CPQ vs agentic AI for bespoke manufacturing quotes

Why traditional CPQ tools struggle with one-off, heavy engineering packages — and where AI agents fit.

That's where agentic workflows can outperform rigid configuration systems. Enodo is built to understand capabilities, suppliers, subcontractors, and costing logic unique to each manufacturer.
