Mechanical and plant engineers make use of the application, generally focused in the technical sales back office. The field service incorporates the requirements in P'X5, before the application engineer in the back office then develops the solution: Functional design of the production process, attachment of aggregates to the machines, specification of the special design for tools, as well as cost calculations. The solution developed is then returned to Sales to enable it to make an interactive presentation of the quote to the customer.

For certain applications, product knowledge in P'X5 can be prepared such that the field service representative can specify the solution interactively on site during the advisory meeting in direct contact with the customer. Quotes are generated instantly at the push of a button and are given technical and commercial support. Consequently, protracted technical clarification processes are avoided, and the response time to enquiries is shortened. The higher degree of quality in the advisory meeting sets your quote apart from those of rival suppliers. P'X5 attends to the online/offline data synchronization to enable mobile applications to function seamlessly with notebooks.

The support for the indirect sales channel is of great importance to businesses who makes the lion's share of their turnover abroad. P'X5 enables sales partners, agents and foreign branches to be integrated into a shared project-planning environment. Current product information, including application knowledge, are available at the customer service tier worldwide via an Internet connection. Order data is sent in digital form to the manufacturer to enable the logistical production chain to be supplied with error-free parts lists.

A retail furniture chain uses P'X5 in its stores as a point-of-sale application, enabling sales staff to custom-build cabinet units with prospective customers according to their wishes. Following the introduction of P'X5, there was a clear rise in sales rates, and individual orders were boosted due to more additional sales in the quote total.

Self-service applications may open up new sales channels in the business-to-business environment with technically adept prospective customers. P'X5 can be used to create self-explanatory and CAD-independent tools for the design of your products which are available to customers as a CD/DVD or to download from the Internet. This reduces your planning workload and enables the customer to come up with its concept more quickly. This link with the customer ensures that the requests for quotes which come complete with an error-free parts list.

P'X5 can be used to create web browser-based configuration solutions in the B2C and B2B environment for products with minimal variant complexity. P'X5 supports two technological approaches: 1.) as a P'X5 web plugin for the interactive 3D product configuration, 2.) as a Web 2.0 thin client with P'X5 as a server application. In both web applications the configuration results can be incorporated seamlessly into the P'X5 desktop application

An international furniture system manufacturer makes consistent use of the P'X5 Sales Configurator for all its sales channels. This makes P'X5 the central component of its global eBusiness strategy. The back office, sales branches and over 200 sales partners (retailers) around the world use the P'X5 Sales Configurator to virtually create designer and office furnishings.

End customers can go onto the manufacturer's website and create items of furniture themselves in the P'X5 Web Configurator. This helps, firstly, to generate new custom, but can also be used for online orders which are passed on to local sales partners. They can then refine the quote in their planning environment and process the order electronically with the manufacturer.
