AI score breakdown — 6 dimensions

SMB implementability 25%70
Partner-assisted but SMB-focused — 3–6 month implementations are common. Some self-guided resources available.
Purpose fit 20%81
Purpose-built for custom and engineer-to-order manufacturers — deep CAD-to-BOM integration, project and job costing, and complex one-off and short-run workflows. Strong vertical depth for ETO/custom manufacturing.
Tech modernity 20%65
Modern cloud deployment but not leading-edge architecture. Functional and sufficient for ETO workflows.

Generally positive reviews from ETO and custom manufacturing shops. Implementation support noted as responsive for the category.
TCO transparency 10%35
No public pricing. Implementation cost estimates require direct sales engagement.
