Add CPQ to Your ERP System

What is CPQ?

Implementing a Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solution enables companies, of all sizes and across all industries, to cost-effectively offer configurable products, improve customer experience and optimize processes.

CPQ software captures the knowledge, information, and decisions that sales and engineering teams use to order and design products.

DriveWorks CPQ for Manufacturing (CPQM) goes further than traditional CPQ solutions.

DriveWorks is an industry-leading design automation and configuration software that offers a CPQM solution. It allows you to configure custom products on any device, anywhere, and automatically create sales documents and manufacturing data.

DriveWorks connects seamlessly with your DELMIAWorks ERP system to input accurate and up-to-date information into your order process. With the information captured and defined, the software can be set up to calculate values, make relevant decisions and perform actions.

Integrating the two solutions helps to sell and manufacture complex configurable products faster, more efficiently, and with greater accuracy, giving you a competitive edge.

Benefits of DriveWorks CPQ for Manufacturing

Streamlining Your Order Process

DriveWorks automatically creates order-specific quotes, sales documentation and account information for your other company systems, including DELMIAWorks. Automatically generate accurate SOLIDWORKS manufacturing parts, assemblies, and drawings for each order. Manufacturing documents, such as BOMs, can be sent and received directly to and from your DELMIAWorks ERP system, resulting in easier and more efficient revisions.

Customizable workflows in DriveWorks give complete control over which tasks are completed, by who, and when. Modify approval processes and customer journeys to improve the efficiency of your sales cycle. Send automatic status updates to improve communication between departments and customers.

Apply user permissions to give specific users or teams the ability to perform specific actions in the workflow. Control who can configure products, apply discounts, approve designs and more.

Reduce Errors

The process of manually inputting data and estimating pricing for a configured product is often slow and prone to errors. Guided selling ensures sales teams quickly gather the required information for each custom order.

A CPQ system means quotes are generated accurately, based on correct customer requirements – reducing design changes and speeding up sales cycles.

The bi-directional data transfer between DriveWorks and DELMIAWorks allows you to automatically create and modify sales and manufacturing documentation, including bills of materials, ensuring all information is accurate and up-to-date.

DriveWorks’ rules-based guided selling ensures customers and sales teams are only able to order valid configurations, with the correct components.

Improve Customer Experience

DriveWorks includes a range of features to improve user experience when configuring products.

Bring real-time pricing information from your DELMIAWorks ERP system into your DriveWorks configurator. Prices update as product options are selected, allowing customers to make informed decisions and choose options that balance their requirements and budget.

3D visualization helps communicate complicated design details, enabling customers to understand product options as they configure. Using guided selling highlights up-sell and cross-sell options to customers at the right time.

Save Time

Integrating DriveWorks with your DELMIAWorks ERP system shortens your sales cycle in various ways.

Without using a CPQ solution, it can be complex and time-consuming for even the most experienced salespeople to create sales documents and calculate pricing, especially when discounts are applied. By connecting to your CRM and ERP systems, DriveWorks automates this process, freeing up valuable resources to focus on high-value tasks with guaranteed ROI.

Showing customers exactly what their end-product will look like with 3D visualizations reduces the chance of revisions and time-consuming design changes.

DriveWorks enables you to save time across your organisation. Create a positive experience for existing and new employees. Quickly and easily train new team members with intelligent and easy to use guided selling. Automation means employees are more productive, and spend their time on more rewarding projects and tasks.

“Adopting Digital Transformation is one way of enabling any business to compete in a global market. Passing and translating data seamlessly internally and externally compresses process time, and reduces (and in some cases eliminates) errors.

It allows mundane repetitive tasks to be automated and means that there is more time for humans to do what WE do best, interact, communicate and innovate.”

– Glen Smith, DriveWorks CEO

CPQ Should Be Part of Your Digital Strategy

Digital transformation has so many possibilities for manufacturers and as more and more businesses embrace digital technologies and implement digital tools, overall customer experience is improving.

Customers are now expecting better, more digital, more efficient processes, resulting in quicker product lead times and products that meet their exact requirements.

Using one digital tool, such as an ERP system is not enough to keep up with this demand. Manufacturers need to do more to keep up with competitors and exceed customer expectations.

Adding a tool such as DriveWorks alongside your existing processes enables you to offer cost-effective configurable products, improve your customer’s experience and optimize your processes.
