Even though you may be seeking a singular answer, EPLAN is not a the type of product that you can pick up off the shelf and pop in your trolley; sadly, there’s no ultimate baseline figure.
Purchasing an EPLAN licence is very similar to purchasing a designer kitchen; you wouldn’t walk into a kitchen showroom and ask for a price without specifying the number of cabinets you need. Similarly, your EPLAN software price depends on your specific needs.
When you enquire about our packages, we take the time to find out what internal procedures you have, which the systems you use, any industry-related requirements and challenges you may face. We will analyse your particular issues and how any potential bottlenecks can be eased or removed.
The team will sit down with your business to discuss your current process.
After we find out all of these important details, we evaluate your feedback carefully and return with our recommendations. We will also schedule a demonstration that showcases your tailor-made solution.
Some of the most frequent comments about pain points come down to the time spent on manual work: “Cable schedules are 100% manual and take around two days per project” or “10% of my time is spent wire numbering” or even “20% of my time is printing wire labels”.
Modern CAE software systems enable these and many other time-consuming manual functions to be performed automatically and almost instantaneously. By using a well-chosen CAE package, panel builders can benefit from an increase in productivity, shorter project turnaround times and improvements in product quality.

What’s more, with repetitive data entry and manual data conversion no longer needed, product development can be made more efficient. This frees up engineering time for further innovation. Lastly, continual data exchange increases overall project quality and accelerates the entire engineering process in a sustainable way.
Our suggestions usually include a calculation estimating the amount of time being lost due to repetitive manual tasks, and time lost due to errors. Based on these calculations, we will then suggest the right EPLAN package and licence level to remove these burdens and optimise your business operations. Any investment into EPLAN is quickly recouped; imagine the overall return on investment through time savings achieved and the reduction of design errors.
EPLAN Subscription
EPLAN sells licenses via subscription, removing the need for an expensive upfront investment. Customers can then have more flexibility over licenses and adjust them according to their current needs and requirements. For example, if you need the fluid add-on for one project or have a big project that will require more licenses, scale-up and purchase those for just one year and then you can reassess in 12 months.
If you are still weighing up the benefits, here are 10 reasons for subscribing to the EPLAN software.
EPLAN has researched ways in which the design and manufacture of control cabinets and switchgear can be made easier and more efficient. Discover these findings in the below white paper:
