Leading Building Materials and Systems
Producer Implements Configit to Enrich CPQ Process
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Configit, a global leader in Configuration
Lifecycle Management (CLM), today announced that Knauf Digital
GmbH, a subsidiary of the Knauf Group, has implemented Configit
Ace® SaaS to accelerate its Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) process.
Configit's CLM technology integrated with Salesforce CPQ will
provide greater scalability, transparency and insight.
The Knauf Group operates as a family business and is present in
over 90 countries with over 80 raw materials processing plants and
over 300 manufacturing plants in five continents. The company is
one of the world's leading manufacturers of construction materials
for interior design, building insulation and design ceilings. In
2022, Knauf employed over 41,000 employees worldwide.
Innovation and the integration of technological innovations are
the cornerstones of its business strategy. With high quality
products, Knauf continuously sets new standards to make the
construction and modernization of buildings better, more efficient
and more sustainable. Knauf Digital GmbH drives commercial
excellence through digitalization for all companies of the Knauf
Group globally.
Knauf Digital sought to enrich its Salesforce CPQ stack with a
strong configuration engine to handle diverse data and modeling
complexity. Knauf Digital implemented Configit Ace SaaS as its new
future-proof configuration platform to supplement the "C" of its
existing Salesforce CPQ with a seamless integration to its SAP
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
By using Configit Ace, Knauf Digital benefits from:
- Increased modeling and data handling capacity in the wide
product portfolio – Configit Ace allows sales, manufacturing
and engineering to align with a single source of truth and ensure
Knauf only quotes what can be sold in its various markets.
- Ability to scale – Integrating Salesforce CPQ with CLM
provides the scale required to satisfy dynamic customer
requirements and address increasing product complexity, without
affecting current customer installations and processes.
Andreas Witt, head of customer
software and technology, Knauf Digital said: "To manage product
complexity, deliver what is promised and do so profitably, all
product data across the organization must be aligned to a central
configuration model. Configit's solution helps us understand the
impact of decisions being made when offerings change across the
globe. Configit Ace SaaS will provide a real backbone of our
organization."
Johan Salenstedt, CEO, Configit, said: "When it comes to
quotation accuracy, it all starts with a powerful and dependable
configurator. Our Configit Ace SaaS solution makes it possible to
orchestrate product configuration data from existing IT systems and
product configurators, enabling a shared source of truth across the
entire organization. We look forward to continuing our work with
Knauf Digital to enhance its CPQ investment."
