Hive CPQ
About Hive CPQ
Hive CPQ is a powerful and user-friendly Configure, Price, Quote solution for manufacturers of complex products. It empowers sales representatives, distributors, and end customers to configure products in 3D, view real-time pricing, and generate quotes or technical sheets. The rule-based engine instantly verifies all product configurations, guaranteeing that only error-free orders can be placed.
With Hive CPQ, manufacturers create a faster and more efficient sales process. Creating a quote the traditional way typically takes more than one hour, while our customers complete the process in just five minutes. By enabling distributors and customers to configure their own products, Hive CPQ creates a unique buying experience, making manufacturers easy to buy from.
Our software is easy to use and supports the sales process from A to Z. Impress customers with photorealistic 3D renders, generate an advanced Bill Of Materials (BOM), and send product-specific technical sheets or warranty documents to customers. Follow up on orders online and simplify identifying and ordering spare parts through exploded views and serial numbers. Or plug the configurator in your website to generate qualified leads.
Hive CPQ is very straightforward to implement and maintain in our low-code Design Studio. Build your own configurators by leveraging different components and adding logical behavior with no need for development.

Reviewed on 2021/06/21
Pros
The fast way you can calculate prices with real time prizes.
The hive team does its utmost to keep up with new technologies
Cons
For the time being, I have not found anything that could be improved. An added value would be 3D, but they are already working on that.

More than just a software tool
Reviewed on 2021/05/28
Pros
To begin with, Hive's online CPQ platform does what it is expected to do: it provides an intuitive and simple but very powerful tool to optimize and boost our sales process. We use the tool for the configuration of radiators, which is complex and requires the necessary expertise. Now this can be done in a fraction of the time and is technically always correct.
Also important are the implementation process and -time, plus the good communication and cooperation with the Hive people. The finitial integration was completed in just over two months, and we have been working with it for several months to everyone's satisfaction.
Cons
It is a process. Once you start with it, there are always things that can be improved. Things related to the software and/or to our own needs and customer demands. Everything can be discussed and solutions are presented in mutual consensus.

Hive CPQ is an easy to use product, they have a skilled and professional team and offer good support.
Pros
Hive CPQ is very easy to use for the end users. They are using the latest technologies, it's easy to integrate with other systems using their REST API's and it works well on different browsers and platforms. The product configurator offers a lot of flexibility.
Cons
Some settings are still missing (like the permission to allow or disallow the user to put an order in step 3/4) - but it's a new product and more functionality is still being added.

HiveCPQ changed our lives !
Reviewed on 2021/05/27
Pros
HiveCPQ is a great tool, very easy to implement (with a good help from the HiveCPQ team), very easy to use, it saved us a lot of time, avoiding tons of papers and administrative work. Quotes are made directly by the dealers, which is more convenient for them, we even saw an increase of quotes by 30% ! Ordering process is very smooth, fast and clear... Available in several languages, which is also very good to sell your products worldwide. It really changed our lives, far less stress in the back office and more time dedicated to customer service !
Cons
nothing to say.... the team is always helpful, the live chat option is really great, for us as for our dealers.
Response from Hive CPQ
Always a pleasure doing business with you, Gilles! Thank you for the kind words.
