Compare quotation volume, handling time and rule complexity with a realistic implementation investment.
Product configurator ROI calculator
The Product Configurator ROI calculator provides an immediate, non-binding economic estimate without requiring an email address or registration. It separates investment and recurring effects and uses documented assumptions derived from more than 250 software projects.
Use the calculator right below for an instant first estimate – no sign-up and no fixed-price commitment. We align scope, risks, and assumptions in a conversation before a binding quote.
The calculation follows six visible stages. All figures remain planning values until scope and assumptions have been reviewed.
1. Capture inputs
The calculator records the visible project, volume, complexity and operating parameters selected on this page.
2. Add fixed components
One-off investment and recurring operating components are added separately.
3. Apply multipliers
Volumes, time values and rates are multiplied where the model converts effort or incidents into monetary effects.
4. Create the range
The calculator applies its documented lower and upper uncertainty factors to the base result; ROI views keep investment and savings visible separately.
5. Round and calibrate
Monetary result fields are rounded to the nearest whole euro. Public project-cost components are calibrated with the centrally maintained display factor.
6. Classify the result
The result is shown as non-binding guidance. A binding quote requires scope, data, integrations, risks and acceptance criteria to be reviewed.
Efficiency or discount factor: A central display factor of 0.7 is applied to public project-cost components to keep all calculators aligned with the currently reviewed pricing basis. It is not a customer-specific discount; customer-entered wages, revenues and existing operating costs are not reduced.
Why this is not a binding quote: The calculator cannot verify complete requirements, third-party dependencies, data quality, legal constraints or acceptance criteria.
Product configurator ROI starts with quotation volume, handling time, and reliable product rules.
Sales and engineering should validate rules and sample quotations before the rollout grows.
Concrete project profiles with assumptions and indicative budgets—useful for internal alignment alongside the calculator.

FAQ
The calculator combines monthly quotation volume, current handling time and the automation potential of product rules.
It values only the internal quotation time you save. That keeps the result free of uncertain sales forecasts.
Many dependencies, options and exclusions force sales or engineering to check quotations again and again today.
A validated rule engine can remove more of this effort. A catalogue with only a few standard variants offers less to gain.
No.
Faster response, higher conversion and fewer invalid orders can be valuable. They still depend on the market and on sales execution. So the calculator leaves these effects out of the monthly savings.
Assess product rules and quotation flow
We review variants, approvals and target systems to define a traceable implementation scenario.
The estimate includes a rule model, user interface, quotation output and one focused CRM or ERP integration.
3D visualisation and broad pricing logic add scope on top.
You need reliable variants, exclusions, prices and approval paths.
Knowledge often sits in spreadsheets and with individual experts. Bring it together first, so the configurator cannot produce conflicting offers.
We develop Made in Germany from Leer in East Frisia.
A pilot models one representative product family first. Sales and engineering check the rules and sample quotations before the model grows.
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
The ranges shown are indicative. For a binding quote we discuss scope, priorities and funding options in a free intro call. Many digitalization projects qualify for grants – try our funding calculator.

When does the digital quotation process pay back?
Interactive estimate based on your inputs.
Non-binding project range from the software cost calculator: EUR 10,332 – 372,623 excl. VAT.
Methodology: The estimates are based on historical project data, complexity drivers and standard implementation assumptions. Results are a non-binding indication only; effort and price must be calculated individually.
If you are still deciding
If you are ready to implement
A transparent four-step process for validating the Product configurator ROI indication with concrete requirements.
1. Confirm scope and target outcome
We clarify the business outcome, user groups, and boundaries relevant to Product configurator ROI.
2. Review data, interfaces, and risks
We validate integrations, data quality, security, compliance, and operational dependencies.
3. Check the calculator assumptions
We compare the selected parameters with the real system landscape and document deviations.
4. Prepare the precise quote
You receive a scoped proposal with milestones, exclusions, price model, and next decision point.
