Now working with Tacton and Intershop it’s easier for manufacturers to give a B2C-like buying experience for their customers. Setting up a product configurator directly onto a website will enable customers to quickly configure their unique product with stunning visuals included. With self-service included the customer can quickly bring items into the shopping cart provided by Intershop.
