How a product configurator (CPQ) supports processes in the company

Let your sales department and your customers configure individual product variants without errors and rely on smooth, end-to-end processes throughout your company.

Find out how you can ensure that your offerings not only meet customer needs, but are also producible, deliverable, functional and compatible.

With a product configurator, you can create a company-wide definition of valid product variants. These can then be used to generate millions of profitable product variants – all with a simple user interface for your sales team.

Advantages of rule-based configuration

A modern configurator enables efficient product configuration by defining configuration logic, data and user interface without programming knowledge. Product experts can use powerful modeling tools to set up product architectures, define and validate attribute constraints and define the parts list structure. Errors are detected at an early stage.

With a rule-based approach and attributes, modules and parts can be intelligently combined, minimizing maintenance and error rates. Configuration follows a set of rules that accelerates the transition from Engineer-to-Order to Configure-to-Order.

Configure according to customer requirements

Configure Price Quote (CPQ) solutions enable demand-driven product configuration by automatically translating customer needs into technical solutions and sales BOMs. Sales staff, partners or customers can configure complex products without errors while CPQ creates the technical solution.

By optimizing for purchase-critical factors such as weight, performance or environmental friendliness, CPQ offers the best possible option, which not only facilitates sales but also improves customer service.

Configure anything

It can be a challenge to make large systems of interconnected and interdependent products configurable in a Configure Price Quote system, e.g. for HVAC, plant concepts, production lines or pump systems.

With an intelligent CPQ configurator, you can split large configuration questions into smaller parts and thus avoid performance problems. Your employees can reorder and rearrange the parts in the system while you ensure a valid overall system configuration.

If you still think your product is too complex for a configurator, take a look at our references and talk to us.
