A product configurator is a digital tool that allows users to create or personalise the various products in their company's value chain, pursuant to the needs and preferences of their customers. With a product configurator, users can easily use a rule-based method to select the various options and characteristics to create a unique, custom product. It is especially designed for companies that sell customisable products with multiple combinations such as different finishes, dimensions, functionalities, accessories, etc.
The benefits of using a product configurator can be significant for companies. They notably include:
Defines custom products and services, calculates price/cost and issues
necessary documentation.
repcon Pricing & Quoting allows you to improve the productivity of your
sales team and is an effective tool for quickly creating personalised quotes.
You only need to have an updated browser to access repcon Pricing & Quoting securely and create bids. It is an responsive online application that properly adapts to the various devices where it is being viewed.
So you can evolve and change your product independently according to your business’s needs.
Copy bids made for one customer to another or select a portion of the bid and reuse it without forgetting to apply current applicable rules. You’ll also be able to revise an already created bid to adjust either the proposed solution or the price.
Quotes can be found by management field (customer, area, etc.), but also by any of the characteristics of the product or project offered to the customer.
Configure, price, quote (CPQ) software is a tool that helps companies
create accurate and consistent quotes for their projects, products and
services quickly and efficiently.
Price configuration and calculation is done automatically based on previously
set business rules that allow you to select the various options and characteristics
and prevent you from making mistakes both in the configuration and in the
pricing as a price and quote configurator (CPQ) is integrated into management
systems (ERP, CRM, MES, etc.) always with the most recent, accurate information
available, preventing quotes with invalid rates or product options that
are not available at the factory.
Any user, even those without a great deal of technical knowledge, can
create accurate quotes thanks to the smart assistant, which offers guided
and visual sales, even with a geometric 3D engine to offer more realism.
Once the product configuration has been set, the configure, price, quote
(CPQ) software will provide the details of the custom product, the documentation
necessary such as: the technical proposal with prices and a breakdown of
components, drawings or diagrams, BOM or bill of materials for production,
etc.
No, since this software is modular and embeddable, it is possible to implement solely the geometric engine. If you are interested, please get in touch with our specialists, so they can provide an assessment.
