Extend IFS Cloud with a Full Sales Configurator and CPQ Layer

The only CPQ built to enhance, not replace, your ERP. Mercura adds the missing sales configuration layer while keeping IFS as the single source of truth.

Why IFS Alone Cannot Handle Complex Sales Configuration

ERP is built for execution, not guided selling.

While IFS is a leader in ETO and project-based manufacturing, its native tools are often engineering-focused and hard for sales teams to use.

  • Engineering Centric: IFS configuration often requires deep technical knowledge.
  • Sales Disconnect: Sales teams struggle to create accurate quotes without engineering support.
  • Manual Handoffs: Transferring specs from sales to engineering in IFS can be slow and error-prone.
  • No Visualization: Standard IFS screens don't offer interactive 3D product previews.

Key benefits of IFS integration

Automated handoff from quote to production

With Mercura CPQ, your team can configure products, generate accurate quotes, and create detailed orders that flow directly into IFS for production planning. Eliminate manual entry and reduce costly handover errors.

Advanced configurator for complex product logic

Support for nested configurations, rules-based dependencies, pricing formulas, and real-time 2D/3D visualization makes Mercura ideal for manufacturers with advanced configuration needs.

Accelerate and simplify CPQ processes

Mercura CPQ shortens your sales cycle by guiding users through product configuration, automating pricing, and ensuring that quotes align with your IFS setup, from engineering to delivery.

Seamless Data Flow Architecture

Mercura integrates deeply with IFS Cloud, ensuring data ownership remains in the ERP while providing a superior sales experience. No data duplication, just real-time synchronization.
