Custom Configurator
Without specialized tools, salespeople cannot be expected to assemble all the right components and quote the correct prices of a customized product. MISys solves this problem with the Custom Configurator, a rules-based configuration tool designed to look just like, work just like, and integrate seamlessly with Sage Accpac ERP Order Entry and MISys SAE. The MISys Custom Configurator was designed to meet the needs of sales organizations that deliver specific variations of a product, based on a pre-defined set of configuration options.
Anyone who has purchased a new car, or even a personal computer, has experienced rules-based configuration. "If you want leather seats, you must have the 'Comfort Group' which includes heated mirrors and pneumatic cup-holders." Or, "if you want a CD-ROM and a DVD drive, you need a 200-watt power supply, but you cannot have a ZIPâ„¢ drive."
MISys Custom Configurator allows you to create rules-based configuration templates, and save those templates for future use. You can even link templates to specific customers for re-order ease.
In addition to saving sales configuration templates, you can also use the Custom Configurator to customize manufacturing orders. This feature is particularly appealing to assemblers and manufacturers who custom-configure products for their customers.
