Tacton and MP Engineering Enter Into Reseller Agreement for TactonWorks
Tacton Systems announced that MP Engineering has signed a reseller agreement for TactonWorks – whereby Tacton Configurator is embedded in SolidWorks as an add-in product. TactonWorks supports manufacturers in generating custom configured quotations for order processing. The agreement covers sales in Sweden.
MP Engineering is the largest SolidWorks reseller in the Nordic region, with close to 1,600 customers. MP Engineeering provides industry expertise and solutions for the entire development process, providing leading edge software within CAD, CAM, PDM and analysis. MP Engineering now extends their portfolio by adding Knowledge Based Engineering Solution with TactonWorks.
TactonWorks targets manufacturers with a need for order-specific customization of product design, e.g. engineer-to-order, assemble-to-order, or configure-to-order, where rules can define what is a valid design for the customer’s requirements. TactonWorks offers significant advantages in interactivity, validation, and ease of maintenance over competing Knowledge Based Engineering solutions for SolidWorks, in much the same way as 3D CAD offers these advantages over 2D CAD.
“This means that our customers' design process can become even more efficient. Tacton Configurator automates parts of the process, and works smoothly and easily with SolidWorks, which is needed for the big-picture thinking that is so important as we help our customers reduce their lead times," said Martin Poulsen, CEO of MP Engineering AB.
"We are pleased to have an industry leader like MP Engineering sell our product configurator software. Thanks to this agreement, more companies will be able to design better products by automating routine engineering tasks" said Christer Wallberg, CEO at Tacton Systems.
