“We believe Tacton has been positioned in the Magic Quadrant for multiple years because we are the only manufacturing-focused CPQ software provider that is custom built to meet the unique demands of highly configurable, heavy manufacturing sales and engineering processes,” said Bo Gyldenvang, Chief Executive Officer at Tacton. “Customers turn to us for our unmatched configurator which makes seamless, enterprise-grade b2c-like experiences possible, enabling even the most complex manufactured goods to move to digital selling models. We’re honored to be placed in the Visionaries quadrant and we strive to continue raising the bar for our industry in coming years.”
According to the report, “Visionaries are ahead of most competitors in their product plans and understanding of the market. They anticipate emerging and changing needs and move the market into fresh areas. They have a strong potential to influence the direction of the market, but are limited in terms of execution and/or track record.”
