Streamline complex configuration with CPQ for manufacturing
Configuration for custom products can be complex, leading to bottlenecks and errors in design and sales processes. Complex configuration options can be difficult for sales teams to keep track of and require a high degree of engineering involvement. Implementing a CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) for manufacturing solution optimizes pricing and quoting, enabling businesses to manage complex configurations without compromising accuracy, efficiency, or customer satisfaction.
How CPQ for manufacturing makes complex configurations easy to manage
CPQ solutions enable manufacturers to configure complex products, determine accurate pricing, and generate quotes quickly and efficiently.
Speed & accuracy in quoting
CPQ automatically generates accurate quotes in minutes so salespeople can configure products, calculate prices, and generate proposals in real-time. Shorter quote cycles lead to improved customer experience and increased sales.
Reduced engineering involvement
By automating repetitive design tasks and freeing up valuable resources, CPQ enables engineers to focus on more strategic and rewarding activities. This not only enhances productivity but also provides more time for engineering innovation and creativity.
Improved customer experience
Guided selling in CPQ uses intelligent rules-based technology to guide customers to make valid configuration choices. Users are provided with information about compatibility issues and receive prompts for suitable alternatives, add-ons, and upgrades.
Scalability
CPQ for manufacturing enables custom manufacturers to scale up their operations to meet the growing needs of their business. Growth across markets or adding more complex product configurations is easy with rules-based technology to ensure quality and consistency.
Sales & design team alignment
CPQ for manufacturing enables sales and design team alignment by automating tasks and approval workflows and streamlining communication. Streamlined workflows ensure quotes, designs, manufacturing documents, and data are with the right teams at the right time.
