Hicron Fiori Vehicle Configurator

Business Scenarios

As a FIORI app, Variant Configurator can be used by both:

• Dealers – using dedicated SAP FIORI Launchpad as a Dealer Portal enabling direct, secure and controlled access to Importer SAP system
• Importer Employees – when managing back-end vehicle-related processes

An exemplary business case for dealers is a mobile scenario, where a dealer’s sales employee can use the Vehicle Configurator on his phone or tablet and configure the requested vehicle together with a customer when e.g. presenting a demo vehicle or even during a demo car drive. Live pricing of the configured vehicle is presented. The sales employee can seamlessly check if the required configuration (or similar) is available in the dealer pipeline and what is the estimated delivery time. If the required vehicle is available in the pipeline, it can be reserved or ordered; if not, a sales order for a made-to-order scenario can be initiated directly from the Vehicle Configurator app.

Apart from Dealers, FIORI Vehicle Configurator can be used in all vehicle-related processes where vehicle configuration is being defined, e.g. when ordering requested vehicles from OEM or when changing vehicle configurations, e.g. options and accessories.
