Online Configurator Benefits
Providing a product configurator, part number builder, or product application tool on your website could be the difference between converting a visitor on your website to a client who knows you have the exact product for their need, or losing them to a competitor who makes it easy for a prospect to understand their capabilities. Ecreativeworks' custom product configurators increase revenues and reduce costs by automatically translating unique product requests into the documentation and information required to sell and manufacture each order.
Our product configurators and part number builders are designed for manufacturing companies that produce highly configurable or routinely customized products to meet the unique needs of the manufactures' customers. They are robust, unlike most product configurators that can only handle simple configurations or search a product catalog with the impression that a configuration is taking place. Ecreativeworks has experience in custom web application development that can address very complex product rules to simple variations but covering ten of thousands of choices.
How Product Configurators Work
- The product configurator is loaded with your product rules and questions designed to capture all the required features and options.
- The product configurator's user-friendly text boxes, pull-down menus, radio buttons, and check boxes guide users through the information gathering process, even preventing users from choosing incompatible product options.
- These web-based configurators are easy to use and can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection. Anyone familiar with a web browser will be productive immediately.
- Once the user submits the online configuration for processing, the product configurator automatically translates the information into a useful configuration deliverable.
Custom product configurators can even interface with database forms, CAD drawings, Industrial Ecommerce Solutions and RFQ Shopping Cart modules (that can sell and quote all online,) and send an email of the finished configured product with the user’s information can be sent. These solutions can be easily integrated with CAD Viewer and CAD Publisher, as well.
Private Access Online Configurators
We do offer other options if the application desired is not for the general internet user. In a typical private access installation, inside sales, engineering, order entry, manufacturing, and customer service departments access your finished configurator through the company's internal network. Outside people, such as field sales, dealers, and customers, access your web-based configurator through the Internet and a secure sign in page. Robust security measures provide the overall administrative control needed to determine who has access to what functionality and when.
