A Sales Configurator is a calculation tool for salesmen. The software allows salesmen to flawlessly compose modularly built products, using predetermined rules and parameters. A Sales Configurator allows direct setting up of a tight quotation.
The difference between a Sales Configurator and a Product Configurator is mostly seen in their usage. The software is the same. But the focus within a Sales Configurator lies in the pricing and quotation. Whereas for a Product Configurator the focus lies in the built bill of materials, in other words, Engineering.
It is important that the sales configurator is going to do a portion of your sales. As such, Elfsquad does not require programming knowledge, but commercially aimed product knowledge. The product structures are poured into a simple game of question and answer, and are gone over during the sales pitch.

After a successful Proof of Concept we chose Elfsquad, as we find it to be an advanced and elegant platform. A platform that provides an intuitive user experience while users gain control over the data and how this is displayed in the form of a Q&A game.
‘During the first sales conversations we had the best feeling with Elfsquad. We did not have the idea that any other party, competitors both national and international, knew exactly what we needed.’
A LeapBox always has to fit, so that gives infinite possibilities, and if we had to do that by hand, I think we would get many incorrect BOMs.
