Solutions: enomic.webconfigurator: Four steps to success
Four steps to success
The enomic.web configurator puts you in the position of being able to present the quality standard of expensive systems (e.g. used by automobile manufacturers) on your own website, but at considerably lower costs. After having received appropriate training, our clients generally create and maintain their product model independently, unless of course, we have been asked to take care of this matter.
Background: our enomic©-principle resolves the discrepancy, previously caused by the desire to offer a complete illustration of a complex product logic on one hand while, on the other hand, attempting to keep the level of maintenance required low. Especially in case of service and distribution via internet, the economic efficiency regarding the first model creation and regular updating, is just as important as the successful operation of the configurator itself.
In conclusion, it can be said that the enomic©-principle reduces project effort, makes you independent of the supplier, and conserves your know-how in the company.
With the enomic.webconfigurator, you can comfortably present your products in the internet, in just four steps:
First step: Model creation
By use of the enomic.webconfigurator you can easily construct, or modify, your product structure. The rule wizard allows you to display your product logic, without difficulty and regardless of programming skills.
By means of product classes (e.g. car model), features (e.g. engine, colour, wheels) and feature values (e.g. 6-cylinder, 4-cylinder), almost any product can be presented. Individually defined rules and parameters allow simple choices for selections („only allowed if“), as well as complex product configurations. Time-consuming individual maintenance, in case of variants (maximum model with all possible variants), becomes obsolete. They can either be administered by means of the clever rule collection, or directly assumed from your electronic product catalogue.
Second step: Defining graphical lay-out
The graphic editor allows you to define the appearance of you future web site. Here you can define order, structure, layout and set-up of the user interface, while all product coherences are comfortably accessible.
Third step: generating instead of programming
The enomic.webconfigurator allows you to record product information and rules, simply and quickly, in form of a model. The elaborate programming of presentation logic is no longer necessary, but is taken over by the system. The required program codes are simply generated and can immediately be employed on your website.
Fourth step: adapting the design
The final step lies in the artistic fine-tuning. Your web-designer must integrate the generated program codes into your existing website, precisely adapted to appearance and usability of your internet presence.
Due to modern architecture and technology, the enomic.webconfigurator can be integrated into other applications, without causing problems. This also includes data exchange with your web shop (e.g. xt:Commerce), during simultaneous use of the enomic.webconfigurator.
Now your online-configuration solution is complete
In case of updates, simply modify the product model, generate the program codes, and already the product model is updated.
The enomic.webconfigurator considerably reduces maintenance efforts required, regarding different product variants. You will now only need texts and images for the basic components, and no longer for each variant. This facilitates matters immensely, particularly concerning establishment and maintenance of product combinations.
