“Config2AR is powerful because it allows sales teams utilizing Atlatl VCPQ to share the end configuration in a 3D view with anyone. Now a customer can work with their sales rep to configure a product on one coast, and instantly enable a colleague on the other coast to view the proposed configuration in real space. This creates an ability for collaborative feedback ensuring accuracy and satisfaction for the purchase,” says Marc Murphy, CEO at Atlatl Software.

Sales Reps can now configure complex manufactured products with the QuoteBooks Visual CPQ platform, creating a configurable quote with a BOM, Sales Approval Drawings, and an augmented reality representation to create a holistic experience and understanding of the value of the product being quoted.

“Manufacturing sales teams can now offer more than just a BOM (Bill-of-Materials) as our tool creates Sales Approval Drawings as well. What really sets this experience apart is the new ability to add an QR code to their proposals, allowing anyone to see the configured product in 3D augmented reality on their own device, to scale in a real world environment. This creates a shared experience and a chance for collaboration during the quoting process for anyone from an engineer to the CEO,” says Jennifer Letourneau, Director of Product at Atlatl Software.

Manufacturers work with the Atlatl Team to define their products artwork and rules to create the interactive configuration experience used by their sales channel. Once on-board the VCPQ platform, the Atlatl Config2AR^™ feature brings quotes to life.  Users simply download the Config2AR^TM app from the iTunes store, scan the QR code, and can view the 3D configuration in augmented reality.

Atlatl’s fully integrated QuoteBooks Cloud is the only platform built specifically for the manufacturer-dealer/distributor relationship. QuoteBooks Cloud combines interactive 3D configuration with CPQ functionality and now AR capabilities to create a manufacturing-specific sales ecosystem.
