What is a Product Configurator and its advantages?
Summary
Instead of manually creating quotes and specifications, this tool translates the sales order automatically into a production BoM, using one centralised system. Some have limited rule-capture capabilities and can only handle CTO and ATO rules, making them only suitable for a certain level of product complexity. Accurate quotations lead to fewer queries, and this helps reduce your customer service departments workload. Product configuration software significantly reduces the potential for these errors by pre-defining rules that create accurate pricing and valid combinations. Showing customers the different ways they can tweak a product is a powerful psychological incentive because it gives them ideas of how it will fit into their specific needs.
