The topic of sus\u00adtaina\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty is on ever\u00adyo\u00adne\u2019s lips and is not only play\u00ading an incre\u00adasing\u00adly important role in the manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adring indus\u00adtry. A CPQ solu\u00adti\u00adon or a pro\u00adduct con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adtor can make a signi\u00adfi\u00adcant con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adti\u00adon to opti\u00admi\u00adsing the resour\u00adces used and brin\u00adging sus\u00adtainable aspects of pro\u00adduct vari\u00adants to the fore. Even legal requi\u00adre\u00adments such as CO2 label\u00adling can be met by a CPQ-solu\u00adti\u00adon.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The com\u00admon view of using a pro\u00adduct con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon to accu\u00adra\u00adte\u00adly crea\u00adte the pro\u00adduct vari\u00adant that meets the cus\u00adto\u00admer\u2019s wis\u00adhes and requi\u00adre\u00adments is that the sales depart\u00adment does not make any mista\u00adkes, so that the quo\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon pro\u00adcess is opti\u00admi\u00adsed and effi\u00adci\u00adent. This aspect has some\u00adthing to do with sus\u00adtaina\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty if, for exam\u00adp\u00adle, the sales staff do not have to tra\u00advel to the pro\u00ads\u00adpec\u00adti\u00adve cus\u00adto\u00admer as often and the dura\u00adti\u00adon of the quo\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon pha\u00adse is also opti\u00admi\u00adsed. Howe\u00adver, issues such as incor\u00adrect orders, faul\u00adty pro\u00adduc\u00adtion and even incor\u00adrect deli\u00advery can also be avo\u00adided by using a CPQ solu\u00adti\u00adon.

If the sup\u00adpli\u00ader uses spe\u00adcial offers in its sales (such as appli\u00adances with an exten\u00added dis\u00adcount), sales staff should be infor\u00admed quick\u00adly about such pro\u00admo\u00adti\u00adons.
