Configuration Lifecycle Management

Supporting & Controlling VCPowerPack Data in Your Value Chain

VCPowerPack combines many advantages in one solution. It supports all important segments in the configuration lifecycle management (CLM), starting with modeling, engineering, sales, manufacturing, logistics and reporting.

Configure Smarter, Not Harder with VCPowerPack

For companies that offer Mass Customization Production, almost every business process from engineering to manufacturing as well as distribution of configurable products must be adapted to ensure both accuracy and efficiency. The creation of configuration capabilities in today’s markets means that configuration data is increasingly likely to be distributed across multiple applications in an enterprise system. CLM software provides the functionality needed for a lifecycle approach to product configuration.

VCPowerPack includes all configuration logic for engineering, sales, pricing, manufacturing, maintenance and planning. Primarily integrated into the ERP system, VCPowerPack also ensures seamless data exchange with your PLM, MES, PPS and CRM systems through bidirectional interfaces.

This makes VCPowerPack the “Single Source of Truth” for your configuration solutions. It eliminates the need for multiple maintenance and reduces the risk of errors in product rollout, change management and later in operational order processing. This is achieved through complex object dependencies, plausibility checks and automated master data management.

Ultimately, our vision acts as our guiding compass, and our unwavering commitment to our values ensures we consistently deliver exceptional results, benefiting both our clients and our organization.

Detailed VCPowerPack Data in Your Value Chain

Product Description

Use Guided Selling to describe the product the customer wants. VCPowerPack ensures that the correct data is entered for a smooth process flow by optimized input masks, rules and object dependencies. A plausibility check validates all relevant data for the calculation and all subsequent process steps.

VCPowerPack simulates the production process. Raw material consumption and machine running times are determined and lead to a detailed cost calculation. This calculation is included in the quotation and can be used in pricing, e.g. for the calculation of contribution margins.

Calculation

Quotation Generation

Calculation and pricing for various scenarios as well as automated delivery date determination and quotation dispatch are supported. VCPowerPack provides the basics for this, such as exact procurement, and throughput times and logistical details, as well as structures for the offer form and its dispatch.

Referring to the created offer and offer updates, only the price has to be checked in order to load an order into the system. Master data creation and procurement can be triggered automatically or manually for each customer.

Order Entry & Creation

Product Design (CAD)

For tool procurement, the final product design is created based on the VCPowerPack data. This data includes design data such as dimensions, material thickness, number of uses and much more.

Generate with the help of VCPowerPack with just one click all master data necessary for smooth order processing including all logistics steps. This includes data such as materials, price conditions, bill of material, and routing allocation and much more.

Automated Master Data Generation

Production Planning

For strategic, tactical and operational planning, VCPowerPack provides all necessary data to bi-directionally optimize cutting list or production control systems.

All product data and production times determined in VCPowerPack provide optimal support for production control and feedback into the ERP system.

Production

Warehousing

The dimensions and weights determined in VCPowerPack, as well as details of the recipient, provide ideal support for storage and retrieval processes. Whether directly in SAP or via an interface with the respective warehouse software.

The generation of handling unit(s) within VCPowerPack makes data such as dimensions, weights and recipient details visible and thus supports the entire logistics process – whether internal, external with carriers or external warehouses at the national and international level.

Logistics

Reporting

Since a standard software such as SAP does not know its industry in detail, VCPowerPack provides all the necessary information to create customized reports. In combination, this results in comprehensive industry-specific reporting for different levels and areas in your company.
