An Infor CPQ Alternative for Engineered Products
An Infor CPQ alternative is another configure-price-quote platform that can sit in front of an Infor ERP, or any other ERP, and produce valid configurations, prices and orders. Infor CPQ is Infor's own rules-driven, visual CPQ and integrates with its ERPs. Ignitionary is an independent option for industrial manufacturers: engineering rules and cost-based pricing, quotes with a BOM and STL or DXF files, published pricing from $1,500 a month, and connectors for Infor SyteLine, LN and M3 as well as non-Infor ERPs.
Infor CPQ at a glance
On its website and in its documentation, Infor describes Infor CPQ as:
- A rules-driven platform for visual quoting and dynamic pricing, with interactive 2D and 3D visualization of the configured product.
- Generating order details such as SKUs, BOMs, routings and kitted packing instructions from each configuration.
- Including a sales portal for reps and partners to configure, price and quote.
- Offering a dynamically generated, as-configured drawing of the product during configuration.
- Integrated with Infor ERPs: a CPQ Configurator for Infor LN, configurable items in SyteLine, and CPQ for M3.
If your whole stack is Infor and you want one vendor, that tight integration is a real advantage. The rest of this page is about when an independent CPQ is the better fit.

Infor CPQ is likely the better fit if
- You run Infor end to end and want CPQ from the same vendor and support contract.
- You need Infor's partner or dealer sales portal alongside Infor CRM.
- Your Infor partner already maintains your configuration models.
Ignitionary is likely the better fit if
- You want to start with one engineered product line and a fixed-scope implementation, with prices you can see up front.
- You run a mix of ERPs, or may move off Infor, and want the configurator to stay put.
- Your quotes need engineering calculations and STL or DXF files, and you want a CAD API you can call.

Frequently asked questions
For industrial manufacturers quoting engineered products, Ignitionary is an independent alternative: engineering rules, cost-based pricing, quotes with a BOM and STL or DXF files, and connectors for Infor SyteLine, LN and M3 as well as SAP, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 and others, with published pricing from $1,500 a month.
Yes. Ignitionary reads items, BOMs, routings, costs and prices from Infor SyteLine, LN or M3 and writes configured orders back, through an ERP connector built during implementation against the APIs your Infor deployment exposes.
Yes. The live demo at demo.ignitionary.io needs no signup. Configure a tubular heating element, watch the engineering rules and price update, and download the STL, DXF and spec sheet the configuration produces.
Sales reps use the configurator in a browser and are usually quoting after a short walkthrough. The people who maintain rules and pricing are trained during implementation, which for Core is fixed-scope and includes training and go-live. For Infor CPQ training, ask Infor or your Infor partner.
Ignitionary publishes its prices: Core $1,500, Growth $3,500 and Scale $6,500 a month, with implementation from $10,000. Infor did not publish CPQ prices on its product page when we checked, so ask Infor or your partner for a quote to compare.
