Configure One Covers Libart's Needs
Libart Enclosure Systems Selects Leading Product Configurator to Provide New Capabilities to its Distribution Network

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OAK BROOK, IL – [May 26, 2010]– Configure One™ www.configureone.com, a leading provider of web-based product configurator and electronic catalog software, today announced that Libart Enclosure Systems—a leading designer and manufacturer of retractable pool, patio enclosures, and retractable roofing systems—selected Configure One’s Concept Enterprise Product Configurator® to improve its service to its distribution network.

Libart Enclosure Systems is an innovative design, manufacturing and marketing company that provides unique architectural solutions to residential, commercial and industrial customers looking for indoor and outdoor spaces in the same area, outdoor swimming pools, retractable patios, outdoor venues in restaurant and café’s, industrial solutions for machine enclosures and retractable clean rooms.

Libart sells in over 17 countries and needed to improve its service to its distribution network, especially regarding the lead time to create drawings and quotations. “Currently, the quotation process takes two to three days,” said Chris Stover, operations manager. “Our goal with this project is to automate the drawing creation, and dramatically reduce the time it takes to produce a quotation."

To address these needs Libart has selected Configure One’s Concept Enterprise Product Configurator software solution to replace its homegrown price quotation system and generate drawings and quotations automatically.

According to Stover, a web-based solution and integration to SolidWorks®, Libart’s CAD system were essential requirements. “The fact that Configure One is a SolidWorks Application Partner and provided standard integration was a key factor in our decision. We didn’t want to have to build a custom interface. In our North American location we use NetSuite® as our ERP system. Configure One also has standard integration to NetSuite, and that was an added bonus.”

“We are finding more and more companies are looking for standard integration to the leading CAD, ERP, and CRM systems,” said Chris DiEllo, Configure One’s director of eastern region. “We realize that in many cases Configure One is only part of an overall software solution. To eliminate the challenges associated with custom integration projects, Configure One has taken the lead to develop standard integration to many of the leading CAD, ERP, and CRM systems.”

Stover expects big benefits from implementing Configure One. “First, we expect to dramatically reduce the time it takes to get quotations and drawings to our customers, by providing our dealers with the online capabilities to create those documents instantaneously. Second, we plan to implement on-demand manufacturing drawings. If we can complete the manufacturing drawings in days instead of weeks, we will save a lot of time internally enabling us to manage labor and materials more effectively.”
