What Is Agile CPQ?

Efficiency and execution speed are critical drivers of business success. Traditional CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) solutions are often rigid, complex to manage, and poorly suited to today’s fast-evolving markets. In response, a new Agile approach to sales has emerged – offering advanced automation, flexibility, and rapid deployment.

Agile CPQ is designed to streamline and automate the entire configuration, pricing, and quoting process in B2B sales. Built on a low-code architecture with an intuitive interface, it eliminates the need for constant IT support, empowering users to update product catalogs, pricing, and offers in real time – without complex development cycles.
