From receiving to shipping, companies operate under the pressures of next-day delivery created by the boom in online shopping. As a result, manufacturers in the material handling industry need to design and implement warehouse solutions quickly. This is where Configura’s software shines.

Designing warehouses and related material handling solutions – with highly complex scopes of work and configurations – requires a significant investment. Each project demands a complete, thorough and detailed analysis in order to produce an effective solution. Projects also require a variety of skills from different departments, leading to many handover points where information is often redrawn or recalculated manually.

As the material handling industry has evolved, manufacturers have used in-house solutions to design and plan warehouses and large spaces – but these solutions, historically disconnected from one another, create more complexity in the sales and order process.

Configura’s rules-based software eliminates human errors that often occur when quotes are generated manually. Behind the scenes, the software handles the complexity of Troax’s products so the sales process can be as quick and efficient as possible.

The software lets users produce detailed quotes for large, complex projects within the same day or even in a matter of hours. The order process for customers is easy to understand and enhances communication. Configura’s 3D rendering capabilities allow customers to see exactly what they order.

“The industry in general has higher expectations than ever before and the time customers expect to spend on purchasing our product systems is becoming less and less. Our customers expect us to supply them with 3D renderings, layout drawings, a complete materials list and pricing. Our sales team relies on the software to deliver on customers’ demands and to sell our product quickly and efficiently. It makes the sales process so much easier for us, our sales team and our customers,” said Ask.
