From Experlogix, Inc. based in Santa Barbara, California, USA, comes Experlogix.
Experlogix has been able to create what has become a substantial add-on based around targeted selling, and the configuration of intelligent workflow. This is because of the comprehensive configuration solution coupled with the highest calibre of integration to Dynamics GP. Through this add-on it is possible for the development of Dynamics GP to become more of a standalone tool through its set of parameters Experlogix combines with Dynamics GP to form a powerful engineering and product management system, automating bill-of-materials (BOMs), manufacturing orders, costing and routing.
Dynamics GP users receive immediate colour-coded feedback after each configuration choice is made. Guided selling with up-sell and cross-sell options, quantity availability, product images and more provide a rich user experience during the quote/order production process. Sophisticated pricing algorithms, discounting costing, profit margins and shipping weight are also provided in real-time.
Having been developed on the .Net / SQL Server platform to match Dynamics GP there is a seamless integration between Experlogix and Dynamics GP and through the enhancement of this integration it has been possible to ensure that the add-on can work off-line with no drop in latency and increasing the potential for the most up to date data capture by allowing records and information to be captured immediately without the need for web connectivity.
The main strength of Experlogix is that in residing on the Dynamics GP server it is not restricted by any previous customisations, and is not hampered by having to be installed on a “clean” database. This allows for a complete customisation to exist if desired, where any fields can be controlled or altered allowing you to utilise records in different ways to ensure the best starting place to track clients and data allocation.
It is the theme of flexibility that pervades throughout Experlogix, it is shown to greater effect with the opportunity to maintain your products through Experlogix as opposed to through the Product Catalogue, and the add-on can be used to retrieve real-time product items, fields, pricing, etc with much more accuracy and a higher confidence in the synchronisation of the data.
The complexity of Experlogix has been something which has been to its advantage showing it to be highly regarded by larger organisations, who have taken the opportunity to fully develop it, as well as taking advantage of the superior customer support options.
The Experlogix Configurator launches directly within Dynamics GP and accepts configurations created in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Experlogix experience in creating a CRM add-on is the reason for the increased integration and the ability for such flexibility can only enhance both products.
