Product Configurator Software
Configure Complex Products With Consistent Rules
Acumatica Product Configurator helps manufacturers define product features, options, dimensions, formulas, pricing, bills of material, and routings within a rules-based configuration process.
Instead of maintaining every possible product variation separately, manufacturers can use defined configuration rules to guide product choices and carry configuration information into sales and production.
Acumatica is the platform.
Milestone Information Solutions makes it work for your business.
Configure Products Without Managing Every Combination
Configurable products can become difficult to manage when product knowledge is spread across spreadsheets, price lists, engineering documents, and individual employees. Product Configurator brings those rules into a structured process inside Acumatica.
Features + Options + Rules = Configured Product
Product requirements are translated into defined selections and configuration logic. The resulting configuration can determine the materials, manufacturing steps, quantities, and pricing required for the finished product.
What Can Be Configured?
The exact structure depends on the product being configured and how sales, engineering, inventory, and production need to work together.
Configure-to-Order vs. Configure-to-Stock
Acumatica Product Configurator can support products configured for a specific customer order as well as common configurations produced for inventory.
Configure-to-Order
Configure a finished product around a specific customer requirement using predefined features, options, and configuration rules.
Good fit for:
Configure-to-Stock
Create defined product configurations that can be produced and stocked when common combinations are expected to be needed regularly.
Good fit for:
From Configuration to Manufacturing
A completed configuration can carry the product requirements needed for manufacturing into the bill of material and routing used for production.
Pricing and Configuration Revisions
Configuration-Based Pricing
Different product selections can affect materials, quantities, costs, and selling price. Acumatica Product Configurator can use the selected features and options as part of determining the price for the configured product.
Revision Control
Configuration definitions can be maintained through revisions so changes to product rules can be controlled while an active configuration remains available for use.
Existing configurations can also provide a starting point when customers order similar products again.
Product Configurator vs. Spreadsheets
The goal is not simply to replace a spreadsheet. It is to connect product configuration with the sales, inventory, BOM, routing, costing, and production information already managed in Acumatica.
Milestone Information Solutions
Product Configuration Has to Match How You Build
Product Configurator works best when the rules behind the product reflect how sales, engineering, inventory, and production work together.
Milestone Information Solutions helps manufacturers evaluate where Product Configurator fits, structure configuration requirements, and connect it with the broader Acumatica Manufacturing environment.
