Configure One - Product Configurator - Product Information

Would your business benefit from the capability to offer a more customisable solution while also cutting lead times and reducing costs?

Concept, from Configure One, is a web-based tool that lets businesses sell and process orders for configurable, multi-option and customisable products. With today’s customers wanting a higher level of customisation in a wide range of commercial solutions, from office furniture to conveyor systems, the configurator lets you maintain the flexibility that keeps you highly competitive.

Concept integrates seamlessly with a number of ERP systems including IFS. Integration means key data such as customers, parts and prices is entered once and flows through into the configuration tool, ensuring that quotes and production orders are based on up-to-date information.

The advantages that Concept brings to organisations include:

• Automated production of quotations, delivering an accurate and highly professional document that can include prices, drawings and specifications.
• Can cut lead times by faster output of the quote and also of production documents including the bill of materials, allowing manufacture to begin more quickly.
• Reduction in the time spent putting together quotes allows sales teams to focus more time with prospects and building sales relationships.
• Improved capability for customers to resolve their own routine enquires, leaving your team to focus on more complex questions.
• Reduced costs for error correction and reworking. Offering more complex products usually results in a higher error rate and volume of rework but Configurator can help to cut these costs because ERP integration means data is input at one single source.

Configure One customers include industry leaders such as ABB, Emerson Electric, British Telecom, Danaher, Dover Corporation, Stryker, Sumitomo, and Thomas & Betts.

Through its partnership with Configure One, Anthesis offers you access to Concept and to a team of consultants with the knowledge and experience to bring effective integration with your ERP system.
