CPQ software for textile machinery manufacturers
Mercura is CPQ software for machinery manufacturers. This live StenterLine example shows how width, modules, and compatibility rules become one quote.
Interactive example · No account required
Interactive demo
Live Mercura tenant. StenterLine Example is an illustrative catalogue, not a customer installation. Your own width rules and price lists drive a production deployment.
Four steps in every stenter finishing quote
The live demo above follows the same path: band first, then line, modules, and commercial terms.
- 01
Finished fabric width band
Nominal bands (for example 2800, 3200, 3600 mm) decide which stenter frames stay on the list. Invalid frames disappear instead of failing at the end.
- 02
Stenter frame and heat-set oven
Frame family and oven module priced together. Dealer sees list price update as options change.
- 03
Width modules and handling kits
Extension modules plus entry and exit kits on the same configuration, as bill-of-material lines the mill expects.
- 04
Commercial terms
Region and discount on the same document, so sales and product teams can audit one line price.
From spreadsheets and engineering callbacks to guided quoting
Before Mercura
- Sales collects width and module requirements in email or Excel.
- Product ops checks frame catalogues by hand for compatibility.
- Engineering answers routine band questions that rules could enforce.
- Pricing is assembled across lists, regions, and partial quotes.
With Mercura
- Requirements are captured in a guided configuration session.
- Approved product rules control which frames and modules stay available.
- Dealers and inside sales share the same logic, and exceptions still go to engineering.
- Commercial documents can use the same validated configuration data.
What Mercura carries for textile finishing sales
The live configurator is one form. These capabilities keep dealer quotes aligned with maintainable rules.
- Rules-based configuration Encode width bands and module compatibility as explicit rules — not tribal knowledge in email. Explore →
- Maintainable CPQ system Flat logic product teams can maintain after go-live. Explore →
- Dealer portal configurator Partners quote the same valid line combinations the OEM approved. Explore →
- Automated quote generation Turn a valid stenter configuration into a commercial PDF. Explore →
Product ops defines bands. CPQ applies them. ERP ships the order.
CPQ does not replace heat-set process engineering. It carries width-band and module rules dealers can quote against.
| Role | Owns | Does not own |
|---|---|---|
| Product ops / engineering | Which frame bands match which finished widths, which modules nest, and when engineering review is required. | Discount policy or dealer CRM. |
| Mercura CPQ | Guided dealer quote inside those rules: hide invalid frames, price line modules, one commercial PDF. | Plant layout, commissioning sign-off, or manufacturing BOM release. |
| ERP | Order, production, and invoice after the configuration is accepted. | Maintaining the width-band model inside CPQ. |
Questions from sales and product teams
Stenter frames, heat-set ovens, and dealer channels.
Is this only for weaving and spinning machines?
This page and demo focus on finishing: stenter frames, heat-set lines, and width modules sold through dealers. Weaving configurators are a different catalogue and rule set.
Does CPQ replace our heat-set process engineering?
No. Engineering still owns process limits, oven zoning, and safety. CPQ applies the commercial width-band and module rules you define so dealers quote valid line combinations.
Can product ops maintain rules without the implementation partner?
That is the design goal: readable constraints, change notes, and version history so width-band updates do not require script specialists. Governance workflows can gate publish while daily maintenance stays internal.
How do dealers and inside sales share one quote?
The demo walks a dealer path: width band, line modules, and discount on one quote. Inside sales uses the same rules. Account-specific price lists can layer on the same form in production.
Is the interactive demo based on real machinery?
It is an illustrative StenterLine Example catalogue with demonstration rules on a live Mercura tenant. A production deployment uses your equipment families and your engineering and pricing rules.
Can Mercura configure different types of textile machinery?
Manufacturers model configurable product families in Mercura; scope depends on your equipment and rules. This demo shows finishing (stenter/heat-set), not weaving or spinning catalogues out of the box.
