Platform Overview

Close the gap between what is sold and what gets built

For manufacturers of complex, configurable products, risk does not end when a deal closes. Incomplete order data, late order changes, and misalignment between teams often lead to delays, rework, and margin erosion. 

 

Tacton Configured Order Fulfillment (COF) creates a connected flow from sales to the shop floor by transforming validated configurations into accurate, manufacturing bill of materials. Every order reflects engineering intent and real factory capabilities, even when orders change.

THE POWER OF THE CONNECTED SUITE

One digital thread across your manufacturing operations

CPQ ensures only valid solutions are sold. CLM governs what can be built and how products evolve. COF turns those decisions into accurate, build-ready orders.

 

Together, they create a single digital thread that connects what is sold, what is defined, and what is delivered, eliminating disconnects, reducing risk, and protecting margins at every stage.

FAQs

Configured Order Fulfillment is the process of turning a sold configuration into a complete, manufacturing-ready order. Tacton COF ensures that every configured order includes accurate manufacturing BOMs, routing, and documentation, so production teams can execute without manual rework or uncertainty.    Unlike traditional order processing, COF keeps sales, engineering, and production aligned, even when orders change. 
ERP systems manage transactions. Tacton COF manages configuration logic and order accuracy. COF complements ERP by translating configured sales orders into order-specific manufacturing outputs, including mBOMs and production instructions. It ensures that what is in the ERP is already valid, buildable, and aligned with real factory capabilities. 
Tacton COF shows the downstream impact of order changes across manufacturing BOMs, routing, and production planning, so teams can adapt without disrupting execution or increasing risk. 
COF is used by manufacturing operations, production planning, supply chain, and order fulfillment teams. It also supports engineering and finance by ensuring orders are accurate, manufacturable, and margin-protected before production begins. 
Configured Order Fulfillment works directly with Tacton CPQ to ensure that what is quoted can be executed.  CPQ validates the configuration during the sales process. COF then transforms that validated configuration into manufacturing-ready outputs, including order-specific BOMs and production data. This creates a seamless and automated flow from quote to production. 
Configuration Lifecycle Management defines what can be built and how products evolve over time. Configured Order Fulfillment uses that governed configurability to generate accurate, build-ready orders. Together, CLM ensures engineering intent is preserved, while COF ensures that intent is executed correctly on the shop floor. 
Yes. Configured Order Fulfillment can be purchased on its own. However, manufacturers see the greatest impact when COF is connected with Tacton CPQ and Configuration Lifecycle Management.  On its own, COF improves order accuracy and execution. When combined with CPQ and CLM, it becomes part of a single digital thread where what is sold, what is defined, and what is delivered are always aligned. This removes manual translation, reduces rework, and protects margins across the entire lifecycle.  Many customers start with one capability and expand over time. The platform is designed to grow with you, but it delivers the strongest results when used as a connected suite.
