Builder Configurator

Revolutionizing Sales and Customer Experience with Intelligent Configuration

In today's competitive landscape, the ability to deliver precise, personalized solutions at speed is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. Businesses are grappling with increasingly complex product catalogs and customer demands, often slowed down by manual processes and rigid systems.  

At Builder Configurator, we understand these challenges, and we're ushering in a new era of intelligent configuration with our groundbreaking Configurator Agent.

Product Configuration is undergoing a profound transformation through the integration of agentic artificial intelligence (AI). This synergy moves beyond traditional rule-based automation to embrace autonomous, intelligent configuration capabilities. By leveraging BuilderChain platform, our Configurator Agent is enhancing its ability to deliver personalized product suggestions, optimize pricing, streamline complex approval workflows, and empower sales teams with real-time, data-driven recommendations. This convergence promises significant improvements in sales efficiency, accuracy, and revenue growth, while fundamentally reshaping the customer experience and the operational dynamics of sales organizations.  

This isn't just another tool; it's a paradigm shift. Our Configurator Agent leverages the power of agentic artificial intelligence to transform how your sales teams operate and how your customers experience customization.

Setting the Stage: The Critical Role of Agentic Product Configuration in Modern Sales

In today's dynamic business environment, the ability to rapidly and accurately configure complex products and services is paramount for sales success. Our Configurator Agent serves as a vital cloud-based sales tool designed to provide precise pricing across a multitude of product configuration scenarios. Its fundamental purpose is to automate the quoting process, thereby significantly reducing manual data entry, minimizing errors, and empowering sales teams to concentrate on cultivating customer relationships and closing deals.

Our Configurator Agent is specifically engineered to streamline the management of product compatibility and validation through the application of actionable configuration rules. This functionality allows for the creation of flexible product bundles, enabling sales representatives to search for and add qualified products in real-time, fostering the development of customized sales packages.

Moreover, the configurator supports the inclusion of currency and percentage attributes, accurately reflecting real-world values such as discounts and fees, ensuring precision in financial calculations. These capabilities are essential for managing intricate product offerings and maintaining accuracy in sales proposals.

The robust, structured environment provided by the BuilderChain platform, with its predefined rules, validation logic, and comprehensive data capture, establishes an indispensable foundation for the effective integration of autonomous AI. Without a well-defined and consistently managed product catalog and configuration logic, advanced AI systems would lack the necessary guardrails and reliable data to operate accurately and autonomously.

Consequently, the capabilities of our Configurator Agent are not merely features but a critical enabling factor that allows agentic AI to be deployed reliably and at scale, providing the structured context within which the AI can learn, reason, and act.

Empowering Your Sales Representatives: The Intelligent Co-Pilot

Imagine a sales process where every representative, regardless of experience, performs like your top earner. Our Configurator Agent makes this a reality by acting as an intelligent co-pilot, providing real-time, data-driven insights and automating the most intricate aspects of configuration:

Precision and Speed: Say goodbye to manual errors and endless back-and-forth. The Configurator Agent ensures every quote is accurate and complete, dramatically accelerating quote generation and reducing approval times. Your team can respond to customer inquiries in minutes, not days.

Streamlining Complex Product Offerings: The configurator simplifies the process of quoting highly complex products with numerous options and dependencies, which is particularly valuable in industries like manufacturing, high-tech, and telecommunications.

Reducing Errors and Ensuring Accuracy: By enforcing product compatibility rules and pricing guidelines, the platform significantly minimizes human errors and maintains consistency across all customer segments.

Accelerating Quote Generation: The automated capabilities of the Product Configurator lead to significantly faster quote generation, with companies reporting up to 10X faster quote creation. This speed is crucial for faster deal closure.

Reduced Approval Times: AI integration leads to a dramatic 95% reduction in approval times, transforming a major bottleneck into a seamless process and allowing deals to progress much faster.

Increased Deal Sizes: Companies have observed a 70% growth in deal sizes, directly attributed to AI's ability to deliver personalized recommendations, identify upsell opportunities, and tailor quotes to each customer's unique context.

Higher Win Rates: A significant 76% of professionals attribute higher win rates to AI-powered tools within CPQ. By guiding sales representatives with data-driven insights and dynamic product configurations, AI improves quote accuracy and customer alignment, ultimately boosting close rates.

Faster Onboarding for New Sales Reps: AI-driven guided selling and automated processes contribute to a 30% faster onboarding time for new sales representatives, allowing them to become productive much more quickly.

Significant Reduction in Admin Errors: AI-powered rule generation and validation minimize human errors in pricing and product configuration, leading to greater accuracy and consistency across all quotes.

Increased Productivity: Actionable configuration rules increase sales productivity by automating tasks and reducing manual effort.

Optimized Product Configurations: Pre-configured product bundles and rule-based configurations ensure that customers receive complete solutions that are compatible and meet their needs, reducing post-sale issues.  Leveraging advanced AI, the agent analyzes historical sales data, customer behavior, and market trends to suggest the most profitable product configurations and bundles. This includes dynamic pricing guidance and intelligent cross-sell/upsell opportunities, leading to significantly increased deal sizes and higher win rates.

Higher Customer Retention and Brand Trust: Consistent pricing, accurate quotes, and streamlined processes contribute to improved customer satisfaction and loyalty, building stronger brand trust.
 
Effortless Rule Management: Complex product rules are no longer a bottleneck. Our agent automates rule generation and allows non-technical users to define configurations using natural language, freeing up your technical teams for more strategic work and enabling sales to operate with unprecedented agility.

Intelligent Guided Selling: The Configurator Agent transforms traditional guided selling into a dynamic, intelligent coaching system. It provides tailored recommendations and real-time pricing guidance, ensuring that every solution perfectly aligns with customer needs and empowering new hires to become trusted advisors faster.

These features, while not AI-driven in the autonomous agent sense, provide a structured, error-minimizing, and efficient environment. This pre-existing intelligence is crucial because it means agentic AI is not starting from a chaotic, manual baseline but rather augmenting an already robust and logically defined system.

This foundation ensures that the AI has reliable data and established processes to learn from and enhance, making the integration of autonomous agents more feasible and reliable. The configurator's inherent capabilities act as a stable platform for the next wave of AI.

Furthermore, the comprehensive nature of the  Configurator Agent—managing complex rules, bundles, dynamic pricing, and custom fields —continuously generates a rich, structured dataset. This "digital exhaust" includes every successful configuration, pricing adjustment, discount application, and approval step. This continuous stream of high-quality, real-world sales data is invaluable for training and refining AI agents. It provides the historical context and patterns that AI needs to learn, predict optimal outcomes, and generate personalized recommendations.

This creates a powerful, self-improving feedback loop, where the configurator's operations directly fuel the intelligence and accuracy of the agentic AI, enabling continuous learning and adaptation.

Core Functionalities of Salesforce Product Configurator

The Product Configurator offers several key features that empower sales teams:

Actionable Configuration Rules: The configurator enables users to manage product compatibility and validation through sophisticated rules. These rules can automatically add or remove products, set product quantities, specify attribute values, and display informative messages to sales representatives. Enhanced functionality allows for rules with up to three conditions, three actions, and eight sub-conditions, which significantly simplifies complex product configuration, reduces potential errors, and streamlines the entire sales process.

Flexible and Dynamic Sales Packages (Bundling): Sales representatives can construct flexible and customized sales packages by searching for and adding qualified products to a bundle in real-time. The system also permits the addition of the same product multiple times, each with a unique name-attribute identifier, offering granular control over package customization. Configurator bundles are defined as groups of individual products or services sold together, offering benefits such as cost savings, convenience, customization, accurate configurations, and pricing transparency. Configurable bundles provide a higher degree of customization while maintaining constraints to prevent incompatible selections.

Enhanced Product Configuration with Additional Data Types: To accurately reflect real-world values, the Product Configurator supports currency and percentage attributes for elements like discounts and fees. These data types are consistently supported across the Configurator Flow, Configurator UI, and Headless API, ensuring smooth data intake and consistent calculations.

Custom Field and Field Mapping Support: Revenue Lifecycle Management, which encompasses the Product Configurator, offers robust support for custom field mapping. This capability extends to critical operations such as quote creation, order creation, asset creation, asset update, and contract creation. Businesses can add custom fields to Revenue Lifecycle Management objects to align with their specific business goals and map these fields between objects throughout the transaction lifecycle, enhancing service adaptability and utility for sales representatives.

Guided Selling: A powerful feature within the Configurator Agent, guided selling employs carefully designed prompts to lead sales representatives step-by-step through the sales process. This automation ensures that the final product configuration aligns perfectly with customer needs, reducing errors and accelerating the sales cycle. Guided selling also leverages AI-driven recommendations for upsells and cross-sells, potentially increasing deal sizes. It is particularly beneficial for new hires, enabling them to quickly become top performers and trusted advisors.

Dynamic Pricing and Discounting: The platform dynamically calculates and recalculates prices for configurable products in real-time, providing instant pricing feedback to sales representatives. It also offers comprehensive capabilities for managing discounts at both the quote and line-item levels, adhering to pre-set customer agreements and company policies.

Product Catalog Management: The Configurator Agent provides an intuitive interface for users to search, filter, sort, and select items to be added to a quote with minimal effort.

Quote Document Generation and Customization: Once a product is configured and finalized, the platform automatically generates branded estimates, proposals, and quotes. These documents include detailed product descriptions, pricing, terms, conditions, and visuals, available in various formats (PDF, XLS, Word).11 Users can further customize these documents with comments, cover letters, and supporting materials to tailor them to specific customer preferences
