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

Today, accommodating individual customer preferences has become a standard expectation in business. However, only those companies that can execute these demands in an efficient and cost-effective manner will thrive in the long-term battle for new clients. While traditional ERP and PPC systems can make adjustments to master data to handle various product options, they often fail to maintain coherence throughout the entire processes of quoting, planning, and production. Therefore, a sophisticated and well-integrated variant management system is essential to manage the increasing volume of data across different departments effectively. VlexPlus offers an innovative variant management approach that seamlessly integrates all aspects, from pricing through sales and procurement to manufacturing and financial oversight. With this system in place, manufacturers can avoid steep set-up expenses, inaccurate delivery schedules, inconsistencies between initial and final calculations, design flaws, or the burdens associated with complicated data upkeep. Ultimately, this level of integration not only streamlines operations but also positions businesses to adapt swiftly to shifting market demands.
