Configuration Agent

Product configuration and variant selection for every customer requirement.

Nobody knows eleven thousand variants. Pass on the requirement (from a call, an email or a scribbled note), and Genow finds the fit in your product catalogue, checks it against your rules, and explains why it holds.

What changes

Out of the whole portfolio, the one variant that fits.

Without Genow

No rep knows the whole catalogue. So people sell the five articles they remember, the better, often higher-margin solution gets overlooked, and anything unusual becomes a ticket for the one scarce expert. The customer waits.

With Genow

Put the requirement in, get the match back: valid, buildable, explained. From data sheets, your options database and your price lists. And when context is genuinely missing, the agent asks the expert instead of guessing.

Use cases

The right solution without asking engineering first.

Typical situations where finding and validating the configuration is the actual work, not the paperwork after it.

A vague customer enquiry

Turn a rough description into an ordered requirement list.

A large or unfamiliar portfolio

Search every series and option, not just the corner you sell often.

Before the quote goes out

Check approvals, rules and combinations while there is still time.

When engineering is the bottleneck

Hand product management a finished proposal to confirm.

How it works

From the customer requirement to a configuration that holds.

You do not have to write a specification first. A rough description from the call is enough to start.

  1. 01

    Turn the talk into requirements

    A voice note, an email thread or a spec sheet becomes an ordered list: medium, pressure, dimensions, standards, quantities, dates, including what was only implied.

  2. 02

    Search the whole catalogue

    Across series, options and accessories, not just by part number, and not just the corner of the portfolio you happen to sell often.

  3. 03

    Check it against the rules

    Which options exclude each other, which approval is missing, what is not permitted in this zone. Your configuration logic decides, not the language model.

  4. 04

    Explain why it fits

    You get the match, the alternatives and the open points, each with its reason and its source. If nothing fits, Genow says so.

As a widget

Your customers find the solution faster and easier.

The same agent, embedded as a chat widget on your website. Visitors say in one sentence what they need and get the product that fits, instead of working their way through categories, filters and data sheets.

  • No filter maze. Nobody has to learn your category tree first. A sentence in the customer's own words is the entire interface.
  • One answer, not forty hits. The visitor gets the variant that fits their conditions, with the reason and the data sheet behind it.
  • It asks instead of guessing. When something decisive is missing, the widget asks the one question that settles it, the way a good salesperson would.
  • The enquiry arrives qualified. The conversation carries the requirement into your CRM, so your team picks up a lead that already knows what it wants.
  • Your brand, your rules. Your look, your domain, your tone, and only the products, prices and documents you release for it.

Fewer visitors leave with nothing. Someone who would have given up in the product filter now leaves with a product, a reason and a request for a quote. That is the shortest route from a website visit to an order, and it works at three in the morning too.

Data sources

Your catalogue is more than a list of part numbers.

Product knowledge sits in data sheets, price lists, configurators and drawings. Genow works with all of it.

Products and series

From standard article to custom build, including successors and discontinued models.

Variants and options

Versions, materials, connections, accessories, and which of them can actually be combined.

Rules and dependencies

Engineering, approval and commercial rules as a hard condition, not as a suggestion.

Standards and approvals

ATEX, pressure ratings, material releases, country approvals, checked before the quote goes out.

Prices and lead times

Valid price list, customer discount, volume tier, and whether the delivery date still holds.

Your experts

When the data genuinely does not answer it, the agent asks a human instead of inventing one.

In practice

From customer need to product fit.

One enquiry, carried through to the end. Every line traces back to its source: data sheet, price list, rule set.

  • The requirement stays visible. Every line shows which customer request it satisfies, and which one is still open.
  • Conflicts get named. When two requests exclude each other, the agent says which and why, instead of quietly favouring one side.
  • Alternatives come along. The second-best variant, the faster delivery, the cheaper version: as an option, not as a decision made for you.
  • Ready to hand over. Prices and delivery week come with the configuration, so it goes straight into the quote without retyping.
Reliability

Every proposal is rule based and traceable.

Your rules decide

The agent never proposes anything your rule set forbids. The logic comes from your systems, not from an estimate.

Nothing gets invented

If no variant fits, the agent says so and names the requirement it fails on.

Always the valid version

Current price list, current revision, current approval. Discontinued articles are flagged as such.

Traceable to the source

Every figure points at the document or system it came from, verifiable in one click.
