What does a configurator mean in practice?

For us, a configurator is a system support for all the steps involved in moving from selling products off the shelf to customizing products for each request.
It can sometimes be a combination of several different systems that are integrated with each other.

Example of what a configurator can support:

  • Customers or sellers need a tool to select product features.
    Rules should govern what choices can be made, preferably with visual feedback on how the product’s appearance changes.
  • CAD documents need to be created to send with the quote.
    2D drawing and/or 3D files (step).
  • Item preparation may need to be done in an ERP system to calculate cost and delivery time.
  • Product sheets, product manuals or other documents may need to be created for each product.
  • Tender documents need to be created.
