FEATURES
- Step-by-Step Configuration Process: Our step-by-step configuration process walks you through a series of questions and features, which can be a specific number (i.e. length, height or quantity) or other options selected from a list or entered as text.
- Visual Validation Aid: As features and options are selected, images of the selections are displayed on screen to validate the entries as they are made.
- Rules-Based Configuration: Product Configurator works around a series of rules that are built when the configuration is constructed. These rules determine which features are available based upon previously entered criteria.
- Configuration Templates: Configuration templates that include common sets of user responses can be easily created to help save time and improve efficiency.
- Auto Build Bill of Materials (BOM): A full bill of materials is generated based on the features and options selected. Raw material requirements are scaled to the quantities and dimensional aspects of the configuration.
- Aids Price Calculation: Price rules allow end-user pricing on selections. Optional components may be figured into the final price or charged as separate items.
- Smart Part Numbers: A smart part code is generated to identify the parts’ unique features and options and may be used internally to label a finished good.
- Auto Build Work Tickets: Labor requirements are calculated based on the features and options selected, which results in a multi-step router that has time and cost estimates for each phase of production.
