Configuration Lifecycle Management
Define product configurability. Trust it everywhere.
Centralize engineering-approved configurability so sales and fulfillment stay aligned as products change or evolve.
Platform Overview
Take control of configurability as products evolve
Tacton Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) is the single source of truth for product configurability. It governs how options, rules, and constraints are defined, released, and evolved over time, so sales and order fulfillment always work from approved logic.
Engineering defines what can be configured. Sales sells only what is valid. Order Fulfillment builds exactly what was intended. As products change, configurability stays aligned end-to-end.

FAQs
PLM manages product data. Tacton CLM manages product configurability.
Configuration Lifecycle Management complements PLM by governing how configurable options and rules apply across product revisions, markets, and factories. This allows downstream teams to work from engineering-approved configurability without duplicating logic or relying on spreadsheets.
