Configure-to-order, without the spreadsheet gymnastics.
Engsound International resells and implements apps from Insight Works, the ISV behind more than 30 Business Central add-ons for manufacturing and distribution. We focus on Product Configurator — the rule-based engine that turns option selections into accurate BOMs, routings and quotes automatically.
Product Configurator
If your products come in hundreds of possible combinations, Product Configurator lets sales staff or customers pick options through a guided interface — then generates the assembly or production BOM, routing, item data, price and weight automatically, direct inside Business Central. No parallel spreadsheet, no manual BOM building, no orders bounced back to the office for the wrong part.
It plugs straight into standard Business Central MPS and MRP, so newly configured items are planned exactly like any other item the moment they're created.
- Rule-based configuration — build validation, pricing and BOM/routing rules that stop impossible or incompatible combinations before they reach production.
- Live pricing & costing — unit price, cost and weight recalculate automatically as options are selected.
- Automatic BOM & routing generation — assembly or production BOMs and routings are created on the sales order or quote, no manual entry.
- Bulk Configuration Builder — set up and maintain large option sets efficiently, including context-aware rules and inherited sub-configuration values.
- MPS/MRP integration — configured items plan correctly through Business Central's standard planning engine from day one.
- Developer-extensible — APIs, events and procedures for teams that need the rule engine to match a specific business process.
From option list to production-ready order.
The same configuration logic runs whether it's your sales team quoting or a customer self-configuring.
Choose base product
Start from a configurable item or template on the quote or sales order.
Select options
Guided choices, with rules hiding anything incompatible with earlier selections.
Validate & price
Rules confirm the build is valid; price, cost and weight update live.
Generate BOM & routing
Assembly or production BOM and routing are created automatically.
Plan & produce
The configured item flows straight into standard MPS/MRP planning.
Fulfil & ship
Once produced, the order picks, packs and ships like any standard sales order — fully traceable back to its original configuration.
