Case Study: Aebi Schmidt Group streamlines complex product configuration with Sofon

The Aebi Schmidt Group uses Sofon to cope with the complexity and variety of their products

Aebi Schmidt Group, a manufacturer of complex road-cleaning and winter-service vehicles, needed a better way to manage highly variable product configurations across countries and sales offices. Before Sofon, quotations were created in Excel and Word, which was slow, error-prone, and difficult to keep consistent, while SAP alone could not handle the complexity of their product rules and customer-specific requirements.

With Sofon’s product configurator and proposal/order management solution, Aebi Schmidt Group split configuration into sales and production models and integrated the process with SAP. Sofon enabled them to generate professional, feasible quotations in 5 to 10 minutes, automatically create bills of materials and routings, reduce manual work and errors, and shorten the quotation-to-order process, delivering clear cost advantages.
