‘s-Hertogenbosch, January 11, 2021 – ISD Benelux from ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Elfsquad from Drachten join forces to combine the 3D CAD world with the benefits of a product configurator. By choosing for this cooperation, customers in the manufacturing industry can automate their processes and sell, engineer, and produce their products more successfully, faster, and without failure costs.
“Both organizations see the benefits of market broadening as a result of the cooperation”. By combining Elfsquad’s product configurator and HiCAD, ISD Benelux’ 3D CAD software, a solution is offered that saves a lot of valuable engineering time. Where a customer would have to prepare and implement all possible options of a project through an excel sheet to get it in a CAD-model, they can now automate it by using the configurator. “By adding Elfsquad’’s configurator through the process, a direct connection between production and sales can be made.”, explains Joost Swarts, Sales Manager at ISD Benelux. That way, sales are done through an engineering-validated model, not only reducing errors and run time but also removing various frustrations between sales and engineering.
When a lot of options are available within a product package, it can cost salespeople, dealers, and the customers a lot of time; and a chance of error is present, too. The Elfsquad Configurator is a reflection of the sales pitch: where through asking sales questions the right composition of the product is eventually found. By combining HiCAD and Elfsquad, a CAD model is generated from the configuration or CAD parameters are adjusted accordingly. Engineers can then still adjust the model in HiCAD where needed.
Another great benefit is the possibility to automatically connect data to the ERP-system. Elfsquad has various integrations available for this purpose, directly connecting products and bills of materials. The prices, too, are directly insightful and the run time along with the number of quotation revisions are drastically reduced.
