Cincinnati Incorporated Selects BuyDesign® Guided Selling and Configuration Software

Machine tool manufacturer to use product configurator and quoting solution to streamline quote-to-order processes

Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) June 24, 2009 -- TDCI Inc. (TDCI), the leading provider of configurator-based software solutions, announced today that Cincinnati Incorporated (CINCINNATI), a leading manufacturer of metalworking equipment, has selected TDCI's BuyDesign Guided Selling and Configuration software to streamline quoting and ordering processes for the company's laser, press brake, shear, and powder metal press equipment lines.

BuyDesign Channel Sales will be used by sales reps to generate quotes and place orders for new machines. BuyDesign Configurator will replace the company's current product configurator within their ERP system, and will be used to generate manufacturing information to drive production.

"BuyDesign will significantly reduce the time and effort required to produce a quote for our machines, as well as the time to get the order into manufacturing" said Scott McAffry, CINCINNATI Contract Administration Manager. "That will enable us to be more responsive to our customers and reduce overall lead time."

Brian Turner, CINCINNATI Manager of Business Systems added: "The ability to easily integrate the product configurator into our existing order entry process and migrate our existing configurator rules will enable us to get a fast start on using BuyDesign."

In addition to enhancing the quote-to-order process, CINCINNATI expects to use BuyDesign Configurator's advanced configuration rules and constraints capabilities to improve product standardization over time.
