About ERP Systems for Configure-to-order (CTO)


Configure-To-Order (CTO) manufacturing, or kitting, is a method of manufacturing which allows you, or your customer, to select a base product and configure all the variable parameters associated with that product. Based on the configurable items on each quote or order, Configure-To-Order (CTO) production systems typically generate the manufacturing routing and/or bill of materials based on features and options such as color, size, etc.

A popular implementation of CTO is the web-based configurator, which can empower your customers with self-service quotation and order processing while maintaining proper configuration and pricing. This is often used by computer manufacturers.
