CAD Automation for High Tech
Sell complex equipment more easily and manufacture it faster.
Wouldn't it be great if you could: sell any product simply and seamlessly no matter its complexity; provide a visual customer experience which boosts conversion rates by 40%; and run your business more efficiently by removing bottlenecks and breaking down silos between sales, operations, and engineering? Well, with KBMax, you can.
The challenge
Sales is striving to close. But engineering is bogged down with requests
Your buyers need accurate, detailed drawings and pricing to have confidence in their technical equipment orders. Sales is highly dependent on technical and engineering teams to provide these drawings and validate that the configurations they’ve created for customers are free from errors and profitable.
Your technical staff are already overstretched and bogged down with tedious, menial tasks. Scaling is impossible at this point. Your teams are hungry for a more effective way to simplify product design and auto-generate CAD outputs to help sales with configuration and streamline the manufacturing process.
The solution
Automatically generate CAD files and create technical drawings without any input from engineering
Sales reps can finally configure equipment themselves by using KBMax’s intuitive visual interface. The complex engineering rules required to configure high tech equipment accurately are baked in, ensuring that every configuration is optimized from a technical standpoint. Reps (even new hires) gain a detailed understanding of product offerings and technical features without ever calling on the engineering department’s expertise.
Once a customer has settled on a design, reps can automatically generate all the necessary technical drawings and CAD file outputs for quoting at the touch of a button. KBMax works with systems like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, and PTC Creo. Say goodbye to communication breakdowns and incessant emailing. High tech manufacturer, NI, converted a five-day configuration process to just five minutes with KBMax. It’s a game-changer.
“Part of our company’s choice to go with Epicor CPQ as a vendor partner was that they seemed to “get it”. They picked up on our business needs quickly and understood our complicated configuration asks.”
“We already see developments that will change the manufacturing industry through 2023 — for example, uniform physical goods that are transformed into unique digital items through the use of information technology — so the time to act is now.”
“Epicor CPQ gave our customers and engineers the ability to design a water quality unit to fit their needs without waiting for a response from our sales people or waiting on a design from our CAD department.”
