Smarter, faster engineer-to-order automation
Slash the time needed for custom quotes
Respond more quickly and accurately to customer requests for proposals by implementing a rules-based automated system. A design-to-order system will enable your sales and distributors to produce custom quotes that include a 3D model or image of the final product early in the sales process.
Using Web-based tools, we develop an easy-to-use customer request form that sales or distributors can access online to specify their product needs. The system will guide them to a valid configuration while capturing all details needed to quote the project.
Automated configurators provide bills of materials for accurate cost and price quotations, while dramatically reducing engineering involvement. This reduces iteration between sales, estimating, and engineering, which significantly improves proposal response time, accuracy, and customer service.
"Avatech’s [now IMAGINiT's] custom request-for-quote solution allowed us to increase the number of proposals we send out without increasing staff time. Not only has Avatech [now IMAGINiT] saved us hundreds of man-hours, but their solution also helps us to be more responsive to our clients in this extremely time-sensitive market." — Trey Nemeth, Vice President Operations, STEALTH® Concealment Solutions
Cut engineering effort to a fraction of the time
Engineer-to-order systems are developed by capturing the design process and engineering rules which are used on a given product line.
Given a set of requirements, rules -based systems automate the creation of complex 3D assemblies and drawings and create finished designs. Using the best practices in engineering technology, and materials properties we can pre-populate a CAD assembly with parts, dimensions, texture, and other information.
With designs based on engineering rules, engineers can focus on high-level design, rather than on the mechanics of the drawing technology.
