Understanding PROS Smart CPQ

PROS Smart CPQ sits within the PROS portfolio, which is widely associated with pricing science and dynamic pricing. It is generally positioned for organizations that prioritize sophisticated pricing alongside quoting.

For businesses whose central challenge is optimizing price, a pricing-led platform can be compelling. Manufacturers of complex, configurable products often face a different first hurdle: getting the configuration itself right so the quote is valid and buildable. The right choice depends on whether pricing optimization or product configuration is your primary bottleneck.

Ignitionary leads with configuration, then prices and quotes the result. Our CPQ software is purpose-built for engineered products, and our what is CPQ software primer plus best CPQ software guide help frame the tradeoffs.
