The ability to import Excel files using Solid Edge Design Configurator Connect allows you to automatically link specific details from the file with your product line, and the web configuration begins as you import the rules and fields straight from your configured assembly to the browser.
Automatically generate sales documentation
Solid Edge Design Configurator Connect enables you to connect your engineering processes with sales and marketing and automatically generate sales documentation from configured products to quickly deliver accurate, customized sales quotes. Generated sales documentation can include a bill of materials (BOM), catalog information, commercial documentation and 3D models.
Standard templates can be defined for your sales team to use for sales quotes and contract documents, ensuring the inclusion of all important information. These templates can be customized with various layouts, images, logos and customer information alongside the configured product. The standardization of your sales documentation is crucial for maintaining a strong, reliable company image and reputation.
