We offer our CPQ (Configure, Pricing, Quotation) software both as a web service and on-premises.
Our solution supports and automates the sales process for technical products. Customizable for a wide range of capital goods, it enables the creation of cost estimates, sales documents, and even 3D CAD models according to a flexible set of rules. These are extremely valuable features, especially during the time- and cost-sensitive sales phase.
Backend and Frontend
Both the backend and the frontend are web-based and can be accessed via a browser. The backend is where the basic product structure is defined. Products are organized hierarchically. They typically include a set of parameters that precisely describe the product (e.g., cost, length measurements, etc.) and are determined as needed during the configuration process.
Furthermore, the individual steps that must be completed as part of a configuration process are defined in the backend. In addition to standard modules, such as a selection or dimensioning step, user-specific steps can also be programmed and stored.
In the front end, the end user goes through the defined steps to specify the product variant. The front end can be seamlessly embedded into an existing website and visually customized. If needed, a store function can be used. At the end of the configuration process, a complete product structure is generated.
Additional Features
Integrating our CPQ software with our simulation methods is a natural fit. These methods can be used both during the sales phase and as part of our after-sales service.
Here’s an example from the tooling industry: In this context, a cutting tool can be configured for a specific application. A cutting simulation supports this process. If the customer subsequently wants to use this tool on a different material, the cutting simulation in the configurator can then be reused to calculate new cutting parameters in advance.
