By connecting your CRM with DriveWorks, sales teams can configure custom products directly within Salesforce, visualize configurations in 3D, generate accurate quotes instantly, and automatically create SOLIDWORKS models, manufacturing drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and production documentation. This integrated workflow eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, accelerates order processing, and ensures a smooth transition from sales to manufacturing.
DriveWorks Integration with Salesforce
Modern manufacturers need more than a standalone CRM—they need a connected sales and engineering platform. DriveWorks integration with Salesforce enables sales teams to configure complex engineer-to-order (ETO) products, generate accurate quotations, and automate engineering processes without leaving the Salesforce environment. By connecting CRM, CPQ, engineering, and manufacturing, businesses can accelerate sales cycles, reduce errors, and improve customer experience.
What is DriveWorks Salesforce Integration?
DriveWorks integrates directly with Salesforce, allowing sales representatives, distributors, and dealers to configure products, calculate pricing, create quotations, and trigger engineering automation from within Salesforce. Instead of manually transferring information between departments, customer and configuration data flows seamlessly from sales to engineering and manufacturing.
Key Benefits
Guided Product Configuration
- Sales teams can configure complex products using rule-driven forms that ensure only valid combinations are selected. This eliminates engineering validation for routine quotations and minimizes costly configuration mistakes.

3D Product Visualization
