Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS CPQ Billed as AI-Powered Solution

Dassault Systèmes is launching SOLIDWORKS CPQ, a configure, price and quote solution on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Dassault Systèmes announced SOLIDWORKS CPQ at 3DEXPERIENCE World.

SOLIDWORKS CPQ integrates generative AI capabilities for businesses to move the order and delivery of customized products through a virtual experience that links product portfolio management, development, manufacturing and sales.

By using SOLIDWORKS CPQ, companies can define and design a portfolio of configurable products to meet customer requirements, and produce accurate quotes. This configure-to-order approach extends SOLIDWORKS applications beyond design, incorporating product portfolio managers and sales teams into the manufacturing experience. This business solution uses technologies in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.  

By linking product configurability rules to a virtual twin on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it's possible to use SOLIDWORKS CPQ to explore material selection, structural integrity, availability, cost and other factors and select options needed. Based on these selections, SOLIDWORKS CPQ helps technical sales engineers to generate an accurate quote as well as a 3D configured product that can be explored in a virtual reality experience to immerse the customer in the completed project, helping with final decisions.  

SOLIDWORKS CPQ enables the ability to update product definitions as customer preferences may change, and it also allows capacity to launch technical and financial approvals of quotes.

As product development strategies across all industries trend toward the delivery of products that respond to specific customer requests, competitive businesses can rely on these new ways of working to balance product customization and standardization efficiently and profitably.  

“SOLIDWORKS CPQ builds upon the 30 years of innovation that have made 3D design simple and powerful.  With this new business solution, we’re expanding our scope and reaching new audiences by introducing a complete software ecosystem for manufacturing with next generation technologies that work together in an integrated, effortless way,” said Manish Kumar, CEO, SOLIDWORKS, Dassault Systèmes.
