Variant Management

Structured Variant Management is the foundation for efficiently managing products with a great variety of features and combinations. The CSB-System enables companies to portray their product variants in the system to support control and the integration into all relevant processes. 

Centralized mapping of product and variant structures

In the CSB-System, you can methodically represent products with different variants, properties, and attributes. Variants are managed centrally and clearly defined, so that all business areas can access consistent product information.  

Integration into Production, Calculation and Sales

Information on variants is available in downstream processes, such as production planning, the recipe and BOM logic, calculation, or order entry. Any changes of the variants apply system-wide and are automatically considered in all relevant processes. 

Managing complexity and variant diversity

The CSB-System supports reliable control of growing variant diversity, also for individualized products or industry-specific requirements. This allows the standardization of processes without curbing the necessary adaptability of product ranges. 

Unified database for evaluations

All variant and product information is based on a central database. Evaluations of sales, costs, margins, or production volumes can be based on variants to support informed decisions. 

Key advantages

  • Structured management of complex product and variant structures
  • Complete integration into Production, Calculation, and Sales
  • Reducing complexity amid growing product varieties
