Problem:
There are many products what must be configured before selling. This means that sales staff must be constantly up to date and trained to be able to quote customers or in many cases means that sales staff will send requests to vendor or purchase department who will advise on configuration or will return quote with specific configuration. All this will take not hours but days, sometimes weeks (if Vendor is some corporation). If there are thousands of products we sell and hundred+ configurable items it not realistic to stay up to date and trained physically - eventually efficiency and quality will have impact.
Solution:
Prepare configurable items (can use existing assembly functionality) where item has “must select options” and then also suggested options, up-sell items or cross sell items. Can be solved in similar manner as selecting variants – when selecting configurable item, rows below appear what must be selected or can use existing assembly functionality.
Result:
Massive time saving when preparing quotes. We speak saving days or weeks!
Eliminates need to have staff trained constantly for hundreds of products!
Increased quality. Due to predefined info and intuitive process there will be fewer human errors.
