Product Configuration Eliminates Roadblocks

Specialty Vehicles Present Special Problems

Specialty vehicles are by their nature very complex. They are “special” after all. It’s common for a manufacturer to never build the exact same vehicle twice. This makes quoting and configuring demanding and time-consuming, typically involving a team of engineers and days of phone calls back and forth to create an accurate, buildable quote.

Sales Innovation Shortens the Sales Process

Cincom Acquire brings the tribal and expert product knowledge scattered throughout your organization to one point and then pushes it to your sales team when they need it. Now salespeople don’t have to know every possible configuration to be experts. They don’t even have to be especially tech savvy. Acquire ensures that the vehicle the customer orders—no matter how complex—is buildable and profitable.

Think your product is too complex to automate? Think again.

Cincom technology is a high-performance rules engine. It takes complex rules structures with your tightly defined constraints and options to create accurate outputs for even the most complex processes. But that doesn’t mean its complex for end-users. To the contrary, the application is designed for non-technical users, and it integrates seamlessly and works with your existing systems. It’s full speed ahead for sales.
