Configurator-based Guided Selling and Quoting for Vehicle and Watercraft Manufacturers

Streamline product configuration and the entire selling process for customized vehicles

BuyDesign® provides a powerful product configurator, as well as a wide range of guided selling, quoting, and proposal solutions that are well-suited to the needs of companies that manufacture customizable vehicles and watercraft such as:

• Recreational boats and yachts
• Law enforcement and utility boats
• Recreational vehicles, trailers, and campers
• Emergency vehicles
• Mobile food service, healthcare, marketing, etc. vehicles
• Public transit and shuttle busses
• Delivery trucks and truck trailers
• Custom vans (e.g. for the handicapped)

Whether you manufacture such products to-order or dealer inventory, you probably offer a wide range of options in terms of models, engines or motors, interior layouts and materials, accessories, colors, trim, and more. All of this variety creates challenges:

• Not everything works with everything else.
• There may be trade-offs for the customer to consider.
• Seemingly small differences in options may have a big impact on manufacturing.
• 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 configuration and sales processes for just about any customizable vehicle or boat. With tools to help your dealers and order entry people properly specify and price each unit, and for sales people to guide the customer to the right model for their needs, select the right mix of options, visualize the exact product, price it, sell its 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.
