The next step in digitisation: from ETO to CTO
Whether you are a machine builder, BIM manufacturer, supplier or active in the automotive industry, building customer-specific products based on an Engineering to Order approach is time-consuming and error-sensitive. Take the next step in digitisation with Cadac Group's Configure to Order software.
Configure to Order software is software that allows you to still develop customer-specific products, but using standardised building blocks. Unlike the ETO approach where each product, part or machine is specified, developed and produced to order. Configure to Order changes the way you work. To apply CTO optimally, you need to use appropriate CPQ-software, engineering configurators, PDM- and PLM-software. Thanks to our extensive range of Autodesk software and in-house developed plug-ins, you will find the software suitable for your organisation.
Standardise customer-specific solutions
With the Engineering to Order approach (ETO), you make products specifically to customers' requirements. They not only expect you to produce complex products faster, but also at lower costs. Thanks to Configure to Order, you overcome these challenges effortlessly. Thanks to Cadac's product and sales configurator, PDM and PLM solutions, you overcome these challenges effortlessly.
Take the step from ETO to CTO and standardise your most successful products through standardised processes. Collect options, dimensions and product features in a product configurator and configure a proposal for your customer in just a few mouse clicks. PDM software and PLM software is also indispensable in a well-functioning CTO approach.

Compatible software for your CTO processes
Do you want to work CTO? Then you need to adapt your working methods at various stages of your process. First, in the quotation phase where you quickly prepare achievable and correct proposals for your customer, for this you need the right Configure Price Quote tools (CPQ tools). Next, the proposal must be further detailed to move on to the production phase. An engineering configurator is recommended for this. Based on years of experience, Cadac's consultants developed Cadac NXTdim Configurator for these phases.
You should also align your product data management and/or product lifecycle management CTO. Without a well-functioning PDM-/PLM system, your CTO approach will not work optimally as product data and system data play a crucial role within this approach. Therefore, discover Autodesk Vault, Autodesk Vault Organice and Autodesk Fusion Lifecyle to improve your results.
