Abstract
Computerized systems and methods are disclosed for automating Configure to Order (CTO) and Quote to Order (QTO) processes. Methods include receiving user inputs for desired product configurations, retrieving corresponding data from a bill of materials database, and calculating optimized pricing through intelligent rules based on real-time market data. Automated quotes are generated and transferred to orders in a vendor system, selected based on pre-set criteria like vendor reputation and delivery time. Validation steps reduce errors, and real-time reports are generated. The system integrates a Real-Time Data Mesh for data aggregation, a Single Pane of Glass User Interface for user interactions, and Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning Modules for implementing rule-based and learning algorithms. The system is accessible across various devices and standardizes data for uniform consumption, while also employing machine learning models to continually optimize processes. Notifications are sent to users upon successful execution of orders or completion of quotes.
