Buying cycles are getting shorter as customers increasingly expect to get from inquiry to delivery in a much shorter timeline. A frictionless buying experience is key to winning sales, but why are speed and accuracy in quoting so important? In our latest guide, we explore why design cycle times matter and the key requirements for fast, accurate quoting.

SAFE-T-FAB is based in the USA and specializes in custom ladders, crossover stairs, and platforms. They use DriveWorks to encode their engineering knowledge, automate their design process, and enable customers to configure products online and receive instant quotes and drawings. They’ve achieved a 56% revenue increase and a 15% increase in quote volumes.

DriveWorks design automation, 3D product configurator, and CPQ solutions enable manufacturers to automate complex engineering tasks, maintain quality standards, and deliver products efficiently. Wikk Industries uses DriveWorks to automate custom designs and deliver custom code-compliant accessibility solutions at scale.

Improved accuracy in custom manufacturing delivers a range of operational, financial, and customer-focused benefits. It ensures consistent product quality while reducing the need for rework, helping to minimize waste and costs. Greater accuracy also supports faster design and sales cycles, enabling businesses to respond faster to customer demands. Improve accuracy every time with DriveWorks design automation, 3D product configurator, and CPQ for manufacturing solutions.

Lawrence David is based in the UK and manufactures custom trailers and vehicle bodies. They implemented a DriveWorks design automation solution, fully integrated with SOLIDWORKS®, to successfully manage complexity, improve accuracy and efficiency, and speed up their turnaround times.

Custom documents are more than just paperwork, they are key components in your sales and manufacturing processes. With DriveWorks document technology, you can deliver professional, custom-branded documents faster, eliminate errors and inconsistencies, improve collaboration between sales and manufacturing, and scale your business with confidence.

Traditional manufacturing processes for custom products can quickly become complex, leading to bottlenecks and errors in design and sales processes. The resulting impact is lost sales and lower profitability. Implementing a CPQ for manufacturing solution enables businesses to manage complex custom configurations without compromising accuracy, efficiency, or profitability.

Rädlinger Maschinenbau, based in Germany, is a leading manufacturer of custom construction machinery equipment. Their product range includes excavator buckets, wheel loader shovels, quick-change systems, and rotary motors. They use DriveWorks to reduce design team workload and accelerate product development.

The customer demand for increasingly customizable products means the level of complexity across engineering, sales, and production processes also increases. For manufacturers of complex products with a high volume of variants, CPQ enables accurate configuration and pricing, and streamlines sales and engineering workflows to deliver custom products faster and with greater accuracy.
