Configit Unveils Major Updates in CLM-as-a-Service
In a significant development for the field of Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM), Configit has launched its latest offerings: Configit Ace® 7 and Quote® 13. As a global leader in CLM, Configit is setting new standards by integrating advanced features designed for SaaS deployment. This leap forward aims to enhance the way companies manage their product configurations, making processes smoother and more efficient.
The Power of Configit Ace® 7
Configit Ace 7 is engineered not only to streamline the management of product variants but also to support complex product configurations across their entire lifecycle. This platform promises to drastically reduce the time from product specification to configuration creation. Notably, the introduction of AI capabilities is redefining how organizations approach product configuration.
One of the standout features of Configit Ace 7 is the
Configit Ace Thread repository. This innovative tool allows users to save and retrieve configurations from multiple front-end applications seamlessly. By preserving crucial configuration data throughout the product lifecycle—from initial design to configuration, construction, and maintenance—manufacturers gain valuable insights into customer preferences and can more effectively identify configurations impacted by supply chain changes.
Enhanced Configuration Capabilities with Configit Quote® 13
Alongside Ace 7, Configit Quote 13 enhances quoting precision for multi-tiered systems that are particularly complex. It introduces highly customizable configuration, pricing, and quoting (CPQ) capabilities, ensuring clients can provide error-free quotes much faster than before.
By utilizing Microsoft Azure's robust open services and APIs, Configit's CLM-as-a-Service solution establishes a trusted source for product configuration data, accessible anytime and anywhere, reinforcing collaborative efforts across departments.
Quick and Efficient Product Configurator
A crucial addition to Configit’s service is the
Configit Ace Configurator. This SaaS-based application allows customers to create a fully functional product configurator in mere minutes by specifying template locations and personalizing presentation themes. Unlike traditional approaches requiring extensive development time, this tool significantly accelerates value generation from product models, enabling companies to react quickly to market demands.
The Role of Generative AI in Configuration
As part of its initiative towards innovation, Configit has introduced
Configit Lab. This center is focused on exploring groundbreaking solutions for next-generation CLM, particularly through the lens of generative AI. A highlight of this initiative is the
Configit Copilot, designed to substantially lessen the duration required for developing complex product rules and models.
Damantha Boteju, Configit’s Director of Product and Technology, emphasized the transformative impact of generative AI on CLM-as-a-Service: “By integrating AI into our solution, Configit is enabling customers to implement a comprehensive CLM system that spans from engineering to manufacturing, sales, and service. Our goal remains steadfast: to provide superior configuration technology that meets the increasing demands of our clientele.”
