Scansonic CPQ Implementation: Reducing Quote Time from 10 Days to 30 Minutes
Case study showing how Scansonic MI used Sofon CPQ to manage billions of product variants and cut quotation time from 7-10 days to 30 minutes while eliminating coordination delays.
Scansonic MI, a Berlin-based manufacturer of laser welding and soldering systems for automotive OEMs, implemented Sofon CPQ to handle highly configurable products with billions of theoretical variants. The software embedded product logic, boundary conditions, and cable selection rules, allowing sales staff to generate error-free quotations without cross-department coordination. Implementation also enabled sales partners in China and other regions to create independent quotes, supporting 20 percent annual revenue growth and global expansion.
