Announcing New PUMP-FLO Insight Configurator
Software
LACEY, Washington - January 11, 2011 -
PUMP-FLO™ Solutions (An Engineered Software Business),
releases the next generation of its PUMP-FLO product line,
PUMP-FLO Insight. PUMP-FLO
Insight is a completely integrated solution offerings not only
PUMP-FLO's industry standard pump selection tool, but also fully
customizable configuration, pricing, and quoting capabilities. An
interactive tour of the new
configuration software is available online.
PUMP-FLO Insight provides a software tool that pump
manufacturers, distributors, and operators can use from the
preliminary stages of pump selection to the quote, sale and finally
the support and maintenance tracking of their products. PUMP-FLO
Insight is an easy-to-use, web-based product that dramatically
reduces the time it takes to go from a customer's initial request
for a quote to product shipment by up to 50%. By streamlining and
automating much of the pre-manufacturing process, Insight helps
users reduce their order-shipping cycle times.
The new PUMP-FLO Insight product leverages the Concept
Enterprise Product Configurator® from Oak Brook, IL based
company Configure One. Configure one has a long history of
providing configuration solutions to the industrial equipment
industry.
"We're very excited about adding Engineered Software, Inc. to our
growing list of strategic partners," said Mike McDonnell, Configure
One's Vice President of Product Development. "PUMP-FLO software is
already recognized as an industry leader, and the addition of
Configure One's product configuration capabilities, will further
streamline the entire quote-to-order process."
"PUMP-FLO Insight utilizes the technology from Engineered
Software's industry standard pump selection tool with the expertise
of Configure One's highly regarded Concept configuration
application," said Michael Blondin, Chief Operating Officer for
Engineered Software, Inc. "The end result of combining these two
best-in-class software products into one integrated solution is
simply the best selection, configuration, pricing and quoting
product available to the industrial equipment industry."
Insight enhances, and expands the functionality of PUMP-FLO
allowing the user to select and configure the pump simultaneously
and manage all documents associated with each quote and order
generated. By leveraging the PUMP-FLO catalog functionality, pump
curve data is more accurate than other configuration products
currently available. PUMP-FLO Insight allows users to save their
configurations and quickly search through existing quotes and
related documents. PUMP-FLO Insight offers enhanced reporting, data
management, performance, and scalability.
"Our customers wanted a full process solution that could utilize
the powerful selection tool PUMP-FLO is known for, so creating a
fully integrated configuration product was the next logical step
for us," said Carolyn Popp, President and Chief Technical Officer
for Engineered Software, Inc. "Our users have come to rely on our
pump selection software as a key component to running their
businesses. Now, with the Insight product, pump manufacturers can
have a complete solution from the time their customer begins pump
selection until the product is shipped from the manufacturing
floor."

used by the company, and free consultations are available. Custom
pricing and business process assessment available only by
