Configurators

Faster proposal generation and response to customers
- In one situation we were able to reduce estimating time from several hours to 11 minutes.
Increase proposal volume output and accuracy
- What if your estimators are spending a day to create an average proposal. Now consider the advantages of the same estimator being able to produce two or three proposals in a day.
Standardize proposals increasing confidence and reducing risk
- Rates
- Margins
- Customer Interfacing Document Appearance
- Production interfacing document appearance
Maintain a library of uniform information to select from when preparing proposals
- Easily maintained
- As simple or detailed as needed
Communicate clearly to the customer and production what is in each proposal and what design information has been considered.
Create the most efficient proposal possible over varying design conditions
Guide estimators in uniform consistent approaches to problems
Allows for additions and deletions in unique situations.
Allows for the use of past projects to create similar proposals or revisions.
Speedier acclimation of new estimators
Proposal BOM can be used from Estimating to Engineering to Production to QC to reduce errors and misinterpretations.
