Perspectix AG is opening up its P’X Industry Solution—a comprehensive Configure-Price-Quote (CPQ) solution for modular product systems such as industrial machinery and equipment—to AI-powered inputs. Perspectix helps customers integrate suitable AI solutions with the P’X Industry Solution and embed their use into existing sales and engineering processes.

The P'X Industry Solution is used by leading manufacturers across numerous industries at more than 15,000 workstations to sell modular product systems in customized configurations. During the configuration process—based on customer requirements—components from 3D catalogs are combined according to product logic rules to create solutions that make technical and economic sense.

Enter Requirements Through a Dialogue with AI

Conveying customer requirements during configuration, in particular, requires the expertise and experience of trained employees. In the future, companies will be able to choose an AI solution that aligns with their IT and data strategy. Through verbal or written dialogue, the AI agent gathers the requirements, asks follow-up questions, and passes them on in a structured format to the P’X Industry Solution. The configuration is then created by the P’X Industry Solution based on the manufacturer’s individual product logic, set of rules, and product data. Changes are implemented in the same way.

Clear Accountability – Reliable Results

“Every manufacturer can implement its own AI strategy,” explains André Kälin, CEO of Perspectix AG. “Perspectix takes a technology-neutral approach and supports customers in implementing suitable integration scenarios.” In general, various options are available: specialized AI agents, enterprise-wide AI platforms based on secure data, or AI assistants from ERP, PLM, and CRM systems. The key requirement is that the chosen solution meets the customers’ requirements for interfaces, security, data access, and compliance.

All product data and its logic, the configuration rules and their restrictions, and the validation processes also remain the responsibility of the manufacturer. This makes it easier to maintain security and compliance, as well as data consistency and access rules.

The application of the manufacturer's proprietary product logic, technical calculations, rule checks, the use of geometries, and all output results will continue to be handled by the P`X Industry Solution, as before. This ensures that the quality of the rule-based product configuration remains traceable, verifiable, and consistent.

Easier to use

AI can significantly simplify access to rule-based product configuration.

Users can formulate requirements more naturally, clarify questions through dialogue, and arrive at a structured configuration more quickly. This reduces the need for training and speeds up the quote-generation process without bypassing the manufacturer’s validated product logic.
