We asked ourselves: “How do companies do today without a product configurator to help them?”. We called them and many told us that they still use the “traditional method”, namely brochures, catalogues, paper and pen, meeting very strong limits of efficiency. Both for the technical time of management of the procedure, and for errors and corrections that force you to spend most of the day on administrative activities, instead of focusing on sales and the relationship with the customer.
The result? You lose competitiveness, have lower margins and less satisfied customers.
Here for today we talk about a product configurator software or CPQ software that can help you respond in real time to requests, generate accurate quotes instantly and focus sellers on the relationship with the customer instead of bureaucracy.
But if you don’t know what we’re talking about, here’s a little something for you:
What is a product configurator?
A product configurator (CPQ – Configure, Price, Quote) is a software to efficiently manage the variants of the product or its customization to respond to specific requests. Serves mainly to:
- Simplify the complex sale with many variations (colors, materials, accessories, sizes)
- Automate budgeting
- Reduce errors and costs
How a Product Configurator like CONFIG365 works
CPQ software is built on a system of rules that provide logic and structure to your company’s sales, engineering and production processes. The typical process is:
- Configure: The user selects the desired options
2. Price: The system automatically calculates the price based on choices
3. Quotes: A complete and professional quote is generated
Whenever the user changes something in the product to be configured, such as color, material, adding or removing accessories, the price is automatically updated in real time.
Why does our CONFIG365 differ among the product configurators? Here are its advantages (only some… the others we explain them to you in person!)

What will you like more?
1. Intelligent automation: no more mistakes!
CONFIG365 automatically transforms complex data – measurements, variations, price logic – into accurate quotations and production-ready base lists.
The guided process eliminates configuration errors at the root. No more costly rework, no more time wasted correcting wrong estimates.
2.Operational flexibility: you can offer unlimited customization
CONFIG365 manages any level of customization: specific dimensions, technical characteristics, price rules differentiated by customer or item. The constrained configuration is the secret: the system proposes only valid and feasible combinations, eliminating impossible configurations.
This built-in intelligence not only prevents errors, but naturally leads to optimal solutions. The result is true mass customization: series production with artisan customization.
Advanced variant management increases production agility, allowing you to respond quickly to market changes without compromising efficiency.
3.Real-time control over all processes!
CONFIG365 provides real-time data on sales and production. Integration with MES and warehouse management systems creates an information flow that guarantees automatic traceability and accurate data accounting.
No more information silos: CONFIG365 becomes the heart of all business processes. Key KPIs – cost optimization, resource utilization, reduction of lead time – are continuously monitored and optimized, allowing strategic decisions based on concrete data.
No kidding, these are just 3 of its advantages!
Of course there are many other benefits:
- Native integration with Dynamics 365
- Guaranteed scalability
- Intuitive interface
- multilingual support
- advanced price list management
- Automatic approval workflows
- …
Each implementation reveals new opportunities for efficiency.
