The packaging and processing industry is evolving fast. Customers demand machines that can adapt to new packaging formats, integrate with complex production lines, and remain future-proof for tomorrow’s product innovations.
But selling these machines is not easy. Quotes are often slow, error-prone, and dependent on engineering support. Dealers struggle to configure solutions independently, while sales teams wrestle with outdated spreadsheets and disconnected systems. In a world where buyers expect instant responses, these bottlenecks cost deals.
That’s why more and more packaging and processing manufacturers are turning to Configure-Price-Quote (CPQ) software, and specifically to Elfsquad CPQ. Built for complex manufacturing, Elfsquad helps companies transform their sales processes from manual and error-prone to fast, scalable, and future-ready.
Here are the 4 reasons why Elfsquad CPQ is the go-to solution for packaging and processing manufacturers.
Packaging lines are modular by nature - fillers, coders, sealers, detectors, and more. One small change, such as a switch to compostable film, can impact the entire setup.
With Elfsquad, manufacturers can model machines in modular form while embedding all configuration rules. This ensures every possible setup is valid, without limiting flexibility. Sales teams and dealers can explore countless variations, confident that every quote complies with engineering and regulatory standards.
The result: faster configurations, fewer mistakes, and quotes that are production-ready from the start.
Quoting often gets stuck because knowledge lives in scattered PDFs, spreadsheets, or inside people’s heads. Prices might be outdated, rules unclear, and documents inconsistent.
Elfsquad solves this by providing a central platform for all product knowledge, pricing, and documents. Sales reps, dealers, and product managers all work with the same source of truth. Updates are instantly reflected everywhere, reducing errors and keeping teams aligned.
The result: consistent, accurate information across the entire sales channel.
In packaging and processing, speed wins deals. Yet many manufacturers still take days or weeks to prepare a single quote, with multiple rounds of back-and-forth between sales and engineering.
Elfsquad changes that. Built-in validations and approval flows allow quotes to be generated in hours instead of weeks. BOMs, CAD drawings, and sales documents are created automatically, cutting out manual steps. Dealers can configure and quote independently, reducing pressure on HQ.
The result: sales teams spend less time checking, more time selling - and customers get answers faster.
Disconnected systems are a silent killer. When ERP, CAD, CRM, and quoting don’t align, errors multiply. Specs get lost, prices mismatch, and production runs the wrong version.
Elfsquad eliminates these risks with seamless integrations. ERP updates pricing instantly, CAD adjusts drawings automatically, and CRM tracks opportunities in real time. Everyone works in sync, from the first sales conversation to the final invoice.
The result: no more manual re-entry, no more mismatched data. Just a connected, accurate workflow.
The packaging and processing industry is too complex and too competitive for slow, manual quoting processes. To stay ahead, manufacturers must embrace tools that combine speed, structure, and scalability.
Elfsquad CPQ provides exactly that:
Flexibility without errors
One source of truth
Quotes in hours, not weeks
A fully connected workflow
With Elfsquad, packaging and processing manufacturers can empower dealers, free up engineers, and deliver accurate, production-ready quotes at scale.
