Revolutionizing Roller Conveyor Configurator with 3D CPQ Software
Plantec Maschinen GmbH partnered with Konfigear to transform the way industrial roller conveyor systems are designed, visualized, and sold. Leveraging Konfigear’s 3D CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) platform, Plantec introduced an automated configurator that delivers precise designs, real-time pricing, and faster quoting — empowering engineers and sales teams to deliver highly customized industrial machines with efficiency and confidence.

The Story of Plantec Maschinen
Plantec Maschinen GmbH is a leading German manufacturer of industrial machines and conveyor systems for manufacturing and logistics sectors. With a strong focus on engineering precision and customization, Plantec sought to modernize its configuration and quotation process using 3D CPQ technology to stay ahead in a competitive industrial market.
The Product
Plantec’s product line includes modular roller conveyor systems, heavy-duty conveyors, and industrial automation equipment. Each system requires careful configuration to fit customer-specific layouts, payload requirements, and operational constraints — making automation in configuration a natural next step.
The Challenge
Before the 3D configurator, designing and pricing custom roller conveyor systems was a time-intensive and manual process. Engineers and sales teams had to collaborate closely on every detail — from material specifications to assembly layout — which slowed down quotes and left room for human error.
“We needed a solution that would simplify complex configurations while maintaining precision. The goal was to reduce quote time and give customers real-time visibility into what they were designing and purchasing.”

The Solution: Industrial Roller Conveyor Configurator
Konfigear implemented a full 3D CPQ configurator for Plantec Maschinen, designed to handle complex industrial machinery configurations with intuitive controls and rule-based logic. The configurator enables real-time visualization, pricing automation, and error-free quoting — turning a traditionally manual process into a digital, scalable workflow.
- Advanced configuration engine allowing precise customization of roller conveyor components
- Real-time 3D visualization for layout and design verification
- Automated Bill of Materials (BOM) and pricing generation
- Instant quote creation for faster customer response times
- Seamless integration between engineering and sales teams through the CPQ platform
The Results
The deployment of Konfigear’s CPQ configurator revolutionized Plantec Maschinen’s workflow. The company achieved significant gains in productivity, accuracy, and sales efficiency while delivering a more interactive experience for its industrial customers.
- 70% reduction in time required for generating custom quotes
- Enhanced accuracy in configurations and BOM generation
- Streamlined collaboration between engineering and sales teams
- Improved customer satisfaction with real-time visualization and faster responses
“The configurator brought a new level of efficiency to our operation. What used to take hours now takes minutes — and our customers appreciate being part of the configuration process in real time.”
