Revalize Named Expert in Top CPQ Value Matrix. Learn More
Compile products with a click of the mouse – this is what CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) makes possible and thus becomes a turbocharger for faster offers. But where do the associated documents such as operating instructions, photos, technical specifications and prices that you need come from? The answer: from a uniform product data backbone.
The PLM as a product data backbone connects a wide variety of silos via prefabricated interfaces. It thus becomes the actual turbo for CPQ and thus faster time-to-market. Through email integration, connection to various ERP systems and multi-CAD capability. The Revalize solution comes with all of this as standard and no longer requires any complex reprogramming.
This includes skills for technical document management, completing tasks via PLM app and exchanging documents with external partners via platforms such as PROOM. It is precisely in these points that the difference lies between an integrated PLM/CPQ solution and conventional configurators, which do not have a connection to multiple data silos and all other features.
On the one hand, PLM as an integration platform stimulates the pure sales process, which is mapped by CPQ. In addition, it gives the internal design and manufacturing process a decisive kick via CPQE. Standard parts in production that are repeated over and over again do not have to be redesigned manually over and over again. Instead, this process is automated and rule-based.
If only some managers knew how much time their engineering department spends entering the length, width and height of components ten times in a row. By the time the required drawing comes out, the customer has already joined the competition.
Five times as fast in design and production – this only works with consistent data. This means: Each piece of information is only available once and is made available for configuration in real time. PLM and CPQ merge into a completely digital solution in which customers can click together an offer in the configurator in five minutes.
This enables manufacturing companies to deliver products in record time. PLM solutions combined with sales configuration lead to a faster time to market.
