Best-in-Class company?

It's almost five years since Aberdeen Group published it's much talked about study about the challenges faced by companies delivering tailored products.

Since the study was published, the competition has intensified and the globalization increased, which adds to the conclusions in the report.

Among the companies in the study, the ones with the highest ranking on certain criteria where rated as “Best-in-Class”. The studies showed, among other things, that these companies:

Had 96 % lower write-offs due to errors in orders compared to the industry average
Could offer 3.5 times as many customizable features per product
Responded almost three times as quickly with a quote

For companies that assemblies to order (ATO) the challenge is to quickly generate accurate quotes that captures what the customer really wants!

A key to success within ATO is the introduction of a standalone sales configurator.

When comparing companies within the ATO category, it turned out that those who used a standalone sales configurator showed a 32 % higher profit margin compared to other companies.

With a configurator integrated all the way from sales to manufacturing, the profit margin increased with 52 %.

Visualize your configuration

Have you ever wished that it was possible to generate a sketch of a configuration and attach it to a quote?

Or maybe you want to give the user additional support by dynamically generating a sketch as the different options are selected in the configurator?

Would you like to show the sketch up front in the web browser?

All of this is possible with COMBINUM Graphics!

The graphical objects are created in the administration tool COMBINUM Architect. You can write rules and formulas for where and when the objects should be plotted and with what dimensions.

All parameters and attributes that has been added to the product in COMBINUM Architect are available for usage in formulas.

The graphics engine uses the technology SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to generate the graphics. It can also generate files in the formats AutoCAD DXF, Adobe PDF and PNG for downloading.
