A Configit Case Study
Linde Hydraulics, founded in 1904 and operating globally with about 1,200 employees and a presence in 50+ countries, develops modular hydraulic drive systems for mobile and industrial machinery. Its broad, highly configurable product portfolio made valid configuration and quoting difficult; an in‑house Excel tool lacked SAP integration, required manual SAP entry, could not add new technical features, had no web or multilingual support, and imposed high maintenance and poor performance.
Implementing Configit Quote allowed Linde to extract configuration rules, pricing and customer data directly from SAP (preserving LO‑VC functionality), provide guided configuration with conflict management and an SAP conflict solver, and deliver a multilingual web interface. The solution eliminated duplicate data entry, sped up time to quote, enabled enhanced guided selling across markets, freed experts to focus on core work, and was delivered on time and within budget.
