Manufacturers of custom packaging lines face intricate configuration challenges, from integrating conveyors, fillers, and labelers to meeting industry-specific standards and production capacities. Quoting these solutions manually is time-consuming, prone to errors, and often delays project approvals. A modern CPQ platform like Mercura helps packaging equipment suppliers configure, price, and quote these complex systems quickly and accurately, without relying on engineering for every request.

Industry Challenges

• Custom configurations involving multiple machines (fillers, sealers, conveyors, robotics).

• Frequent pricing changes due to fluctuating component and automation costs.

• Manual quote creation that requires input from multiple departments.

• Miscommunication between sales and engineering leading to project delays.

• Lack of real-time visualization for customers to see system layouts before ordering.
