The P'X Industry Solution digitizes processes of product configuration, technical calculation, costing and quotation generation across typical domain boundaries of an industrial company. 3D models and information from CAD and PDM systems are transferred into clear component catalogs. Interactive configuration and installation planning, 3D visualization based on augmented reality and concurrent costing ensure perfect fulfillment of customer requirements. Data exchange with CRM and ERP systems facilitates quotation generation: Current price and availability information, exchange rates, customer data and discount scales are used as well as previous projects. Lightweight configuration files from all over the world ensure fast and error-free order processing in design, production, assembly and commissioning.

Web frontend improves customer contact

Where face-to-face consulting is hampered by space or time constraints, a Consumer Communicator secures the business: consultants provide their customers with configuration proposals and associated documents in a project-related web front end. Customers access them via a Web link and can view the project in 3D views. The usual functions such as rotating and zooming are available, as are marking and commenting. The viewer can choose between installation environment or detailed views - quotation or parts list documents are also provided.

Getting started in online business

A Web Configurator enables manufacturers to prepare a modular portfolio of products and services for configuration on the World Wide Web using the same database. Preconfigured modules and industry-specific components increase user-friendliness and sales success. Prospective customers group 3D-visualized modules and components in the installation space and quickly and reliably achieve the desired result. With the project file, they request individual quotations by e-mail, which the technical sales department processes seamlessly in the P`X Industry Solution.
