About CIS Configurator
CIS Configurator is a web-based CPQ (configure, price and quote) solution that helps sales teams accelerate the overall selling process. The solution is suitable for small and midsize sales teams across various industry sectors including engineering, transport, and manufacturing. With CIS Configurator, sales personnel can have full visibility of their pricing strategy and can generate customizable quotes for their customers.
CIS Configurator is an integrated suite comprising CIS QuoteBuilder, Configurator and ModelBuilder applications. With CIS Configurator, businesses can build instant quotations for their clients based on the product quantity ordered. The software helps businesses to create multiple pricing strategies and offers options to add discounts, promotion offers, and taxes within the quotation. With the inbuilt currency converter, businesses can generate quotations in multiple currencies to meet global requirements.
CIS Configurator is capable of storing every quotation document in a centralized place for quick retrieval. Sales personnel can also attach supporting documents such as product catalogs, business agreements and invoices to the quotations prior to sharing them with customers. Businesses can establish their pricing rules in the ModelBuilder application. The tool ensures that every quotation complies with the defined standards.
CIS Configurator also offers an API for integration with existing business applications, such as ERP and CRM applications. This allows businesses to streamline the information flow and eliminate multiple data entry efforts. The solution can be hosted remotely on a third-party cloud service or can be installed on-premises.

Any issues I had while building my models in the configurator were quickly overcome with the customer service I received. CIS is consistently making the product better. I would mention that photo uploads are not tied to product or option codes meaning it is time consuming.

We migrated from an excel-based quoting system to the CIS Configurator about 3 years ago. We use this application to configure and quote complex engineering systems. The Configurator was able to handle the logic that was previously handled using complex excel formulas and look-up tables. Salespeople are able to learn the system quickly - we have over 100 users with a variety of technical and non-technical backgrounds. Overall, we're very happy with the software.
Pros
Easy to get up and running; very reliable - virtually 100% up-time in 3 years of use; excellent customer service.
Cons
As with any software, it was not always able to perfectly reproduce our legacy processes. However, we were always able to find an acceptable alternative.

Pros:
Quote Builder works as advertised. The integration of Quote Builder to Model Builder and the configurations is what sold us on the tool. Standard Quoting is Standard Quoting, but when tied to the Configurator your Sales Team are free to no longer remember Product Codes, but answer the questions and let the system resolve those questions and answers to the Products you sell. CIS has been a great partner in adding customizations to fit our needs. Whereas nothing is free in this world, their prices for customizations and changes are not out of line.
Cons:
Our only complaint has been the inability to customize our own Quote forms to fit our needs. Any changes need to go through CIS to get the forms as we need or to add new ones.

Faster quotation process.
Faster quotation process.
Pros
Easy to use, it takes you step by step, it has and does everything I need for quotation purposes and lets me convert my files in to pdf easily.
Cons
Slows down a lot some times, once you select an item and press continue or ok it takes a long time to show the next window of options, we've experience connectivity problems as well.

Hi Guillermo, Thank you for your feedback.
As you may know the ERP partner you work with had the CIS instance hosted on one of their servers connected to the ERP you use. At the request of your management, the instance was transferred to one of our production servers in Arizona and we have heard that connectivity is now as it should be and everyone is more than pleased..
Thank you once again.
Regards
Steve
