A valuable business asset
10 years ago, the number of Epicor customers using the Configurator module was a relatively small niche. Since this time manufacturers alike have moved away from the mass producing of products to be more “value add” whereby products are tailored to the specific customers’ needs and tastes.
In these companies the use of the configurator has grown organically whereby ownership of the configurator is largely viewed as an IT function. In truth while IT should play its part in some maintenance of the configurator typically it should be between sales and engineering who should own the data that drives the configurator Q&A and resulting manufacturing method.
The Epicor configurator is a powerful tool and largely a blank canvas at the implementation stage; depending on how the configurator is implemented it can become a valuable business asset but at the same time you can create your own monster where you are left with a business tool that too few people understand how it works and / or large resources are required to maintain it. Worse still the configurator becomes unmaintained which leads onto impacting other areas of the business such as material planning and scheduling.
At Blue Sky ERP we have multi industry experienced configurator consultants who can help you unpick and understand your existing configurators or work with customers who are new to Epicor configurators that need assistance in working out ways in how to model a configurator to suit the business needs for current and future products and features.
