Product configurator features overview
Decision flow diagrams
Decision diagrams break down complex systems into manageable components. They fulfill the essential task of transferring business and sales knowledge to engineers who, in turn, know product details. The app doesn't define products – however, it allows building paths containing thousands of nodes, defining elements and specifications.
Action lists
Information exchange can be performed with a comprehensive report creator. The Action List enables adding topics for clarification before they end up in Quality Assurance. By addressing these points early, the system helps to prevent errors and ensures that all requirements are clearly understood and met before the final product is validated.
Bill of materials
Accurate cost calculation can be achieved by generating a Bill of Materials (BOM). An overview of all required parts enables efficient resource management and reduces waste.
Error-free product configuration
Companies managing the product lifecycle need solutions to support the performance of thousands of engineers. The main focus on lowering costs and error-free processes is the core of their activities.
The product configurator simplifies decision-making in areas like component approvals, technical feasibility checks, and cost assessments. By automating processes and structuring workflows, it reduces errors and enhances collaboration across departments.
Faster decision with product configurator
The solution is dedicated to the companies where the decision-making processes are handled by several departments at once. It enables delivering the ideas that follow the existing rules in the company and getting the fixes verifications by the experts.
