Overview

PTC is a global leader in digital transformation technologies for industrial companies. Through its expansive portfolio—spanning CAD, PLM, IIoT, and AR—PTC enables its customers to increase operational efficiency, drive innovation, and elevate workforce productivity.

With a rich ecosystem of software products and partner services, PTC provides hundreds of service offerings designed to help customers implement, adopt, and extract maximum value from their technology investments.

But with scale came complexity—and a clear need for a more agile, digital-first approach to managing services.

Challenges Before BigTime Services CPQ (formerly Workrails)

Manual, Time-Consuming Processes: PTC’s large services business relied on labor-intensive workflows to build and maintain service packages across multiple systems. Quote creation and SOW generation were slow, repetitive, and error-prone.

Fragmented Catalog Management: The company attempted to build an internal catalog, but it was hard to maintain and offered limited utility—no pricing, no automation, and no document generation. It was informational at best.

Sales Enablement Bottlenecks: Sales and services teams struggled to efficiently assemble and price service offers, slowing down the buying experience and impacting customer satisfaction.

Limited Scalability: Without a unified system to guide service creation and configuration, PTC couldn’t keep pace with evolving customer needs—or scale service offerings as quickly as the business demanded.

The BigTime Services CPQ Solution

PTC partnered with BigTime Services CPQ (formerly Workrails) to fully digitize how services are created, maintained, and delivered—replacing legacy tools with a centralized platform for end-to-end services lifecycle management.

With BigTime Services CPQ, PTC now has a single source of truth for its entire services portfolio. Internal teams can spin up new service packages in minutes, configure them into prescriptive, dynamic sales paths, and align them with the exact software the customer has purchased.

Sales and customer-facing teams are empowered to:

  • Build tailored service packages in real time
  • Instantly generate supporting documentation
  • Dynamically calculate the required service credits
  • Confidently deliver consistent and compliant offers

The result: a digital, scalable, and intelligent services engine—fueling faster deals and stronger customer outcomes.

BigTime Services CPQ has been a tremendous partner in helping us drive innovation for our Service Catalog, accelerate our time to market, and ultimately drive customer adoption.
