We’ve added FPX to our product configurator listings.  From their website:

From the beginning of sales intelligence, FPX has been the true leader. We began by inventing the first computer-assisted parts sales system, the first electronic proposal preparation system and the first product data management system. Then, FPX uniquely created the first SaaS sales system to handle complex product configurations…

FPX, a provider of on demand product configuration services, has integrated their configure price quote application with Pervasive ERP and CRM systems.  By way of a middleware connector, FPX channels their quotations to the Pervasive system which in turns processes it in a relevant workflow i.e. raise purchase order, instigate sales workflow, etc.
