Upsell accessories more effectively

Add accessories and options to a configured product and increase the value of the deal. Only add-ons that are compatible with the configured product are selectable, preventing sales of incompatible solutions. This assurance empowers sales reps to upsell and add extra value for the customer directly in the configurator.

Allowing customers to compare alternative products informs their investment decisions and can shorten the sales cycle. Put complex configured products side by side to clarify how they differ or overlap, including configurator selections, sales BOM, and pricing. You can compare individual configurations or full quotes with multiple line items.

Maintain control of your product portfolio

Capture your product architecture’s innate compatibilities so that sales, engineering, and production have all available capabilities at their fingertips when selling and delivering solutions. Our constraint-based configurator software makes it easy to set up and maintain your portfolio over time.
