Aeion Pricing vs Salesforce CPQ & Oracle
Discover why industrial manufacturers and B2B wholesalers are abandoning slow, six-figure enterprise CPQ implementations for an Edge-calculated, 3D-integrated Pricing OS.
Calculate Your B2B Savings
Decisive Architectural Advantages
The End of API Latency
Complex B2B quotes built in Salesforce or Oracle often take seconds to process as they round-trip to the cloud server, creating a frustrating experience. Aeion Pricing compiles your logic into a WebAssembly (Wasm) binary. This binary executes directly on your user's device, calculating thousands of permutations in under 10 milliseconds.
Offline Field Sales
Sales reps in factories or remote construction sites don't always have reliable internet. Because the Wasm engine executes locally on the Aeion PWA, reps can configure massive B2B orders entirely offline. The OS natively queues the transaction and syncs to the CRM the moment they regain connectivity.
Native 3D Integration
Typically, marrying CPQ logic to a 3D visualizer requires an expensive third-party vendor like Threekit and thousands of hours of custom API plumbing. Aeion OS builds this natively. The Pricing module communicates with the Spatial module via the Neural Bus. As a user configures options, the 3D holographic rendering updates instantly in the browser.
Zero-Fee Foundation
We believe B2B commerce is standard commerce. The foundational features—managing Wholesale Price Lists, Priority Resolution, and Volume Tiers—are included for free as a core platform module, destroying the "Enterprise Upcharge" tactics of legacy SaaS providers.
Where Salesforce CPQ and Oracle Still Win
We're not going to pretend the incumbents have no reasons to exist — they dominate the category for real reasons, and if the following describe you, they're the honest choice:
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The visual logic builder in the Pricing module allows you to easily map your configuration rules directly to the `.glb` files stored in your Spatial library, requiring zero custom rendering code.
Yes. The Priority Resolution Engine handles overlapping logic perfectly. If a customer is a "Wholesaler" but there is an active "Black Friday" global sale, the engine automatically calculates and delivers the mathematical best price based on your administrative priority settings.
Real. When you save a pricing matrix, Aeion compiles the rule logic into a runnable WebAssembly binary that executes on the device — a rep's iPad, a PWA, or the customer's browser — computing the quote in under 10ms with no server round-trip. Server-side rule resolution is also generally available for standard cart interactions, so you're not forced into the edge path for every scenario.
The Pricing module talks to the Spatial module over the Neural Bus. When a shopper selects an option, the logic engine evaluates the constraints (e.g., "1000W engine requires the heavy-duty chassis") and the Neural Bus tells the Spatial engine which `.glb` assets to fetch and render — so the price and the 3D model update from the same event, not two disconnected systems.
Yes. Beyond live FX conversion, you can set Explicit Currency Overrides — hardcode a product at €110 for European customers rather than converting $100 dynamically — and Aeion maps the customer's region to that price list, bypassing volatile conversion APIs when you want a fixed margin.
