Agriculture 4.0: CPQ as the key to overcoming your challenges
Agriculture is undergoing profound change. Digitalization, automation and new technologies such as precision farming and autonomous agricultural machinery are fundamentally changing the industry. At the same time, rising customer expectations, a shortage of skilled workers and the pressure for sustainability are presenting companies with major challenges. The SAE CPQ system offers a comprehensive solution for successfully mastering this change and exploiting the opportunities of Agriculture 4.0.
Flood of data in precision agriculture: turning insights into customized solutions
Precision agriculture generates enormous amounts of data. CPQ systems help to structure and analyze this flood of data in order to offer farmers tailored solutions and data-based recommendations. This enables farmers to increase their yields, use resources more efficiently and optimize their operations.
Autonomous agricultural machinery: mastering complexity, creating transparency
Autonomous agricultural machines are complex systems with a wide range of configuration options. CPQ systems support the configuration and sale of these machines by providing transparent pricing and easy selection of options. Farmers get a clear understanding of costs and features and can make informed decisions.
Electrification and alternative drives: simply configure sustainable solutions
The trend towards electrification and alternative drive systems is presenting farmers with a choice between different technologies. CPQ systems help to manage the variety of drive options and advise farmers on choosing the right technology by making the costs and environmental impact of different options transparent.
Growing product diversity: efficient management and individual configurations
The variety of products in agricultural machinery manufacturing is constantly growing. CPQ systems make it possible to manage a broad and complex product portfolio efficiently and to create individual customer configurations quickly and error-free. This speeds up the sales process and reduces sources of error.
From manufacturer to service provider: supporting new business models
New business models such as leasing or service packages are becoming increasingly important. CPQ systems support these models by enabling flexible pricing models and contract configurations. This enables companies to tap into new sources of revenue and strengthen customer loyalty.
Digital customer expectations: Interactive platform for a modern shopping experience
Farmers today expect a modern and digital shopping experience. CPQ systems offer an interactive platform for product configuration and quotation generation that meets today’s customer expectations.
Skills shortage and loss of expertise: securing and sharing knowledge
The shortage of specialists and the associated loss of expert knowledge pose a challenge. CPQ systems help to digitize valuable knowledge and make it accessible to all employees in order to ensure a consistently high quality of advice.
