The aim of this cooperation is to provide companies with an end-to-end solution that allows them to map the entire product life cycle and automate processes at all levels of complexity, from Configure-to-Order (CTO) to Configure-to-Order Plus (CTO+) and Engineer-to-Order (ETO). Together, the partners plan to market industry-specific solutions, including for mechanical and plant engineering, the automotive industry and the high-tech sector, in order to specifically address the requirements of multi-variant product landscapes. Together, adesso and Configit will drive end-to-end digital transformation by holistically addressing customer processes across sales, engineering, and service.
Technology and expertise combined
adesso manufacturing industry solutions GmbH, a subsidiary of adesso SE, brings to the partnership its extensive experience in complex end-to-end processes, particularly in customised manufacturing, and in the integration and automation of IT systems in the manufacturing and process industry. Configit complements this with its market-leading CLM solutions and technologies for complex product configurations. In practice, this means the partners can combine the configuration solution Configit Ace for CTO processes with the adesso FIRE Framework for ETO processes. The integration of both technologies enables seamless connection to common ERP, CRM and PLM systems, as well as specialised industry solutions.
Companies benefit from end-to-end automated processes that not only reduce complexity, but also increase operational efficiency. Combining CLM with existing IT architectures can significantly reduce configuration error rates and improve process reliability. At the same time, optimised processes in product lifecycle management shorten time-to-market, while networked CRM, eCommerce and configuration solutions result in a consistent, guided sales experience, thereby improving customer satisfaction in the long term.
