WinMans Product Configurator is an advanced module which fits seamlessly with the WinMan fully integrated ERP system. The WinMan Product Configurator saves valuable time and generates a quick return on investment for organizations selling standard products that have many options or accessories.
The WinMan Product Configurator is based on features and options. Each features options are controlled with inclusion and exclusion rules. Each feature has an unlimited number of options available. The number of features per base product is defined by the product engineers. Additional parts can be added to the new configured product based on rules of multiple combinations of selected options.
The WinMan Product Configurator is accessible in the WinMan sales order and quotations module for use by the sales force. A sales team member can build a custom configured product for a prospect or customer while allowing the Product Configurator to lead the series of questions needed for the creation of the final product. After all the required features are completed, the bill of material is created and price of finished product is added to the sales order or quote.
Prices are controlled at the option level and rolled up based on selected options and added to a products base price which is defined in the part master file of WinMan.
