Product ­Configuration

More than just a strategy

Mastering diversity: Customised configuration solutions for demanding customers

Nowa­days, cus­to­mers expect to obtain indi­vi­du­al pro­ducts for the same con­di­ti­ons as stan­dard pro­ducts. Com­pa­nies that wish to remain com­pe­ti­ti­ve and firm up their mar­ket posi­ti­on must satis­fy the­se demands and offer the cus­to­mer a ran­ge of vari­ants tog­e­ther with a high degree of qua­li­ty and ser­vice, whilst also con­side­ring the pri­cing. Con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on sys­tems offer sup­port in mana­ging diver­se vari­ants in all busi­ness pro­ces­ses. ORISA deve­lo­ps and dis­tri­bu­tes con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on sys­tems on the basis of a ran­ge of dif­fe­rent tech­no­lo­gies. ORISA offers con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on solu­ti­ons that are tail­o­red to the customer’s requi­re­ments with its own pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor CREALIS®, based on SAP pro­ducts (SAP® Vari­ant Con­fi­gu­ra­tor , SAP® IPC) or as a cus­to­mi­sed solu­ti­on.

Digitalisation of sales with CPQ and product configurators

Digi­ti­se your B2B sales and rea­li­se a more effi­ci­ent sales pro­cess for com­plex pro­ducts than ever befo­re. Using a Pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tors or CPQ solu­ti­on, it is simp­le to con­fi­gu­re, cal­cu­la­te and offer cus­to­mi­sed pro­ducts. The pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor ser­ves as a digi­tal sales advi­sor, crea­tes emo­tio­nal expe­ri­en­ces by means of 3D visua­li­sa­ti­on and helps cus­to­mers to con­fi­gu­re the pro­ducts inde­pendent­ly. The tech­ni­cal admis­si­bi­li­ty and fea­si­bi­li­ty of the pro­duct is always asses­sed during the pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on pro­cess. A con­nec­tion to all busi­ness pro­ces­ses faci­li­ta­tes fast and error-free order pro­ces­sing. The­se con­sidera­ble savings in time and cos­ts also have a posi­ti­ve impact on the deve­lo­p­ment of sales.

Transparency of expertise

The know­ledge of employees, as well as pro­duct-spe­ci­fic infor­ma­ti­on from the fields of pro­cu­re­ment, design, pro­duc­tion, deve­lo­p­ment and sales are con­so­li­da­ted and mana­ged effi­ci­ent­ly with a Pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor. Pro­duct data updates and exten­si­ons take place at any time on an intra­de­part­ment­al basis. The pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor the­r­e­fo­re ser­ves as a know­ledge data­ba­se and estab­lishes trans­pa­ren­cy of exper­ti­se within the com­pa­ny.

Fully utilising potentials throughout the company

The poten­ti­al of the soft­ware solu­ti­on is uti­li­sed in full, thanks to the seam­less inte­gra­ti­on of the pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor into the busi­ness pro­ces­ses and the­r­e­fo­re also into the company’s exis­ting sys­tem land­scape. The con­nec­tion of the pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor to a CRM sys­tem pro­vi­des up-to-date cus­to­mer data and infor­ma­ti­on on sales pro­jects. Pai­ring with an ERP sys­tem faci­li­ta­tes use of cur­rent and detail­ed order data in the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on pro­cess. Fur­ther­mo­re, the ERP sys­tem is able to sup­p­ly the neces­sa­ry artic­le mas­ter data, which forms the basis for the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on pro­cess. The results of con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on can also be dis­play­ed in 3D via an inter­face to a CAD sys­tem. A pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor can be inte­gra­ted into a varie­ty of busi­ness sce­na­ri­os and helps to mini­mi­se the order through­put time and opti­mi­se busi­ness pro­ces­ses.
