Configurator-based Guided Selling and Quoting for Equipment and Machinery Manufacturers

Streamline the selling process for complex mechanical, electrical, and electronic products

BuyDesign® provides a powerful product configurator and comprehensive guided selling, quoting, and proposal solution that is well-suited to the needs of companies that manufacture equipment and machinery, such as:

• Construction equipment
• Farm equipment
• Machine tools
• Escalators and elevators
• Material handling systems
• Power generation systems
• HVAC systems
• Medical devices
• Laboratory devices
• Telecommunications equipment
• Other high tech equipment and devices...

If you manufacture and sell such products to-order, you probably offer a wide range of options in terms of engines or motors, attachments, stages, interiors, electronics, colors, and more. Your products may also need to meet certain functional specifications or performance characteristics related to load, output, throughput, etc. All of this variety creates challenges:

• Not everything works with everything else.

• The component mix to meet performance requirements may not be obvious.

• There may be trade-offs between features for the customer to consider.

• Special engineering may sometimes be required.

If this sounds like your products, BuyDesign may represent an important competitive advantage for your company. BuyDesign is an ideal solution for streamlining the sales process for just about any type of complex equipment or machinery. With tools to help your internal or external sales people guide the customer to the right model for their needs, select the right mix of options, visualize the exact product, price it, sell it's value, order it, and deliver all of the correct associated documents, BuyDesign provides support for the entire interest-to-order cycle and speeds the order-to-delivery process.
