Description

Variant is an online configurator developed on the Autodesk Forge platform, specifically designed for manufacturing clients aiming to enhance their quotation and design-to-manufacturing workflows. It transcends traditional Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) systems, enabling users—including internal sales teams, potential customers, and dealers—to effortlessly make product selections via an easy-to-use web interface from virtually any location. The outcome is a 3D model that can be viewed interactively, along with a corresponding bill of materials and a polished quotation. Being web-based means that Variant requires no installation, providing convenient access for all team members and customers at any time and from anywhere. By optimizing the quotation and design-to-manufacturing processes, Variant not only boosts sales but also minimizes engineering cycle times. Additionally, it generates detailed professional quotations and other customizable outputs, such as a precisely configured model, in a timely manner, enhancing overall efficiency. This capability allows manufacturers to respond to customer needs more swiftly and effectively.

Description

CPQ software, which stands for Configure, Price, Quote, serves as a vital digital connection between customers and the manufacturing process. Its primary functions include product configuration, determining prices, and generating quotes. This software is designed with a strong focus on meeting customer demands, ensuring that it proposes the most appropriate products for various scenarios. A set of predefined rules guarantees that configurations are accurate, facilitating a smooth transition to subsequent processes. By utilizing a modular variant system, standardized function modules can be combined in innovative ways to produce custom product variants tailored to the client's specifications. The product configurator within a CPQ system effectively translates customer requirements into relevant products and features. Additionally, workflows driven by rules eliminate the need for extensive internal consultations and approvals. As a result, the sales cycle is accelerated by 28%, leading to enhanced sales efficiency while optimizing pricing strategies, which in turn boosts opportunities for cross-selling and upselling, ultimately elevating both sales and profit margins. Leveraging this technology not only streamlines the sales process but also fosters stronger relationships with clients through personalized offerings.
