In response to requirements by customers to reduce Non-added Value Activities (NVA) we have developed off-the-shelf  productivity solutions specifically for Configure-to-Order and Engineer-to-Order businesses.  These two solutions are based upon an Enovia Rules Engine that takes input specifications and automatically generates complete BOM's, Document Packages or Parametrically Driven CAD Assemblied/parts/Drawings.  Once setup,  time spent estimating for complex products can be reduced by 90%.  Can be used by Sales Engineers interactively, or by sales staff though a simplified interface.
