Why an end-to-end product configurator?

In a context where customization is the norm, manufacturers are faced with an explosion of technical and commercial variants. Complexity is growing, but so are opportunities.

RuleDesigner offers an enterprise configuration platform that allows you to manage the entire product lifecycle – from commercial proposal to design, production and after-sales – with a single integrated tool.

What is the RuleDesigner Configurator?

RuleDesigner Product Configurator is an enterprise platform for technical and commercial product configuration, designed to manage the entire configuration cycle with coherence and automation: from the generation of the offer to the automatic creation of the bill of materials and CAD models.

Product configuration is a strategic lever to cope with the complexity and customisation needs specific to the manufacturing sector. With RuleDesigner, you can enable an end-to-end configuration that spans the entire company: from marketing to sales, from engineering to production, to after-sales service.

Integrated with all major enterprise systems (ERP, PLM, CRM, CAD, PDM), the configurator ensures a continuous and consistent flow of information, enables mass customisation strategies, accelerates time-to-market and reduces errors and rework.
