Tacton and MLC CAD Systems Enter into Reseller Agreement for TactonWorks
Tacton Systems, global vendor of sales and product configuration software, announced that MLC CAD Systems 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 throughout the South Central U.S.
MLC CAD Systems has provided industry leading CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM and PLM solutions for over 25 years. With nine locations, MLC CAD Systems is one of the largest CAD/CAM providers in North America, and is the number one SolidWorks value-added reseller in the southern region of the United States.
TactonWorks is targeting manufacturers with a need for order-specific customization of the 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 has these advantages over 2D CAD.
"We welcome the opportunity to help our customers to speed the quotation process, to quickly generate custom drawings and 3D models for quotations," said Dennis Hill, President of MLC CAD Systems. "This will reduce our customers' selling costs, thanks to much less custom engineering work, while increasing their sales by enabling them to include custom drawings and 3D models with all quotations."
"We are pleased to have an industry leader like MLC CAD Systems 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.
