Sketchup as CPQ
-
A few years ago we did some Ruby work to draw our product and make a bill of materials. Ultimately we would import the BOM into our ERP software to create sales orders
But we kinda lost interest
Now we are thinking about it again, our product is too complex for most off the shelf CPQ, and I fear we would spend as much time customizing an existing app as we would having something made from scratch in PHP (for example)
Any thoughts about Sketchup as a quoting tool? -
