity specific information and fields are accessible once reaching a given entity. This ensures best practice in all instances and that no future re-configurations will be needed.
