Automating order engineering
for complex products

Knowledge Bridge accelerates order engineering and processing. At the same time, it dramatically increases the reliability and quality of the information that’s sent to your production facilities. The result? Quickly satisfied customers.

Typical order engineering cycle and questions without Knowledge Bridge automation

A typical order engineering cycle for complex, configurable products is optimized and made better through the use of kBridge's rules-driven configuration power.

Knowledge Bridge answers these questions as it speeds the order engineering process

CONTINUITY FROM QUOTE THROUGH ORDER TO INSTALATION
Knowledge Bridge makes complex product configuration faster and more accurate, from initial quote to onsite delivery.
With Knowledge Bridge, configuration is done correctly from the start

A Knowledge Bridge configuration is correct right from the beginning. Quotes are built from valid engineering. When the order is landed and it's time to get to work, there is a solid foundation of information ready to drive order engineering, purchasing, production planning, fabrication, and beyond.


With Knowledge Bridge, companies avoid expensive and time-consuming duplication of effort as well as automating and speeding their order engineering and processing.

​

Keep surprises out of the order process with kBridge.

As a cloud-based configuration system, Knowledge Bridge is immediately scalable and ready to meet the demands of your growing business.
INCREASED ORDER DEMANDS? INSTANTLY SCALE-UP TO MEET THEM
With kBridge, order processing is based on engineering knowledge, and not constrained by engineering resources

You don't have to worry about backlogs when order volume increases. Knowledge Bridge automates the order engineering process, and scales-up to meet additional demands. Plus, cloud-based kBridge lets you scale your engineering to meet additional demands without adding a single resource.

By eliminating many sources of errors, Knowledge Bridge increases product configuration quality and accuracy.
REDUCE ORDER PROCESSING COST WHILE INCREASING QUALITY, SPEED & EFFICIENCY
For many of our customers, the improvements related to cost-of-quality are sufficient to justify the entire system

What's the cost to fix an error in a quote once an order is underway? To revise fabrication after it’s underway? To implement a change after the product has shipped… or worse yet, once the product has been installed? Knowledge Bridge can reduce or eliminate costs related to incorrectly processed orders and poor quality as it dramatically improves efficiency and speed.

By ensuring that all required configuration information is captured in an order, Knowledge Bridge ensures a smooth transition from engineering to manufacturing.
DON'T LET PRODUCTION BECOME A HOSTAGE TO INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION
With Knowledge Bridge, you capture critical configuration and customer specification data at the point of sale

A configuration app driven by Knowledge Bridge ensures that all critical pre-order options and information are captured up-front.

 

The result? You reduce or even eliminate frustrating, inefficient back and forth dithering. With the valid engineering and costing built into a kBridge-created order, you never encounter surprises that delay production.
