Janus CPQ
The AI-native CPQ for discrete manufacturers

Know more.

Janus is an AI-native CPQ that uses the real data from your business to create a knowledge base of every product, customer, and contact from your ERP. It uses this knowledge to catch opportunity and risk in quotes before they get out the door.

How Janus is different

AI knowledge that’s grounded in your data.

Unlike other tools that staple a chatbot onto a catalog, Janus builds a living profile for every single product, customer, and contact. It updates its knowledge every time there’s a new action on a data point and is able to consider your pricing rules and customer-specific details when advising with a quote. Knowledge is updated automatically. Janus gets better with every use.

You never write these. Janus builds and maintains them as your team quotes. The advice on quote #400 is sharper than it was on quote #1.

Ready to use in a week, not months.

Other CPQ providers want 6 months and a re-implemented catalog. Janus starts learning your data the same day it’s connected to it.

Margin protection, line by line
Every line is checked against your real cost basis, volume tiers, and pricing rules as the quote is built, so the 6%-under-floor line gets flagged before it ships, not found in next quarter’s review.
Guided selling, grounded in your ERP
Janus reads the catalog, costs, pricing rules, and order history you already maintain, then suggests the accessories and service lines this customer usually buys, at the price they last paid. Learned from your data, not rules you had to author.
Running a homegrown ERP?
Start with spreadsheet exports of your catalog, customers, and order history, for grounded advice on day one, no integration project. A direct connector can follow when you’re ready.
Your reps stay in control
Three modes per quote: review, approve, edit. In the default mode Janus can’t change a thing: every suggested edit shows inline and waits for a human click. Every change is logged and undoable.
Answers for the sales manager
Win rates, quote pipeline, per-rep performance, monthly trends. Ask in plain English, like “chart won value by month,” and get the chart, computed from your actual quotes and ERP history.
Quote-to-order sent to your ERP
Approved quotes flow back to your ERP as orders. No copy-paste, no version drift between the quote your customer signed and the order your shop runs. Available wherever your ERP exposes a connector for order write-back.
Pricing rules

Pricing rules you write in plain English

Tell Janus your pricing rules the same way you’d explain them to a new rep. Janus will interview you and build a structured rule for you to use. It’s then applied deterministically on every quote, with its effect visible on the line, never silently. If you prefer boxes and arrows, you can use our visual editor to build a rule and Janus is able to help.

You describe it
“Distributors get 12% off list on orders of 50 units or more — but never let a line go below 30% margin.”
Janus drafts the rule — you approve it before it exists
Janus enforces it

Who it’s for

Janus fits a specific kind of shop. If this is you, a pilot takes days.

Mid-market discrete manufacturers
$20M–$200M in annual revenue
Fabrication, machining, industrial equipment, assembly, and custom job shops
A team of reps quoting configured, made-to-order work every day
