Case Study: Krone Group achieves a single source of configuration truth and faster, error-free configure-to-order with Configit's Enterprise Product Configurator

How Krone implemented a Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution that reduces duplication of work, eliminates configuration errors, and scales as they grow

Krone, a leading European manufacturer of trailers and agricultural machinery, faced growing complexity after mergers and expansion into new markets. Moving in 2015 from bespoke contract manufacturing to a modular configure-to-order strategy, the company needed to handle more than 60,000 complex, customer-specific units per year while breaking up data silos, cutting duplicate work, reducing configuration errors, and speeding time to market.

Partnering with Configit, Krone implemented the Enterprise Product Configurator using Configuration Lifecycle Management and Virtual Tabulation® to create a centralized knowledge base. The configurator automates module selection, generates parts lists, work plans and production requirements, analyzes the full solution space, and manages variants—delivering a single source of truth that reduced manual effort, eliminated errors, optimized the product range, and scaled with the business.
