Engineer‑to‑Order ROI
See how rule‑driven design automation slashes quote‑to‑cash by 50 % and pays back in 12 months.
Custom equipment builders regularly spend 60–80 % of engineering capacity on orders that differ only 10 % from previous jobs. Rulestream’s engineer‑to‑order (ETO) automation turns that overhead into margin.
Why Traditional ETO Hurts
Manual sizing and Excel BOMs slow quoting cycles.
Engineering bottlenecks push delivery dates.
Tribal knowledge walks out the door with senior staff.
Rulestream in Action
Config‑price‑quote (CPQ) to CAD/BOM – Customers configure online; valid options generate 3D models, drawings and cost instantly.
Rule‑based calculations – Sizing, clearances and compliance checks run automatically.
Closed‑loop to ERP – Approved orders push clean BOMs and routings straight into SAP or Oracle.
KPI Gains
