P'X5 software technology

The P'X5 software suite combines powerful technologies to meet your exacting business needs. It includes powerful desktop applications, central server services, Web 2.0 Internet applications, user-friendly interaction concepts, 3D visualization, XML-based knowledge models, as well as flexible middleware for integration with ERP, PLM, PDM, CAD and CRM systems.

With the leading combination of sales optimization and product lifecycle management, the P'X5 software suite supports cross-process product knowledge management and efficient processing of project-planning and sales tasks.

Five "engines", whose functionalities can be combined flexibly to create customized solutions, form the nucleus of the powerful P'X5 software suite:

P'X5 Configuration Engine

masters the most complex configuration tasks, provides spatial planning functionality, and controls the generation / transformation of different parts lists for sales, production, design, and service. The knowledge base uses rule-based logic and a script-based expression language in order to create model-based maps of product modularization, technical calculations, interaction concepts and workflows.

P'X5 Sales Engine

provides functions for the e-catalog, project-oriented sales, sales-oriented cost calculation / price determination / discounting, offer generation and order processing. Calculation schemes and approval processes can be defined applying commercial rules.

P’X5 Presentation Engine

provides comfortable interaction and visualization in 3D, 2D, and text; supports the generation and output of various documents such as PDF, PDF 3D, JT, VRML, DWG, Excel and XML, among others.

P’X5 Connectivity Engine

permits the smooth exchange of master and order data between P'X5 and the CAD, PDM, ERP and CRM systems in the IT backbone.

P’X5 Content Engine

provides product knowledge managers with powerful tools for harmonizing sales-related product information, as well as for maintaining the product knowledge base.

High IT integration capability and flexibility

With P'X5 you can harmonize tools which have been used up to now in a project-planning environment which is shared by Sales and Application Development. Support for open standards such as XML, XSLT, SOAP, as well as various file formats (DXF, DWG, JT, PDF) and interfaces with third-party systems, such as ERP, CRM, PDM or CA, permits seamless embedding of P'X5 into your existing process sequences and IT backbone systems. The modular combination of the required P'X5 functionalities allows you to implement P'X5 software in your company in stages and according to your needs.

Given its broad installed base, P'X5 is deeply integrated with the following software systems via separate connectors:

SAP ERP
Teamcenter PDM from Siemens PLM

Comfortable user interface ensures productivity of users

The modern user interface in P'X5 is user-friendly and easy to operate. Thanks to the intensive use of graphical 2D and 3D visualizations, you can complete complex tasks yourself quickly and productively.
