Mastering complex quoting, Lifecycle Management, and Subcontractor Coordination
Industrial machinery and components (IM&C) manufacturers operate in a demanding landscape where precision, coordination, and responsiveness are key. Meeting customers’ tailored specifications goes beyond basic production tools, it requires a comprehensive solution to manage complex processes. From handling multiple bill of materials (BOMs) to coordinating subcontractors and delivering accurate quotes, IM&C manufacturers need a solution that offers full control, real-time insights, and seamless agility across all production stages and departments.
Transforming Product Quoting: From manual calculations to integrated product quoting
Calculating prices outside an ERP system often falls to specialists who can interpret custom requirements and assess production costs accurately. However, this manual approach is time-intensive and resource-heavy. An integrated product price calculation revolutionizes this process by turning a cumbersome task into a streamlined, standardized workflow. With access to consistent data on products, materials, prices, and costs, businesses can produce reliable quotes effortlessly.
This transformation allows product data from quotations to flow directly into production items, preparing them for manufacturing with ease. The result? A smooth, error-free transition from quotation to production that saves time and boosts accuracy.
Benefits of accurate product quoting:
- Generate quotes faster, using fewer resources
- Reduce the time taken to calculate a product cost and selling price
- Simplify feature and option configurations, reducing reliance on specialized expertise
- Include indirect costs with precision
- Speed up BOM creation through automated CAD integration

From managing multiple BOMs to integrated version control
Throughout a machine’s lifecycle, technical adjustments are inevitable—whether it’s tweaking material specifications or refining designs to enhance future production quality. A robust BOM management system with version control ensures these changes are tracked, maintaining compliance with regulations and providing full traceability.
By integrating change information into the ERP system, manufacturers can ensure the right materials are ordered and utilized in production. This eliminates guesswork and keeps processes aligned from start to finish.
Benefits of effortless BOM management and version control:
- Seamlessly manage multiple active BOMs simultaneously.
- Fully understand the impact of BOM and component changes.
- Minimize obsolete inventory by syncing BOM updates with production and purchasing.

From missing overview of external processes to seamless Subcontractor Coordination
Manufacturing a machine involves a range of specialized tasks like welding, painting, assembly, electrics and more – often requiring outsourcing to leverage external expertise, machinery, and capabilities. Coordinating these external operations means managing material deliveries, arranging transport, and scheduling return shipments, all while keeping production on track.
An integrated subcontractor management simplifies this complexity with automated workflows that monitor production steps, trigger material orders, and manage logistics. This ensures smooth order processing and timely delivery to customers, turning a logistical challenge into a competitive advantage.
Benefits of streamlined subcontractor coordination and management:
- Cut down time required to coordinate and plan subcontracting.
- Enhance visibility into external production processes.
- Automate subcontractor production plans and forecasts.
- Share real-time information electronically with suppliers.
