Thern, Inc. implements Helioz zipCPQ for its Portable Davit Crane Configure, Price, Quote Solution

CINCINNATI, OHIO USA (June 8th, 2021) – Thern Inc. and Helioz Technologies have implemented the Helioz zipCPQ™ configure, price, quote solution on the THERN® website to streamline the digital customer experience.

Thern is a global winch and crane manufacturer based in Minnesota with more than seventy years in business providing top-quality pulling, lifting, and positioning equipment. Helioz Technologies, creator of zipCPQ, develops and implements product configuration solutions for manufacturers of mechanical and architectural products.

Thern identified Helioz zipCPQ as a world-class 3D configure, price and quote solution to offer detailed product configuration, real-time pricing, and professional quotations for their product lines, starting with the Thern COMMANDER® Series of portable davit cranes.

The COMMANDER 500, 1000 and 2000 models, which offer capacities ranging from 650 to 2,000 pounds, can now be interactively configured and priced, including winches, base and wire rope options. Once configured, a detailed 3D view is displayed for verification and is available for download in 60+ CAD formats, powered by TraceParts. The fully configured product is then added to the customer’s project, along with other Thern products, which are then downloaded as a detailed product quotation.

John P. Lund, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Thern, stated, “Thern had a medium-term objective of digitizing the sales process and improving the customer experience on our website. The Helioz and Thern teams found each other in 2020 and collaborated on what was possible with zipCPQ. When we learned that zipCPQ is a price/performer, offering all the capabilities that Thern required with a reasonable investment, we concluded that we could accelerate our timeline and implement our product configuration, pricing and quoting solution in early 2021. “Working with the Helioz team is fun and easy, with weekly meetings to keep everyone up to date on every step of the process."

"It is exciting to work with industry leading companies like Thern! We immediately knew there was a great opportunity to improve Thern’s digital customer experience. Having Thern actively participate in the design process has resulted in a fantastic result for Thern and its customers. It is an absolute delight working with the Thern team and to be a part of their success,” said Rob Zesch, CEO & Founder of Helioz Technologies.
