Configurator-based Guided Selling and Quoting for Industrial Component Manufacturers

Streamline the selling process for any type of configurable industrial component or sub-system

BuyDesign® provides a powerful product configurator and comprehensive guided selling solution that is well-suited to the needs of companies that manufacture industrial components such as:

• Pumps & valves
• Motors
• Heaters and heating elements
• Sensors and controls
• Bearing assemblies
• Fans & blowers
• Filters
• Many, many more.

If you manufacture and sell such products to-order, you probably offer a wide range of options in terms of size or dimensions, power, material, accessories, and more. Your products may also need to meet certain functional specifications or performance characteristics related to load, output, throughput, sensitivity, service life, energy consumption, etc. And you may often need to fit your product into an available space or make it attachable to surrounding machinery or components. All of this variety creates challenges:

• The best model to meet a customers needs might not be obvious.
• Not every feature or option works together.
• Selecting the component mix to meet performance requirements may be complex.
• 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 component or sub-system that needs to properly fit within a customer-specified end product or system. 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.
