Configure, price and quote electrical panels at BOM level, not a picklist.
ServiceCPQ is CPQ software for electrical equipment manufacturers and panel builders — BOM-level configuration for control panels, switchgear, MCCs and distribution boards, with component compatibility and IEC 61439 / UL 508A standards enforced, GA and single-line drawings generated with the quote, multi-tier distributor and contractor pricing, and a full aftermarket engine. Quoted in minutes, on one knowledge graph.
A bill of materials, compatibility rules and standards.
Electrical equipment manufacturers and panel builders sell configured, standards-bound bills of materials through distributor and contractor chains — a mix generic CPQ was never built to resolve.
An electrical panel isn't a product with a few options — it's a BOM of breakers, busbars, enclosure, metering and wiring, each priced from a supplier list that moves, plus the assembly hours to build it. Pricing it by hand in a spreadsheet is slow and error-prone.
The breaker has to match the busbar rating, the enclosure has to take the layout and IP rating, and the board has to meet IEC 61439 or UL 508A with the right form of separation and short-circuit withstand. A flat CPQ can't enforce which combinations are actually buildable and compliant.
Panels and components sell through wholesalers, panel builders and contractors, each with its own tier — and manual price books fall out of date the moment a component cost or a supplier promotion changes.
Customers expect a general-arrangement and single-line drawing with the quote. Producing them in CAD, separately from the price and BOM, doubles the work and drifts out of sync the moment the configuration changes.
Quote a valid, compliant panel in minutes.
Configure the panel at component level — enclosure, busbar, incomer, outgoing ways, protection, metering — with valid combinations enforced from the knowledge graph and the price assembled from live component cost plus assembly hours.
IEC 61439 / UL 508A compliance, form of separation, short-circuit withstand and component compatibility checked in real time, so a rep can't quote a board that can't be built or certified.
A general-arrangement layout and single-line diagram generated from the same schedule that produced the price and the BOM — no separate CAD step, and no drift when the configuration changes.
The margin is in spares, upgrades and inspection.
Breakers, relays, metering and control components quoted against the as-built panel with AI-matched supersessions — panel builders and contractors self-serve without calling the factory.
Aging boards surface as priced retrofit, protection-upgrade and modernisation offers, with obsolescence and compliance modelled into the quote.
Thermographic inspection, preventive-maintenance and extended-coverage contracts configured, priced from lifecycle cost, and bundled at the point of sale.
Panel builders, distributors and engineering — one engine.
Quote a valid, compliant, priced panel in minutes from a specification — no engineering call for standard boards.
Self-service quoting inside your tiered pricing and access rules, with spares and upgrades on the same platform.
Only genuinely non-standard boards route to review, with a rules-validated, standards-checked configuration handed off — not a spreadsheet.
ServiceCPQ vs generic CPQ for electrical equipment.
Generic CPQ handles a flat option list. Panel quoting needs a component-level BOM, standards and compatibility rules, and a drawing — on the same commercial object.
| Capability | Generic CPQ | ServiceCPQ |
|---|---|---|
| BOM-level panel configuration | Flat option list, not a bill of materials | Component-level BOM priced from live cost + assembly hours |
| Standards & compatibility (IEC 61439 / UL 508A) | Not modelled; compliance checked offline | Rules on the knowledge graph, enforced at quote time |
| GA & single-line drawings | A separate CAD product, separately licensed | Generated from the same schedule as the price |
| Distributor & contractor pricing | Manual price books that drift | Multi-tier pricing enforced automatically |
| Aftermarket spares & upgrades | Separate systems or spreadsheets | One engine from new panel to retrofit |
Panels, switchgear and control systems. Any configuration model.
Frequently asked questions
It is configure, price, quote software built for makers of electrical panels, switchgear, motor control centres and control systems — configuring at bill-of-materials level, enforcing component compatibility and IEC 61439 / UL 508A standards, applying multi-tier distributor and contractor pricing, generating general-arrangement and single-line drawings, and extending the same engine to aftermarket spares, upgrades and maintenance.
Yes. A panel is quoted as its bill of materials — breakers, busbars, enclosure, metering, wiring — priced from live component cost plus assembly hours, so the quote reflects what the board actually costs to build, and margin is measured after assembly hours rather than guessed at the start.
Yes. Compatibility (breaker-to-busbar rating, enclosure fit, IP rating) and standards (IEC 61439, UL 508A, form of separation, short-circuit withstand) are modelled as rules on the knowledge graph and checked in real time, so a non-buildable or non-compliant board cannot be quoted.
Yes. General-arrangement layouts and single-line diagrams are generated from the same schedule that produced the price and the BOM, so a drawing goes out with every quote without a separate CAD step or a CAD seat — and it updates automatically when the configuration changes.
Yes. A config-aware storefront lets them configure, price and order panels, spares and upgrades within the tiered pricing and access rules you set — no inside sales for routine transactions.
