CONFIGURABLE PRODUCTS EXPLAINED
- Configurable products are products that are made up of either parts, colours or materials
- Products are usually created from a range of pre-determined options loaded onto a template
- To sell configurable products online it is essential to have both a preview tool to visualise your product and automatic generation of a parts list for manufacturing
- It is also important that online users can only ever create product combinations that can actually be produced
- For configurable products having a simple intuitive user interface for product visualisation is mission critical

The Importance of Automated Pick Lists
Having a great front end configuration tool is only half the story – it is also essential that your website can create either a component pick list, manufacturing instructions or print ready artwork. Fortunately our PERSONALISE-iT App covers all these options. Each order can generate print ready artwork, display a component list and even auto generate component picking lists to help make production faster
