The primary value you will receive from Configurator is faster, more accurate order processing, with fewer
errors in order entry, manufacturing and shipment. Configurator provides complete rules-based product
configuration, streamlining and improving the customer experience, while reducing time, cost and errors.
Reduces selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A). Comprehensive configuration rules increase efficiency and eliminate errors even for the most complex product configurations.
Reduces average order lead time. Fast, simple configuration helps salespeople to quickly configure orders and get customer sign-off, secure that manufacturing can build the final configuration.
Increases average revenue per sales order. Customers are automatically prompted to select additional options and accessories as part of the configuration process.
Reduces cost of sales. Order configurations comply with pre-defined engineering rules using standardized
components and automatically generate product structures and routings for manufacturing without the need for engineer intervention. This reduces rework and costly mistakes.
Reduces inventory. Module forecasting and manufacturing support mass customization without inflating inventory.
Improves delivery lead time. Seamless integration between the sales configuration and the manufacturing product configuration reduces the time from order to shipment.
Decreases service costs. Complete configuration information is maintained for each product shipped to a customer, making it easier to plan spares and provide after-sales service.
Increases operating income margin. Configuration rules increase efficiency, eliminate non-value add processes and reduce costly errors.
Helps grow revenues. By reducing the need for engineers to assist with the selling process, they can focus on design and innovation, driving growth and market expansion.
