RBDM (Rules Based Decision Model) technology
RBDM is the collection of all manufacturing decisions that determine
product specifications. Decisions from engineering, marketing, sales,
manufacturing, etc. are combined to determine how a product will
be produced and with what available options. PowerQuote implements
these decisions (Rules) into a “Decision Model” to drive
the quoting process. RBDM verifies each step of the configuration
process to ensure that the quote will be valid.
Application Questions
Application questions are a tool to help guide the salesman
in selecting the best product for the customer, by asking predetermined
questions PowerQuote will adjust what options are presented to the salesperson.
Standard Configuration Packages
Standard configurations can be a very useful tool if a large percentage
of sales is related to one or two product configurations. Any number
of standard configurations can be created. A quote may be as simple
as selecting the standard configuration and changing one option
