trIMIt Product Configuration reduces the number of BoMs significantly, due to the use of master BoMs and generic item BoMs, making it very simple to create and maintain BoMs. the formula calculator is a tool that con-trols the BoM creation, by using logical expressions for calculating, routing, material- and time consumption, etc. this tool enables you to set up all the necessary conditi-ons in order to control what can and cannot be configured. this way, your sales persons can only configure what you allow them to, which minimizes errors remarkably, and by using the configuration all relevant specifications for both production and purchase are generated automatically. this moreover, reduces the bottlenecks that often occur when handling special orders and gives you a very quick turnaround on orders.
trIMIt Product Configuration combines calculation of actual prices and standard cost prices. the prices are
When working with production of customizable products, creation and handling of BOM (Bill of Material) is often very comprehensive and time consuming.
Furthermore, if the BOM is not correct, detailed and updated it will inevitably result in numerous errors in both material consumption and cost calculation.

continous all the way from supplier order through BoM to the sales lines, giving all involved employees a complete overview over the prices, costs and contribution margins of all products.
Furthermore, trIMIt Product Configuration automati-cally recalculates and deletes orders, which means that cancellation of orders removes all related orders, prices etc. while adjustments of orders lead to an automatic recalculation of everything involved in the order. this way reducing time spent on errors and bottlenecks remarkably.
trIMIt Production is fully integrated with your entire erP-system making it possible to calculate cost- and sales prices in the moment of configuration. this improves customer service significantly as customers get answers to e.g. price requests instantly.

HigH tecH
Being part of the High tech Industry, whether you’re buil-ding innovative High-tech products, integrating solutions into customers’ systems or assembling bundles for new applications and markets, speed is paramount to capture and keep a competitive advantage. Furthermore, the range of High tech products becomes more and more complex, while production processes are changing and the product life cycle is shortened. At the same time, customers demand higher speed of delivery, increased flexibility, customized products, high quality, and all this at competitive prices.
trIMIt Product Configuration & Manufacturing on Microsoft Dynamics nAV has made it very simple to control individual item properties in the order stage, and moreover, the solution gives you complete control of allowable configurations in accordance with discounts, price lists, currency etc. this way you always get precise estimates on prices, availability, time of delivery etc. trIMIt Product Configuration & Manufacturing offers a very high degree of flexibility and agility, improving your adaptability to change remarkably.Furthermore, even though the BoM (Bill of Material) in High tech companies often is very complex, trIMIt makes it simple and easy to create and maintain this by using logical statements.
industry knowledgeWhat is Product Configuration & Manufacturing? There isn’t really an easy answer to this question. Howe-ver, our customers since 1991 can more or less be categorized into the three areas high tech, industrial equipment manufacturing & metal fabrication.
the BoM makes information on the entire production process visible, thus offering complete coherence in all parts of the value chain from sales order through related production orders to purchase of materials.

industrial equipment manufacturing
Industrial equipment manufacturing refers to manufac-turers of large machinery that are often built by numerous different components, delivered by a number of different suppliers. Furthermore, often customers have a very large number of specific demands to the products they have ordered.
trIMIt Product Configuration & Manufacturing makes it much simpler to configure complex, customer specific products. With this system you gain complete control of all different variants and dimensions, and with the configura-tion tool, you can easily set up configuration rules in order to avoid configuration errors , thus saving a lot of time and resources correcting product errors or even confiscating wrong products.

Furthermore, trIMIt Data Capture offers real-time data of all processes within the entire production flow. this way, you get total overview of all processes, and can identify exactly, what processes are not making a profit. this way, you can concentrate on optimizing these specific proces-ses in order to save time and money.
In trIMIt Product Configuration & Manufacturing sales-, purchase and production orders are related, which e.g. means that the system automatically controls and sends orders to all relevant suppliers. Furthermore, tracing makes it possible to know exactly, where and for what every little component needs to be used. this way, you have constant control over all components and the deli-very of these.

metal faBrication
Metal Fabrication refers to companies, mainly subcon-tractors that cut, shape and assemble components. Furthermore, these companies often concentrate on metal preparation, welding and assembly aspects or ma-chining of parts.
Being able to control and calculate a product’s actual pro-duction cost is extremely important to companies within this area, because this is what determines the company’s contribution margin. Doing the right calculations is com-plex and very time consuming, and because of this it is often not done properly, which very frequently results in miscalculations.
Another key factor within the area of metal fabrication is continuous production optimization. every little delay or
deviation in the production process count in the perpetual attempt to produce the agreed components with as little resources as possible and deliver these to the customer within the agreed time frame.
trIMIt Product Configuration & Manufacturing makes all the exacting calculation work for you. the pre- and post-calculation enables you to make pre –calculations on time and materials and post-calculations on time and proces-ses.
Furthermore, trIMIt Datacapture offers real-time data on all processes within the entire production flow. this way, you get total overview of all processes, and know exactly, where to take action and optimize processes in order to save time and money.
