Getting Started

You know your product. msg.Variant CoFE makes configuration part of the purchasing experience.
Products require explanation; msg.Variant CoFE makes sales easy.
Do you always want to work with up-to-date data? With msg.Variant CoFE, it’s a piece of cake!

With msg.Variant CoFE (Configuration Frontend), your sales team can configure products together with the customer in a state-of-the-art environment while leveraging the SAP rule framework. In addition to the SAP standard rule set, you can easily add additional information such as images and long texts directly in the frontend’s maintenance environment.

The combination of both worlds — SAP front and backend — allows you and your customers a comprehensive representation of your products, significantly contributing to your sales success.

“Overall, we can say that we will never work without the configurator again. We are well aware that it is, of course, an investment. But we benefit from professionalism, competence, and expertise that no one else in our competitive environment has.”
— Ansgar Jost, Director Engineered Solutions, DENIOS AG
