Fluid handling equipment manufacturers have always struggled with
balancing the demands of complex engineering while also selling configurable
and customized products efficiently (and profitably). Coupled with challenges like
supply chain disruptions and evolving customer expectations, finding ways to improve
collaboration and innovation is what will ultimately protect already thin profit margins.
Fortunately, industrial software developers have created solutions to help fluid equipment manufacturers overcome these challenges. Here are the three best solutions to help improve your efficiency:
You Can’t Scale AI on Ambition Alone.
To quote any pump or fluid handling product, the sales team has to intake the customer’s conditions of service, detailed specs, technical data, and other critical information to help match them to the right product. This can take a lot of valuable time from both sales and the customer, and requires ongoing back and forth if the right questions aren’t asked up front.
Product selectors are portals that standardize and automate the process, guiding customers through a list of questions and options they can fill out in a fraction of the time it takes to make a phone call. The system can automatically pinpoint the best product matches in the catalog, saving customers the pain of trying to find a base product on their own.
Finding the right industrial software can be as challenging as it is for your customers to find the right fluid handling equipment manufacturers. You need a platform with a proven track record of success, and purpose-built solutions designed specifically for your industry needs.
Revalize offers a full suite of tools for managing the entire product lifecycle, from ideation and design, to simulation, sales, and beyond. Using a product selector, CPQ, and engineering simulation from different vendors can create integration issues, slowing down processes and mitigating your efficiency gains. Revalize consolidates all three of these solutions and more for a seamless suite of solutions. For many customers, this forms the foundation for their entire digital transformation.
Innovation and collaboration are the key to navigating the next decade of the fluid handling equipment industry. Want to set your company up for success?
