Agriculture 4.0: CPQ as the key to overcoming your challenges

Agriculture is undergoing profound change. Digitalisation, 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 labour 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 utilising the opportunities of Agriculture 4.0.

A flood of data in precision agriculture: turning insights into customised solutions

Precision agriculture generates enormous amounts of data. CPQ systems help to structure and analyse 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 optimise their operations.

Autonomous agricultural machinery: mastering complexity, creating transparency

Autonomous agricultural machinery are complex systems with a multitude of configuration options. CPQ systems support the configuration and sale of these machines by enabling transparent pricing and a simple selection of options. Farmers thus gain a clear understanding of costs and functions and can make informed decisions.

Electrification and alternative drives: Configuring sustainable solutions easily

The trend towards electrification and alternative drives 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 customised configurations

Product diversity in agricultural machinery is constantly growing. CPQ systems make it possible to manage a broad and complex product portfolio efficiently and create customised customer configurations quickly and error-free. This speeds up the sales process and reduces sources of error.

From manufacturer to service provider: New business models support

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 skills shortage and the associated loss of expert knowledge pose a challenge. CPQ systems help to digitise valuable knowledge and make it accessible to all employees in order to ensure a consistently high quality of advice.
