Please the customer means creating the conditions for business success.

Are you forced to maintain a huge collection of all possible configurations of your items? Do You need a system to simplify configuration options of the products and their monitoring? Do you want to have an easy and automatic way to drive customers to configure and order more complex products?

 

Perhaps not everyone knows that ... the Product Configurator is a module that allows Mago.net to better respond to customer needs.

The configurator is born to help the sales staff because, during insertion of an offer of an order by the customer or a sales document, allows you to create a custom product sales for the client using the Questions/Answers interface.

The configurations can be entered manually from the data entry or generated automatically from the sales orders. When in a sales order we insert an article which is associated with a configurable BOM, Mago.net is proposing to create a new Configuration. If we agree to create a new Configuration, the document opens the connection to the Configuration window , in which we are going to enter a new configuration for the product indicated on the document.

The Configuration window lists all questions provided in the BoM and for each question it is proposed the answer set as default but we can modify it to create the configuration required by our customer.

So based on the responses selected you create a new version of the product which is basically a new version of the finished product that uses components associated with the selected answers, who can be modified off course to create the configuration needed.

Based on the answers given, it is also calculated the configuration value which varies depending on the cost of the selected components calculated by reading the lists applied in the Configuration Parameters. 

 

These are some of the Manufacturing needs of every company, to which Microarea responds with the product configurator!
