From Variants to Configurations: Master the Complexity
If your products have multiple options, features, or regional adaptations, managing them in a traditional ERP quickly becomes a nightmare.
factory.online supports configurable product models, so you can define once and sell infinitely — without duplicating your data or BOMs.
Who Needs This?
Machinery manufacturers with custom modules (e.g. camera, GPS, battery)
Cable factories producing region-specific standards
Any company with optional features, finishes, or specs
How It Works
Item Classes & Product Groups
Define the "type" of product: e.g. Drone, Cable, Machine
Each class includes relevant characteristics
Configurable Characteristics
Example: Camera = [Standard, Night, Thermal]
Example: Battery = [4S, 6S]
Example: GPS = [Yes, No]
Matrix BOMs
One BOM includes all possible parts
Constraints define when to include which item
e.g. If Battery = 6S → use Battery_6S component
Automatic Code Generation
System builds unique item codes and names for each combination
No need to manually create every variant
Benefits
Zero duplication of BOMs
Clear structure for complex products
Sales and engineering stay aligned
From 10 variants to 10,000 combinations — we make it manageable.
