As a technologically oriented company with an extensive portfolio, countless configuration options, and variants of your products are a challenge for sales and production. Immense expertise is sometimes required for product configuration, price calculation, and quotation preparation. The greater the number of possible variants, the greater the susceptibility to errors and the greater the time required. Preliminary calculation and sizing processes create a strong foundation for mapping even the most complex product portfolios without mistakes.
By integrating calculation and sizing in the configuration process, you ensure that your products precisely meet the individual requirements and specifications of your customers.
Benefit from faster and more efficient quote generation: this leads to shorter throughput times and improved responsiveness to customer inquiries.
Determine the optimum product configuration to minimize material and production costs. This helps to increase your competitiveness and profitability.
“How?” instead of “What?”! By determining the exact application scenario, aligning the calculation, and sizing accordingly, you create the product your customer needs.
In discrete manufacturing, especially in mechanical and plant engineering, we deal with millions, sometimes even billions, of variants and hundreds of product features. The fact that the configured machine elements are installed in systems, which in turn impose restrictions, increases the degree of complexity. This is because a component must meet exact requirements in practice about various technical parameters such as installation space, performance, and service life. Calculation and sizing processes start precisely at this “operating point” and create the basis on which you can build your configuration and thus create the ideal product for your customer.
Seamlessly integrate our engineering calculation and sizing software with the ERP, CRM, PIM, CAD, and PLM systems across your IT landscape to unlock the full potential of your business processes. With ready-to-use standard interfaces, you can reduce manual effort and data maintenance errors while leveraging your existing systems as a single source of truth. During the configuration process, real-time access to product and customer data helps reduce quoting errors, lower costs, and drive end-to-end process automation.
Do the many variants of your products present you with challenges in the configuration process? Companies that offer individual components and parts, particularly, are confronted with high complexity when calculating the necessary technical operating parameters. The process is usually error-prone and lengthy, requiring a broad range of expertise that often spreads across several people. A CPQ solution can make your sales process more efficient using rules and dependencies; it supports error-free product configuration, individual price calculation, and the creation of customized offers.
3PQ® CONFIGURATION was developed as a knowledge-based configuration system specifically for demanding and complex applications and guarantees security, stability, and maximum performance. Regardless of whether it is used as a self-service solution for your customers, as a CPQ system for your sales department or as a configurator supporting production.
