Keynote – Transforming B2B Manufacturing: Driving Customer-centric Growth with CLM

Manufacturers today face increasing complexity, as rising product variability, disconnected systems, regulatory pressures, and dynamic customization demands make it harder to deliver tailored solutions efficiently while maintaining profitability and growth. To stay competitive, businesses must embrace customer-centric, scalable strategies that enhance operational efficiency and customer experience.

In this keynote, René Wiedemann, Managing Director, Industrial Lead ASG at Accenture, will explore key industry trends, challenges, and market developments shaping the future of manufacturing.

Drawing on real-world cases, he will demonstrate how Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) helps companies overcome inefficiencies, improve supply chain resilience, and accelerate customer-driven innovation.

Attendees will gain insights from real-world cases into how leading manufacturers are leveraging CLM to drive scalable growth and create a more agile, future-ready business.

Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) in the Age of AI

As AI – especially Generative AI – reshapes industries, Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) is evolving faster than ever. CLM is key to managing product complexity across the value chain, impacting multiple business functions and processes.

This keynote explores how AI enhances CLM by enabling faster decision-making, optimizing data use, and ensuring 100% validation across systems and teams. AI-driven tools provide deeper insights, iterate intelligently, and refine outcomes by connecting with multiple data sources and reasoning models.

By combining AI with mathematical configuration models, organizations achieve greater speed, scalability, and precision. AI accelerates processes, while CLM remains the structured backbone ensuring consistency across systems, data, and people.

Join us to explore how AI and CLM together drive modeling excellence and operational efficiency, helping organizations scale innovation with confidence.

Scaling Configuration Excellence – ABB Electrification’s decade long journey with Configit

ABB Electrification manages one of the industry’s most diverse product portfolios across a complex global supply chain and multiple ERP and eCommerce systems. To align engineering, manufacturing, and sales configuration worldwide, ABB partnered with Configit to build a global configuration platform – achieving major gains in speed, accuracy, and customer responsiveness.

Through responsive, web-based configurators powered by Configit’s CLM technology, ABB has reduced time to market, cut BOM errors, streamlined quote and order processes, and enabled self-service customers. These advances have translated into measurable productivity and sales efficiency gains.

Now, ABB is strating a migration to Configit Ace SaaS to scale and future-proof its configuration capabilities. The new setup enhances collaboration between engineering and sales, centralizes model management, and strengthens ABB’s ability to support a global, unified approach – with potential for future PLM integration.

This presentation will share how ABB’s global configuration solution has evolved, the results it has delivered, and how it continues to enhance operational efficiency across the organization.

Enhancing Omnichannel Sales with a Unified Configurator at Signify

In today’s competitive market, a seamless customer experience across all sales channels is essential. Signify, a global leader in professional and consumer lighting solutions, implemented a unified configurator to streamline product configuration across business functions and sales channels – including its e-Commerce platform, public website, photometrics application, and quoting system – ensuring consistency and accuracy.

To allow Signify customers to configure products on any channel, a scalable, integrated solution was required to decouple the user experience from the diverse and complicated Signify systems landscape. Therefore, Signify created a microservice-based landscape connecting to the various SaaS configuration engines with Configit, allowing customers and internal personnel to configure and price products regardless of the sales channel.

Join us to discover how Signify’s CLM-driven omnichannel approach enhances customer experience and operational excellence.

From Complexity to Efficiency – Beko’s Integrated Product Configurator

Beko is a top brand of Arçelik, one of Europe’s top three white goods manufacturers, operates with 55,000 employees. For the past five years, Beko has collaborated with Configit to transition from an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) to a Configure-to-Order (CTO) approach while also replacing an outdated MDM platform. This long-standing partnership has evolved from an initial Sales Configurator implementation into a fully integrated Product Configurator, now a core component of Beko’s operations.

In this session, Tuğçe Süslü Kondak, Senior Lead, Digital Product Lifecycle Management at Beko, will present their transformation journey, highlighting key challenges, solutions, and the impact of a fully integrated Product Configurator on operational efficiency, scalability, and the ongoing full enterprise rollout.

Philips’ CLM Journey to Streamlined Product Configuration Management and Superior Customer Experience

Philips is enhancing its product configuration management processes with Configit CLM, addressing challenges caused by previously disconnected tools and processes. The earlier setup led to inefficiencies and inconsistencies, resulting in duplicate maintenance activities, inconsistent master data across tools and customer impact. By implementing Configit CLM, the company is establishing a single source of truth for configurable systems, software and services. Moving forward, a direct connection between engineering (PLM) and commercial (CLM) operations will be established, which will guarantee seamless product delivery to their customers.

This solution has optimized the product configuration and validation processes, ensuring centrally managed and correct configurations. Embedding the Configit Configurator into the Philips eStore environment, enabled Philips to offer their configurable product portfolio directly to their customers via one single source of truth, providing them with a seamless and touchless ordering process. By eliminating redundancies and enhancing scalability, Philips has built a more efficient and future-proof configuration system, improving operational efficiency and customer experience.

This session, presented by Peter van Meurs, Product Owner – CfLM Configit, Capability expert within the Innovation Process & System Excellence organization, will cover Philips’ journey with Configit CLM, including the benefits achieved, key optimizations, and experiences from the implementation and rollout.
