“We wanted to provide more accurate quotes and help to save our customers money. Design automation helps us make smarter, better designs while reducing the errors and rework that can upset customers.”
– David Johnson, Manager of Information Systems, KYSOR

Complex specifications and tight deadlines are standard requirements for bid requests today in the industrial machinery market. Successful proposals demonstrate value and inspire customer confidence in your solution. Programme profitability depends upon accurate cost estimates derived from designs based on reuse and smart configuration.
- Are your proposals based on hard facts or rough estimates? Misjudging the cost or timeline for a project can result in a lost opportunity or an unprofitable project.
- Are your designers configuring every product to specification manually? Repetitive design work drains resources and limits the ability to pursue new and profitable projects.
- Are you shipping profit out the door with overdesigned products? Excess material and over-specified components shrink the bottom line and lead to uncompetitive bids.
- Are you creating confidence with your proposals? Successful proposals go beyond images of 3D models to prove fit, function and appearance.
