Automating configure to order complexity to deliver better customer service

By its very nature, configure-to-order (CTO) is a complex, fluid vertical. to You’re driven by customer order and demand for customer specific solutions configured specifically to customer requirements. The challenge is that the design and configuration of the product is unique for each order or group of orders. This makes system maintenance, costing and scheduling difficult. Delivering on time to ensure customer satisfaction is constrained by both third-party product supply, and in-house assembly and configuration capabilities.

And as you grow, these challenges are amplified. To succeed – and to continue succeeding – you need a turn-key business management solution that accommodates all of these challenges. In order to ensure on-time and in-full delivery to customers, you need a single solution that handles all the complexities specifically associated with CTO (like integration to CAD, bills of material and scheduling) as well as all other aspects of your business (like finance, customer relationship management, inventory control, reporting and mobility).

Thanks to the highly configurable CTO solutions (Sage X3 and MYOB Advanced), we can tailor a solution to effectively manage:
