A BOM is a structured list of all the parts that go into a product.
If a product can be configured, there is not one but multiple possible BOMs (variants). Even basic window, door, or skylight products have hundreds to thousands of variants due to the number of configurations that you can make (height, width, glass, finishes, hardware, accessories).
This is why most established ERP and quoting softwares are so complicated and difficult to use. In a BOM-based quoting solution, your team has to know the different product configuration possibilities to actually build a quote. If they do have that detailed knowledge, it takes hours to actually produce a quote. And when that person leaves your company, they take all of that specialized knowledge with them. This process is inefficient and it creates dependencies that threaten your business.
With FlexCost, those problems evaporate. Our platform is easy to use with minimal training. And thanks to our machine-learning based pricing model, we uncouple BOMs from the pricing process, so you can focus on sales.
