Fun Fact #13
In the bpExperts Business Flows, we use a single, unified order to handle combinations of products, services, subscriptions, and usage-based offerings.
Did you know?
The Simplified Solution Order framework enables manufacturers to support complex, hybrid business models without overhauling core systems — bringing together physical products, digital services, and subscriptions under one commercial umbrella.
The Expert Deep Dive
This transformational driver enables manufacturers to support complex, hybrid business models without overhauling core systems. Key features include:
Unified Handling A solution order serves as the central document, combining different billing types — from project-based items to service contracts — for a specific offering.
Orchestrated Fulfillment The framework manages the fulfillment of individual items, whether it requires procurement, production, or project delivery, all under one umbrella.
Integrated Monitoring It allows for tracking changes in availability and priorities across the entire solution, ensuring the customer is informed promptly of any shifts.
Why it matters for Process Industry Leaders
Commercial Agility Easily adapt to evolving business models, such as "as-a-service" offerings.
Consistent Experience Ensures the customer sees one comprehensive solution rather than a fragmented set of deliveries.
Profitability Visibility Finalizing a solution commercially provides a trustworthy, reconciled view of total solution profitability.
