The manufacturer is always having to offer new variants of its products. Often, new variants are created by modifying existing product designs as you process the order. The important thing is to react quickly to customers&#8217; requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022\u00a0 The customer determines the features of the product. A customer buying a car, for example, can choose the features of the car and combine these features as required.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The product configurator improves information exchange between sales, engineering, and production. Variant configuration helps the customer or salesperson to put together specifications for the product and ensure that the product can be produced from these specifications. It also ensures that production costs do not overstep the mark.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Features:<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 No need to create a separate material for each <strong>variant <\/strong>of a product in your company<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 User needs to create one <strong>Configurable Materials<\/strong>.
