High demand for customization is driving the sale of configurable products and is shaping the business model for manufacturers with diverse product portfolios. However, this leads to time-consuming and complex sales processes. Companies are often dependent on individual knowledge carriers, as there is a lack of consistent product and relationship knowledge. Product configuration is crucial here in order to centrally manage product logic and object dependencies. This seamlessly integrates numerous variants into an accessible knowledge base to enable smooth configuration and accelerate sales processes.
Save time and money by outsourcing configuration to your customers and benefit from automatic document generation.
Used by sales or end customers: A product configurator always meets individual requirements and maximizes competitiveness.
Product configuration reduces costs and familiarization with complex product portfolios. For more efficient sales cycles and increased turnover.
Offer customized products based on buildable combinations and give your customers the certainty that they will receive the ideal product.
With a product configurator, you can offer extensive product portfolios – even without in-depth product knowledge. Easily configure products and access all relevant documents, from customized prices to 2D/3D data and dynamically generated data sheets. Digitize your processes holistically and order with just one click or make requests for a smooth business experience!
Instead of seeing configuration and e-commerce as separate systems, we rely on the interaction. In both cases, the same technical principles and databases are relevant, and both are based on topics such as search functions, price calculation, and document generation. We use this foundation to create a double outcome! By integrating our configurators into customer portals and e-commerce systems, we offer seamless overall solutions that are ideal for the needs of manufacturers of multi-variant products.
We rely on graphic configuration and put together visually customized solutions. 3D configuration gives you a competitive advantage and also optimizes sales of your extensive product portfolio. The real-time visualization also gives your customers a clear idea of the configured product, which — thanks to the stored set of rules and regulations — is also 100 percent buildable. Various export formats can then be generated from this, including 2D and 3D, CAD & BIM and VR/AR data, dimension and data sheets, tender texts and parts lists.
As a manufacturer of complex products and assemblies, you are faced with a challenge: your CAD models are filled with immense expertise and have an enormous level of detail. This restricts your flexibility and slows down your configuration process due to lengthy data processing. Overcome this hurdle by intelligently combining your individual parts based on a parametric CAD model and supported by a realistic 360° view in 3D space. Data export in numerous CAD/BIM formats enables seamless transfer to other planning systems and reduces the error rate.
The more complicated the products, the more challenging the configuration is for your customers. A quotation configurator can help you not to lose him in the process. This can be shared via collaborative configuration or used directly by your sales team to make the quotation process more efficient and easy, even without in-depth product knowledge.
One topic that is particularly important in mechanical and plant engineering is sizing. This step occurs before the configuration and determines a component’s technical requirements in practice. Our many years of experience in detailed technical calculation and sizing and the derivation of corresponding results enable us to guide the customer to the optimum configuration efficiently and, thus, to the right product by asking specific questions.
Unleash the full potential of your processes and integrate our product configurator into your IT landscape as a link between ERP, CRM, PIM, CAD, and PLM systems! Reduce manual effort and errors in data maintenance thanks to immediately usable standard interfaces and use existing systems as a single source of truth. This allows you to access comprehensive product and customer data in real-time during the configuration process. For a lower error rate in the quotation process, lower costs, and holistic automation of your sales cycles!
Triple power for your sales process: While 3PQ® CONFIGURATION optimizes quotation and pricing processes as a knowledge-based CPQ and configuration system, 3PQ® COMMERCE ensures that your complex, configurable products land effortlessly in the e-commerce universe. Combined with CADClick® the platform for CAD & BIM catalogs, visual, industry-independent (3D) configuration, and rendering, you can put your sales in the fast lane!
