Beyond Mainstream CPQ: How B2B Manufacturers Configure Billions of Variants

CPQ in complex B2B manufacturing is different from mainstream CPQ. Instead of quoting from a fixed catalog, B2B manufacturers must support deep configuration and customization, often across billions of variants and BOM structures, while ensuring every quote is manufacturable and accurate.

As product complexity grows, mainstream CPQ systems struggle to meet demands, especially when long lead times mean products may change between quote and delivery, leading to poor performance and frustrated users.

Time for a new approach.

In this Tech Talk, Jens Ellebæk, Consulting Offerings Manager at Configit, shows how Configit’s Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) approach and Virtual Tabulation® (VT™) compilation technology deliver a fast, reliable product configuration for complex customizable products. Jens walks through the quoting lifecycle - across roles and tools - and shows why they must rely on the same configurator.

You will learn how to:

• Address B2B manufacturing CPQ needs that go beyond mainstream CPQ – deep configuration at scale
• Improve performance and guidance quality with Virtual Tabulation® (VT™) compilation technology
• Prevent errors and ensure deliverability by aligning PLM, ERP, and CPQ – from quote to delivery

Watch now to learn why standard CPQ solutions struggle to meet the demands of B2B manufacturers.
