User-Friendly Configuration
Designed for business users as well as IT professionals
To make configurations user-friendly, most modeling is possible via a low-code approach without programming. The use of visual models provides more intuitive options for configuration creation. Integrated release management for configuration models supports customizations. As a business solution, VCPowerPack Cloud also supports more advanced requirements through full API access to template and element instances. The back-end supports custom front-end development (“Custom-UI”).
Self-service configuration options
Nowadays, customers and users prefer self-services that provide reliable information on feasibility, availability and pricing during the course of product customization. With VCPowerPack Cloud, you map the possible configurations in real time and can use stored detailed configuration data for further processing.
System-Independent

With the open microservices architecture of VCPowerPack Cloud, any business scenario with individual configuration requirements can become reality. For example, seamless integration lets you benefit from a configuration engine independent of your preferred CRM or ERP platform to simplify complex back-end processes, or extend the usability of a configuration to your end-customers by integrating it with your e-commerce system.

Microservices Architecture
For a faster set up and better maintenance
Microservices architecture enables us to develop products aligned with business opportunities and business processes in a short time. Applications are easier to build and maintain when they are broken down into a series of smaller, composable fragments. Services can be implemented and managed using different programming languages, databases and software environments. Thanks to its scalability, this architectural method is considered particularly ideal when enabling support for a range of platforms and devices.
