Quickly Manage Complex Quoting
How do you achieve rapid order fulfillment with zero finished goods inventory? The typical residential double-hung window has more features, options, constraints and configuration complexity than nearly any other industry’s product set. In a normal make-to-stock operation, this would drive finished goods inventories to costly levels. Yet the competition for make-to-order windows, doors, counter-tops, and the like is so fierce that manufacturers have had to develop a production process that takes a custom order through the shop to the shipping dock in less than 72 hours. Finished goods are stored, literally, on a truck on its way to the destination.
Needless to say, this requires very detailed and accurate order specifications from a Dealer network of “measure & quote” people who have less than an hour to measure all the windows in a home, generate dimensioned drawings, prepare the quote, and make the sale.
Infor CPQ Is the Ideal Solution For:
- Custom Metal Forming Manufactures
- Millwork
- Deck Building Manufactures
- Window and Door
- Screen & Shutter Manufactures
- Cabinets, Trim, Molding, and Flooring
