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 integration with CPQ 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.
