Configuring earthing and short-circuiting devices online with CREALIS® CPQ

Repre­sen­ted in 70 count­ries world­wi­de, the company’s pri­ma­ry objec­ti­ve is the satis­fac­tion of its cus­to­mers. Num­e­rous new pro­duct deve­lo­p­ments and cus­to­mi­sed solu­ti­ons have led to gro­wing com­ple­xi­ty over the years. The­se pro­duct inno­va­tions led to a demand for an effec­ti­ve tool such as the pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor CREALIS® for mana­ging the wide varie­ty of eart­hing and short-cir­cui­ting devices.

DEHN cho­se the pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor CREALIS® . The soft­ware solu­ti­on offers an impres­si­ve­ly user-fri­end­ly and intui­ti­ve inter­face and pro­vi­des all of the requi­red func­tion­a­li­ty as stan­dard. This includes high-per­for­mance Inter­net use, inte­gra­ti­on in an online shop, con­nec­tion to the exis­ting ERP sys­tem as well as the cen­tral manage­ment of all pro­duct and model data, the rela­ti­onships bet­ween opti­ons and com­pon­ents, the busi­ness data and all docu­ments in the CREALIS® PDM sys­tem.

Sin­ce the intro­duc­tion of the pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor CREALIS in 2011, the mem­bers of the sales team and cus­to­mers are able to com­pi­le eart­hing and short-cir­cui­ting devices online in just a few steps. The con­fi­gu­ra­tor reli­e­ves the workload for sales and pro­duc­tion and pro­vi­des an excel­lent basis for future growth. Inclu­ding the eart­hing and short-cir­cui­ting device con­fi­gu­ra­tor in an online shop allows the imme­dia­te trans­fer of data to an order. Alter­na­tively, the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on can be sent via e‑mail or prin­ted out. The con­fi­gu­ra­tor allows the gene­ra­ti­on of high-qua­li­ty docu­ments in com­pli­ance with the company’s CI gui­de­lines. The con­fi­gu­ra­tor also pro­vi­des gra­phi­cal sup­port by dis­play­ing dyna­mi­cal­ly gene­ra­ted pro­duct images. In addi­ti­on, the con­fi­gu­ra­tor allows pre-con­fi­gu­red vari­ants to be offe­red as cus­to­mi­sed solu­ti­ons.
